First Beach Day

My cousin Sarah has the cutest little beach house (they call it Alropa) in Birch Bay. It's pretty much next door to my parents condo so last year we stayed there. Jon couldnt be with us last year but this year he made it so he could take a few days off and join us. Sarah also has another cabin right next door. She is the mom to Wyatt and Dawson so they stayed at their cabin while we were there too. Plus my cousin Lori rented a cabin down the road with her mom, sister (Denise) and daughter Trinity. Good times were had! It is so much fun and the sunsets are amazing! We already booked our week for next year.

My parents condo complex is the gray buildings on the left. Alropa is the house to the right. It looks like it is two stories but it is only one. It's perfect!

Like I said "Amazing sunsets"
We totally lucked out this trip too. The tide was out everyday at the perfect times and the weather couldnt get any better! The kids loved it. Here are pictures of the first day.
the twins thought the shovel and bucket were spoons and bowls and wanted to eat them at first


but they figured it out
Sam loves making sand castles!
the girls loved getting sandy and WET!

Courtney especially!

Sam at first didnt like these little water ways but after the last day she was swimming in them!
