the lost beach photos

Last month, we had an unbelievably great vacation at the beach.  Unfortunately, upon arriving home, we experienced a major camera malfunction and discovered that all of the pictures on our little camera were missing, never to be seen again ~ we thought.... until, my awesome husband somehow tweaked the camera and found the lost pictures.

So, without further ado.  Here they are... (in completely random order), the lost beach photos...

Nate snuggled up ~ sleeping on my chest during sunset.  BLISS.

Nathan's rock train was over 20 feet long!

(see Shannon, my nose is sorta biggish... please reconsider p.s.w.)

We met this guy at the end of the Ocean Beach Pier... Donnie and Nate told him that they liked his ride... his response... "Only in California Man, only in California!"

The flowers at the farmers market were only $1.50 - $4.00 a bouquet.  We bought Gracie a bunch and she brought them back home to Arizona with us.

Nate and Gracie's perfect lunch... Sandy Chicken on our Jones Beach blanket.

Mom was in charge of sunblock... I missed a spot... which resulted in my having to pay $15.00 for Solarcaine at the hotel gift shop... oops!

We walked to the end of the pier for burgers, fries and milkshakes at Ruby's... a family favorite.

Who's looking at who???

thinking about living by the ocean is our favorite daydream...

I love you too Donnie.

Walking the pier to Ruby's, peeking in the fisherman's buckets, breathing the cool sea air and watching the guys surf at night, underneath the pier with glo-sticks strapped to their arms... AWESOME!!!
