beach life :: twenty-fourteen

We just got back from our annual family beach vacation!  Drew and I look forward to taking the kids each year and, I have to say, each year it gets better.  Hadley wasn't walking last year and that made it hard to be on the beach with her, but this year she was running all over and loving it!  The house we rented with Drew's family was so gorgeous - right on the ocean, rooms for everyone, and a fun pool with a zero-entry side which was perfect for the little ones.

Asher wasn't a fan of the sand and surf for the first couple years of his life, but he's done a complete 180 and couldn't get enough this year!  He dug, built, splashed, then started again.

Hadley, on the other hand, could often be found here…

She liked the sand and enjoyed finding shells, but mostly she's of the "R&R" school of beach vacation.  Give her a beach chair and some snacks and she was good for a long while.  A girl after my own heart.  ha!

One morning while we were beachin' it a storm started rolling in.  It didn't seem that bad until I looked back at these photos later.  Yikes!

I gussied up a little swimsuit coverup for H and it met all my adorability expectations.

Surpassed only by her tiny ponytail - I die.  Love her!!

I took some beach photos of the kids but they need their own post so I'll just leave you with these few of our girl and boy on their own.  Sweethearts!

We had so much fun - more beach posts to come!
