I could really just copy and paste the words from the beach week blog posts throughout the years. Not a whole lot about this week changes. The babies aren’t quite so babyish, the big kids might pick up a new hobby {this year surfing and card games}, but basically it’s the same perfect week played over again each year. I always love this week. I love sharing a roof with my nieces and nephews for seven days, I love having no real schedule to follow, and I love the beach. All of that together makes this my favorite week of the year.<\/p>\n

Cousin snuggles…the best!<\/p>\n

But our favorite place to be is the BEACH!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2370fb\"\"IMG_2409fb\"\"IMG_2417fb\"<\/p>\n

Tal got a surfboard for his birthday and Mak still had his old one, so this is where the two older boys stayed. They did such a great job! I was super impressed because for the life of me I can’t figure out how a person stays up on one of those things. Collin has more photos from the underwater camera, I’ll try to do a blog post with those later.<\/p>\n

Sweet Tate. I could just eat his little cheeks off. I do not want this baby to grow up!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2545fb\"<\/p>\n

He was so proud of this fish that Andrew caught for him. =)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2546fb\"<\/p>\n

Salty kisses…the best.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2558fb\"<\/p>\n

CC found {what she called} a shark’s tooth! Or a fragment of a seashell. But whatever.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2560fb\"<\/p>\n

Those poor little fish.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2573fb\"<\/p>\n

All the cousins in their Tomlinsons tees! Love! Grandaddy Tomlinson would be happy to see this, don’t you think? =)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2594fb\"<\/p>\n

Lots of overtired children, little bits of silliness, and a few bad attitudes. Pretty typical. I love them so much!!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2600fb\"<\/p>\n

By the way, these cute Palmetto tree shirts are at Tomlinsons for like $7 or something. And they’re super comfy. =)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2601fb\"<\/p>\n

The reward anytime we make them pose for a cousin photo…ICE CREAM!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2605fb\"\"IMG_2609fb\"<\/p>\n

Fake, Fake, Fake. I’ll take what I can get.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2616fb\"\"IMG_2623fb\"\"IMG_2628fb\"\"IMG_2634fb\"\"IMG_2646fb\"\"IMG_2647fb\"\"IMG_2656fb\"<\/p>\n

Y’all. This baby boy was CRAZY that night. Too much sun, sand, and sugar, I guess. I don’t know what it was but the boy was hilarious. he was after all of his cousins on the beach that night.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2661fb\"\"IMG_2664fb\"\"IMG_2667fb\"\"IMG_2668fb\"<\/p>\n

He sure is cute when he’s crazy, though.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2681fb\"\"IMG_2683fb\"\"IMG_2685fb\"\"IMG_2686fb\"\"IMG_2702fb\"\"IMG_2706fb\"\"IMG_2707fb\"\"IMG_2712fb\"\"IMG_2718fb\"\"IMG_2719fb\"\"IMG_2721fb\"\"IMG_2729fb\"<\/p>\n

Sweet baby!!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2734fb\"\"IMG_2735fb\"<\/p>\n

More beach time<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2755fb\"\"IMG_2758fb\"\"IMG_2765fb\"\"IMG_2767fb\"\"IMG_2779fb\"\"IMG_2782fb\"\"IMG_2793fb\"\"IMG_2801fb\"\"IMG_2806fb\"\"IMG_2807fb\"\"IMG_2816fb\"<\/p>\n

And some football. Their favorite.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2821fb\"\"IMG_2824fb\"\"IMG_2830fb\"\"IMG_2832fb\"\"IMG_2835fb\"<\/p>\n

Love this girl!! Why do the babies have to grow up?!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2838fb\"\"IMG_2846fb\"\"IMG_2856fb\"\"IMG_2858fb\"\"IMG_2875fb\"\"IMG_2886fb\"<\/p>\n

CC wouldn’t look at the camera all week long, so I bribed her here. I can’t remember with what. This is the closest she would come to looking at the camera. Pretty little stinker!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2888fb\"<\/p>\n

Lots and lots of Uno and Shanghai was played this year. It was intense.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2892fb\"\"IMG_2893fb\"<\/p>\n

Tal’s expressions during card games kill me.

And that wraps it up! Beach Week 2014 was perfect. Can’t wait to do it again next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
