Friends? More like family!

I have known the Benson family since I was about 6 years old. My mom went to medical school with Stephanie and both of my parents went to their home group!

They have 3 kids Isaiah, Grace, and Anna!

 I cannot express how much I love this family. 

Anna is only 3 so I didn't really hang out with her as much as I did with the other kids while at the beach, although we did have a couple hours of watching Curious George, playing on the living room floor, and finding shells. 

Grace mostly hung out with the Wolfe kids and their friend Lexi. 

I spent most of my time with Morgan and Isaiah! We had so much fun together... 

Here are some of our adventures:

We walked on the beach at night looking at crabs... 

Apparently Isaiah is a crab whisperer... They would just sit there and let him pet them! 

He actually caught a couple! 

Isaiah tried to get me to at least touch one but that was not an option. 

I don't mind looking at them... But I refuse to hold or touch a crab...

unless its cooked!

We also went out for icecream.

CHEESE!

We didn't take any pictures of the actual icecream...

Come to think of it, we didn't even talk while we had icecream. 

It was really good icecream. 

We also attempted to fly a kite...

That's about as far off the ground as it got.

It wasn't working out to well for Morgan... 

I guess Isaiah couldn't do much better...

Nope. 

Back to swimming.

Morgan decided to be creative so she took the wrapper from the kite and made a water shoe... 

Just one. 

He didn't think it was as good of an idea as Morgan did. 

Who can go to the beach without burying somebody or being buried?!

We watched Nemo by the pool.. 

We pretty much just hung out the rest of the time.

We're cute. 

Don't try to resist it. 

Morgan's donut. We were all involved with this shenanigan.

We played LIFE a lot.

Isaiah and I also had hand stand contests on the beach.. But unfortunately  I don't have any pictures. 

It was a close call... But I won.  

Isaiah did win on the tricks contest though... He whipped out a back handspring. 

Downhill. 

Into the water.  

What a show off. 

Actually I'm just a sore loser.

I had so much fun with these guys... I can't wait until we get to see eachother again!
