we've just returned from eight glorious days at three different beaches (and return on saturday for another week.) i know how lucky we are ... i've been trying to explain to the kids that not everyone gets to spend the majority of their summer hanging out at the coast, but i don't think they quite get it. but as long as they love it so, and look forward to our next visit by counting down the days, and thank God during our bedtime prayers for the ocean and the sand and all He created, well, i guess that's all i can ask.

| "i think bocce should be in the olympics," says our equal-opportunity sports enthusiast |
 |
| as we do every year, we wound up running into friends from home unexpectedly. this time, it was two of susanna's best friends, anna and marion |
 |
| at topsail, we attended the NC aquarium's weekly program and met some super fun wetlands creatures up close and personal. (the highlight of this event? the turtle peeing all over the floor as the handler walked around with him) |
 |
| just when you think you can't get any more relaxed ... |
 |
... you realize that your slavedriver mother is a teacher and brings your summer workbooks for you to do even on vacation |
 |
| a few weeks ago, susanna had marshall toting her around, and now she's got her brother doing the same thing -- she's got these boys wrapped around her little finger |
