At the Ocean #1

All packed in the van headed down the beach.
Jenny found a 10 mile beach in New Jersey that wasn't quite so popular, so we crossed our fingers and set out with the Sangers to see what we might find. The Lord blessed us with an awesome spot of the beach with "no people" We spent quite a few hours there just enjoying His creation. 

It was mind blowing to us all who had never seen the ocean before. So the first glimpse put amazed expressions on all of our faces.. It was so much water, so strong, beautiful, and just.. amazing!!

We wanted to get a family pic for the top of our blog before we all jumped in and got wet. Well, we got it done, but barely.  The little boys wanted to jump right in and it is hard to turn your back to something that you want to look at so badly!

But we accomplished it. Thanks to Kaitlyn Sanger for taking the picture! :)

We had just finished, when, Brother Sanger shouts, "Watch out behind you!" He was only joking, but that is all it took to send Mom running and sent us all into hysterics. lol Was so funny!

Getting used to the water.

The sky was so clear and beautiful!

Jelly fish!

Having a blast!

a random shell

Jelly fish were everywhere! But thankfully no one got stung.

Joy collecting jelly fish.

And a very late Happy Anniversary to Dad and Mom!!
On the sixth of August we were all packed in the van driving to IN.

The best parents ever!!

And Happy 1st Anniversary to Micah & Jenny. Theirs was on the 7th, so they also celebrated their happy day in the van on the way to IN. Haha not a very romantic way to spend your first anniversary, but it just kinda had to be that way. We were all glad that they could come along with us, cause this was probably the last time that we could all travel to somewhere as a family. Makes me feel sad to think of it that way, but we made every day being together count!

Justin up to NO good!! lol :)

Digging a hole and finding shells.

The boys building a sand castle.

"NO!" A wave just came in a little too far. uh oh.. sorry boys! :/

I just love this picture!

Making designs in the sand. I took so many pictures of the ocean that I had to split them into two different posts, so I will try to get them posted later.
