Family Day at the Beach

Recently, Karis asked Derek why we don't go to the beach more often.  He didn't have an answer for her.  We really don't have an excuse -- the beach is close by, it's summer time, and the girls love to play in the water and sand.  We're going to try to go to the beach more often because before we know it summer will be over.

This was Kyle's first trip to the beach.  He slept in my arms most of the time.
