{A DaY aT tHe BeAcH}

We lived in Huntington Beach for several years, and we love it there.
We spent a day kicking around the beach....

Libby loved her "bike".

At first, she was a bit nervous.

But when her brothers showed her there was nothing to fear,
she relaxed, and took to ringing the little bell and waving to everyone!

Tanner even practiced his texting skills as he rode along!

A few "tricks" (of course!)

Then down to the seaside...


I love all of these photos so much! They really
reflect the personalities of our children. I've not edited them at all,
but maybe after my 4 day class this week, I'll be able to!

I LOVE how you captured your family on this vacation. The love and joy the siblings share for each other is so apparent. So glad you had a wonderful trip.

I WISH WISH WISH I could be there for the class this week. Turned out that it falls too close to us leaving out of town:( Please take notes for me. I would love to hear some tricks of the trade:)

What Fabulous photos, Erin! I love the expressions of your children in each and every one. Seeing your family in shorts makes me anxious for Summer...it was 38 degrees here today! :)

Oh I love these. What a fun vacation. I can't wait to see some pictures of Libby with Mickey Mouse! I thought it was so cute that she said "only one more sleep" before she got to see Mickey!
