June, Part Three: Ormond Beach

We are so very thankful all five of us were able to spend two glorious weeks with my parents in Ormond Beach this summer! My sister's family joined us for the first week of our trip, and Derek's sister's family & his mom were able to come for a weekend, too. What a gift it was to have everyone together in one of our very favorite places!

{When we come up to the condo for a mid-day break from the sun, the kids almost always play a quick game of Solitaire or two while we prep lunch.}

{I couldn't love this pic more! All five cousins having fun and in birth order to boot!}

{these giant grasshoppers were everywhere & provided endless entertainment for Brady this summer}

{impromptu beach yoga with Elly & Leland!}

{the one & only picture we have ever taken with all four of our kiddos' cousins all together!}

{playing putt-putt with the Griffins}

{Brady & Logan had so much together in the ocean this summer!}

Countless walks along the beach, playing Euchre & Solitaire, going to the movie theater, dinners at Stavro's/Hull's/Hide Tides, swimming, boogie boarding, putt-putt, reading with my toes in the sand, throwing the Frisbee, making drip-drop castles, early morning chocolate milk with Grammy & Grampy...these seemingly ordinary days at the beach are filled with the most magical moments that we are endlessly grateful for year after year.
