Beach Bums

Well, we didn't spend our whole vacation at the beach, and we were hardly bums, but the title is too cute to resist.  For Christmas Birdie and Scoops rented a beach house in Port A for the whole family to enjoy, and man - did we enjoy it!  7 days with the family in a 3-story house, with a pool, and walking distance to the beach...perfect!  I can hardly post all the details, but here are some of the highlights.

Hanging out on the porch.

I wish the view of the waves would show up in the background of this picture...it was a beautiful view!

Team Hoff at the beach!

Now there's a beach bum!

Shrimp Boil Night.

We celebrated lots of summer birthdays.  The kids were lined up and ready to open presents!

It was Bryan and Dawson's birthday while we were there, but we couldn't resist celebrating all the boys since they all have summer birthdays.

Brooks got a new backpack for his birthday!  Now he's all ready for pre-k.

Just chilin'.

Happy Father's Day!

At night we would go down to the beach to hunt for crabs.

I love this picture (Laney was a little less enthusiastic).

Birdie and Scoops with all the kids.

Brooks was so sweet to Laney.

The sleepy head finally got to enjoy the beach.

Fun on the dunes.

What a great end to a wonderful vacation!
