Friends Beach Weekend

Last weekend a group of us decided to go nuts and take 5 kids to the beach for 4 days and 3 nights and stay in one house together. The oldest kid was just over 3, and the youngest had just turned one... and the only couple without a kid, was pregnant, too late for them to turn back now! Not only did we all survive, but it was a really fun weekend. We're hoping to make it a tradition. The Newport Aquarium, Lots of Beach time, S'mores, games, and good food. Now for what people care about... lots of photos.

The hurricane experience... I think the winds in there got up to 80mph

Random guy, just loved the shots I got of him before he got back in the water
