The Cochrans: Beach Trip!

We have so much fun on our little family beach trip every year, and this year was no different! We just had the best time being together! In June, during Drew's week off, we stayed in a house in Santa Rosa Beach, and it was great! Here are the boys the morning that we left....we were on the road by 7:00 am and everyone was ready to go!

We didn't take as many pictures as we have in the past, but we still had a great time! I think this was our first night there...we went and ate dinner and then went to play on the beach some before getting ice cream. Hank was not real happy to be at the restaurant, and he made sure that everyone there knew :) So, he was happy when he got to run around on the beach!

Chase always LOVES the sand!

Hank and Daddy walking out to the ocean...

Hank and Daddy with Wes...we were so glad that Wes got to come with us again this year :)

Drew with the boys...

This is sad to say, but I think this is the best family picture that we took all summer :)

Hank likes the ocean the best and Chase likes the sand...

They had fun letting their feet sink...

Hank and Mommy...

Wes and Drew... (sometimes its nice to take pictures of just grown-ups...you don't have to do a song and dance to make them smile...usually :))

Our house was nice but several blocks from the beach, so getting to the beach was a bit of a challenge. Once there, the boys had fun as long as we didn't run out of "gummies."

Chase watching the "Junior Baywatch" camp that was going on close by

Daddy and Hank playing in the sand...Hank always had to be moving...or eating gummies

Chase eating gummies under the umbrella

Everybody in the water...Chase never wanted to get in but had fun once he did (as long as he wasn't too far out in the "fog" - that's how he described the horizon)

Chase doing the hot dog dance with Mickey Mouse. One night Chase was in a bad mood. He said, "I'm sad, but watching Mickey will make me happy." And, it did.

Hank eating lunch, which always makes him happy

This was our last night at the beach, so we took one more shot at family pics...but we weren't real successful..we sure had fun though! Wes left earlier that day, so he wasn't in any of these...
