The Harbins

Night before... packing like crazy. Abigail was worried about our progress!

Surprise for the kids when they woke up! Who's ready to go to the BEACH!!!!

Kids ✔

Husband ✔✔

Cold Brew ✔✔✔

Let's do this!!

We stopped along the way to stretch our legs and take a fan photo with an excavator. Or whatever it is. 5 years of construction vehicles and I still don't know! #badmom

"Way more fun then sitting in the car Mom!"

First order of business when we arrived- suits on and head to the pool!

Sunshine and baby bathing suits. Doesn't get much better than this. : )

This daring girl loved to jump into the pool!

Oh we played for 5 minutes? It must be snack time!

After a good's night rest it was time for our first BEACH DAY:

This is the man that makes it happen!

Then we have Miss Pouty Face over here who didn't get to ride in the wagon. #3rdkidproblems

Snacky Snacks. Sandy Sand.

Beach Life ☼

It was super warm and not shocking at all.

We'd spend the morning on the beach and head home in time for afternoon nap for the littles. Max got to do an "activity", usually something only "big kids" do : )

Happiness!

Cradling her coffee while saving Jackson from the waves= Mom Goals! She is my inspiration.

It's all about the form.

Just stop.

Max expounding on something or other...

King of the Beach

Good work boys. Dig a little to the left.

Fiiiiiine. I'll help. Once.

Post beach technology

and snuggles..

Friends Forever

Jackson loved to yell CATCH ME as he was in the air and we weren't looking yet! Super fun.

I can't get enough of this face

looooooooove

"Seagull! Hi let's be friends!"

Another year, another week of Garon sharing his bucket!

Aunt Suzy came down to visit!

Jackson and Scott became fast friends : )

LOVE THIS!

Eeeeeee!!

Who doesn't love sand in every crevice of their body?

Beach Princess

Best Buds : )

Love evenings at the beach house.. time for a evening ride around the lake!

Come on guys- keep up

Pool Trip #83748273

It looks like Justin has it all under control. Time for my poolside nap!

We are really good at family selfies! Oops we are missing a kid.

Found Him.

Cheesin with Nana : )

Dinner out at the Blue Crab to celebrate Sarah's bday YUMMMMMM!

True Auntie Love

My heart

Best. Ever.

Bday girl looking fabulous and nonplussed about the loud little kids surrounding her and throwing french fries.

These two HAHA <3

The gangs all here!

We attempted family pics on the beach because THAT IS HOW WE ROLL.

My hair looked fabulous. SO there's that.

Awww

yep. Sarah always gets the best pic.

Then next day was Max's first time with a buddy on the beach! My high school bff Kelly met us in Bethany and we spent the morning jumping the waves and chasing our children :)

Max and Miles met at 10am and were fast friends by 10:10am

Confident Beach Girl :)

Swimming with the big kids. And the dolphins.

Quite(ish) time with Garon

Hold on to those children! lol

Then the little ones headed home for nap while Max and Miles met up in Ocean City to ride the trolley!!

On the way home we stopped to visit with Aunt Diane and Aunt Jan at their beach house!

We fit a lot into each day! Back at home after dinner, Max and Justin went fishing!

Then there always seems to be time to snuggle and make another mess.

Oh look, 9 hours of sleep later and its morning! Time for more snuggles!

Ready for another beach day. Let's do this.

oh my gosh :)

Why didn't we think of this sooner?

Fishing Buddies

Garon always loves visiting with Uncle Tom and Aunt Suzy!

Thank goodness Pop-Pop loves to chase our children all over the beach!

Max's first boogie board lesson was a success!

Aunt Meaghan and Uncle joined us for the day- hooray!!

Little goober

Auntie snacks :)

We headed to the pool while the little ones napped but instead got stuck at the clubhouse while it POURED rain!!! A peaceful beautiful hour snuggling and snacking until the pool opened back up!
