A video every day! At the beach

I went to Florida with my mom and Benton (and all three kids, but no Grant) in July. I am not much of a beach person so I'll admit to being a little apprehensive about the trip. I was so excited to have the time with mom and Benton but I was worried about the car trip down (about 7 hours, I think) and all the work that goes along with being at the beach /(sunscreen, swim diapers, eating sand, not drowning, etc), on top of not loving the beach to begin with! It ended up being tons of fun and I'm so glad I went. The kids loved the beach and that made it ten times more fun than it normally would be for me. One night we went down to the beach in Seaside and there were large swarms of families, all dressed in white and khaki, taking photos on the beach. I'm not picking on anyone in particular, but why does everyone feel like they need to do the exact same attire for their beach photos?! It was crazy. There were probably ten groups of people dressed like this, with an average of ten people per group, all at the same time. It was actually comical. Anyway, here's a very short video of the children (not wearing white and khaki!) playing in the water that night.

Wasn't that the craziest thing to see all those groups dressed just alike i their "Beach Photo Attire"? It was fun to watch the kids playing in the water that night!
