Here's the house that Mimi rented for the whole gang!
Hayden and Cole hanging out on the deck steps!
Eli turning into a sand monster! 
Mike and Eli enjoying the beach together!
Cole and Hayden spend most of a day gathering fire wood and making their own little fire pit on the beach! They even set up little benches for people to sit on. They were so proud of themselves! Actually when Mike went down to start it for them all they needed was a flame! They did a great job building the fire!
Gracie, Charlie and Abby spent a lot of time in front of the fire pit roasting marshmallows!
Cole was the fire pit master! The kid is obsessed with fire! Probably a bad thing, but we let him help start a few and he was the first one out every morning to stoke the fire to get it going again!
Gracie and Mimi doesn't the saying say "smoke follows beauty?" It sure liked them! :)
One day we took a train ride from Rockaway to Garibaldi. It was a neat old train and it was a beautiful day to take a ride!
Brittany (my brother Brian's girlfriend) was able to spend some time with us at the beach too! Gracie took full advantage of her styling abilities and sat patiently for about an hour and a half while Brittany corn rowed her hair! It looked amazing and the best part was she didn't have to do anything to her hair for a week!
Gracie and Abby goofing around!
Building sand castles! Well, Joey would try to build and Eli loved to destroy!!
Gracie, Courtney (My sister-in-law Heidi's niece) and Haylee making sand turtles!
Buddies.....well most of the time! :)
The whole gang of kids at Seaside! Well a month has gone by since the day we left, but we had such a great time I just had to share! Mom rented a house for a week for the whole family! Em and her girls, Heidi and her kids and nieces, cousin Abby, my kiddos and I and of course Mimi and Charlie! Even Mike got to come up for a few days! It was an amazing house which sat right on the beach! We could literally sit in the dining area and watch the kids play in this little stream that ran along side the house into the ocean! We had nine days of sunshine and one day that was overcast and rained off and on! I don't think it was possible for the weather to have been any better! There were only two days we could even get kites to fly because there wasn't even any wind! Thanks Mimi for the great vacation!

Great post! One of my favorite, without a doubt! I am so very happy that you and your family got this time together, that the weather was beautiful and that you had so much fun! Love the picture of Gracie's hair...she is so cute she could pull any hairdo off!
That sure was one amazing house! The kids had so much fun playing together! I know they'd love to get together with them more often. It's been a crazy busy summer! It was nice to be able to all spend some time together and in such unbelievably nice weather!!
I wanna go back!!! Waaah... It was fun! I can't believe how nice the weather was when we were down there. I should probably try to post something about the beach now that it's been a month since we were there lol.
