Family Beach Pics

We continued the tradition we started last year by taking family beach pictures. I really, really love how almost all of them turned out. You never know with everyone involved. I have to say, the kids did a great job. 3 cheers go to GG for even getting Gracie in a dress. (She will not wear them these days!). We decided to change our wardrobe to white shirts and jeans. Here are some of my favorites even though I love almost all!

This is one of my favorite, favorites! We all want this one blown up. I just happened to be below them but pretty far away and they both looked through the posts.

This was on our walkover. I set my camera up under our house and sprinted my heart out, running as fast as my legs would go to run up to where they were.

She loves pulling on her Daddy’s ears. Look at that sweet face as she is pulling his ear nearly off!! I have to frame this :)

I’m still working on our family ones. It was nice though, that we didn’t have to hold her the whole time like last year!

A funny about this one… it looks really cute but she had actually had her hands up because she was wanting me to hold her, Ha!!

So I really, really LOVE how they turned out. We are having a hard time narrowing it down to just a few favorites. (I took about 430 pictures!) For the family pics I set up my tripod and the timer and would have about 8 seconds to run as fast as I could and literally JUMP into the picture at the last second. Kelly said he’s never seen me run so fast! A special thanks to Alison for taking pics of the 3 of us. She’s pretty good with the camera herself :)
That’s it for now. These are some of our favorites and it was very hard to narrow some down and delete (especially for GG!). GG said she couldn’t delete pictures of her sweet angel-faced grandchildren (even if they weren’t looking or frowning…)  So more pictures to come later…
