Arning Family Beach Vacation - Last One!

Finally! We've reached the end of the Arning Family Beach Vacation saga. We can now all move on with our lives!

Next blog entry will include photos from our recent trip to the Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway. (Ok. Truthfully, we went to the Summer Shootout a couple of weeks ago, but hey... I'll get caught up sometime!)

Until next beach trip...

Grandma and Chase had lots of fun in the pool!

When Chase was happy, he was really happy!
(But, when he was sick... well, you know.)

Fun with Mama!

Mike took this photo of me.
(I would like to note that I have no makeup on. No judgment, please. HA!)

Yes, Grandpa put Charlie in a tub. Grandpa has crazy ideas.
Luckily, Charlie loves all of his crazy ideas.

"Rainstorm!"

The Beach Boys!
(I hate that the 2012 got cut off a little bit, but what can ya do?)

I love a happy Chase.

Make that three beach boys!

Arning Family Beach Trip 2012
YEAH!

Until next year...

Arning Family Beach Vacation - Part V

Ok. Now this is getting out of hand. I apologize for the plethora of beach photos. I promise to seek help for my addiction. In the meantime, bear with me. I have several more cute photos to share with you, so here goes...

I think this is a cool photo of Chase playing in the sand. 

But, I think this is a really cool pic. I love that it's off-centered.

I love the sweet face in this picture.

A boy and his dump truck.

More fun in the surf.

Like brother, like brother.

Another photo of the elusive Mama.

Chase was very proud of this shell that he found.

"See?!"

Ahh... Grandpa has joined us!

Grandma, too!

Charlie, in his sand hole, loading up the dump truck.

Remember I told you that Chase was sick? Luckily, Dad makes a nice pillow.

Popsicles cure all.

Delicious!

This is one of my favorite photos. I'm really into little toes right now.

Sneaky Charlie, about to strike!

Dad and Chase get the water bath!

Yes, I do have more beach photos that I could share. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that. Not sure if I will post them or not. I have other great pictures to share of more summer fun we've had, so we'll see. Let me know if your sick of seeing pictures from the beach. I promise it won't hurt my feelings. Until next time...

Arning Family Beach Vacation - Part IV

Ok. I know this is getting ridiculous. Bear with me. It's just so hard to not post tons of pictures!

Anyway, here are more photos from our beach trip. Believe it or not, Grandma and Grandpa were there, too. I'll have photos of them next time around. (Yikes. Yes, there are more!)

The boy works hard at the beach!

So cute! The brothers with their Uncle Mattie.

We actually captured a photo of a rare species... Mother  Sapien.
She is always there, usually hiding behind a camera, but on a few occasions,
one can actually capture proof that she does, in fact, exist.
Amazing feat of mankind!
(Seriously though, what's up with my crazy hair?)

Charlie loved it when Dad built a big hole in the sand for him to play in.

This is another species you might have heard of...
Dadas Alligatoras.
Quite dangerous if caught off guard,  but becomes very docile if you give it beer.

I love photos of the brothers together.

This is Chase's "grumpy face." No lie. He makes "grumpy faces" sometimes, just for fun.

And, this is happy Chase.

This was our house. It was my favorite of all of the houses we've stayed in so far.

Charlie learned how to throw a frisbee at the beach!

What form! He's a natural!

Arning Family Beach Vacation - Part III

So, here we are, part three of our Arning family beach vacation. I apologize for taking so many photos. It's a sickness.

Anyway, I don't have much more to say about our trip, so I will just let the pictures speak for themselves.

And yes, I will have at least one more beach vacation blog entry. Sorry!

Remember a similar picture from last year?

Having fun in the pool!

Aren't they looking more and more alike?

Aww... cute pic.

Grammy and Chase bonding.

Charlie, hitting the waves again.

Matthew enjoyed his time at the beach.

You know how much I love pictures from behind.

Poppy loved the ocean, too!

The Arning men... hard at play.

Chase... surveying the work.

I don't remember why Chase was pouting, but who cares? It's a funny picture!

Surfer dude, Matthew

Chase, taking a cue from Charlie, pushing a dump truck.
