Beach Day with the "Five Familes"

Today, we had the Acton families down for the annual beach day. We are now dubbed the "five families" because their are - guess - five of us. We are four now as one family is away in Zurich...but will be returning in Sept, just in time for our annual Storyland trip..yeah!
The day started off shaky weather wise but ended up being a fantastic beach day. Kids had a great time. Very busy catching fish with their nets, making all sorts of things in the sand, swimming(of course) and Luke's favorite...having ice cream from the ice cream truck!

Paige and Olivia checking out the fish their brothers caught and put in the bucket..and later back into the ocean -

Ice cream time. "I'm not melting, am I?"
Minute rest for some ice cream talk -
