Well... for me it is! August 1st always marks the beginning of another athletic season. Here is a recap of the SCOOPS Beach Trip 2011. All of these photos are compliments of my Dad!
There are about 29 years of photos of my cousins and I on these front steps at the beach house. We clearly have added the second generation, although some of them seem to be sleeping through their first photo shoot!
Keeping smiles on everyone's faces in between group shots
WooHooo! The "S" side of the SCOOPS family.
The entire SCOOP family! My sister did a great design on the family tshirts. Yes, we ROCKED them at the boardwalk. We looked pretty impressive as a group of 14 ... I must say.
Waiting for the best pizza in the world! NICOLAS! It was good when I was little, but even better with a hometown lager to wash it down.
Anna and her Daddy at the beach for the very first time. She did great with the sand and the heat! It was a scorcher, and by the end of the week she was in the water just like a big girl!
Pink Ladies!
Babies, Aunts and Mommies!
The little girls had matching bathing suits. We already started the second generation on matching outfits and beach photo shoots. They are doomed :)
Aunt Abby has to get in as much Anna time as possible!
Enjoying one of the many themed parties on the back porch. This year we had "All American Night" and "Fiesta Night".
Maggie observing the chaos from the safety of her bouncy chair. She did great at the beach with her boppy and shade tent!
Me and Bruce hanging on the back porch!
It was a great week at the beach, and I can't wait till next year. I am blessed with many wonderful memories at the beach with my family over the years. And truly blessed that my Grandmother was generous enough to share her love for the beach with my and my cousins. May these memories of laughter, sea salt, and sand carry me through until more can be made.
