Our trip to the beach was the best!! We sort of wish we were still there. I was amazed that we could fit 29 individual human beings into one house. But we did and it was fun. Here's a photo list of the things we saw.

Chris was surfing one eveing and he noticed a 5 foot shark about 20 feet away. He immediately placed his surfboard between him and the fish and quickly swam to shore. We also saw two dorsal fins swimming among the school of fish. Pretty cool.

grandma shelly

Lana was the only child awake. I think she was pleasantly surprised that Grandpa let her actually do this and that we let her stay up. First there was the blush. And more blush. And more blush.

Then there was the eye shadow.

And then there was the mascara....on the mustache.

And then the hairspray and headband came out.

She was in heaven.
