I think letting this much time pass after beach week before writing the blog was a bad thing. Now that it has been a while it feels like it was a good vacation. It wasn’t. Everyone got sick, it was fairly cold, and I never ate an actual burger form dune burger.
Well, about halfway through the week I started taking score. This pretty much sums up the week.

Clearly there is plenty to be grateful on that list, but plenty that made for a less than ideal vacation.
Still, it is nice to have a photogenic set o’ kids:
Lars going eagle style on that shell.
Lars and his pops on Life is Good shirt day
Convincing grandpa that Hawaiian shirts are cool
