Rood reunion beach fun and tide pools

For a weekend in July, four of my siblings and some of their family members came to visit. We had 10 visitors total, and four who stayed with us. Then when those four left, two others moved from the hotel in for a couple of days. It was a full house and I loved it!

This is how we get to the beach--walked from the house

Jeff playing with Ian and Declan. Jeff has been married to my sister for a year and he is a wonderful addition to our family--he's kind and easygoing and fun.
