Ready for the beach! (Thanks, Grandma Murphy!)

This summer, after attending my brother's wedding in Utah, we are headed to the west coast and Ocean Shores, Washington for a family reunion with Joshua's family!

I am really excited for many reasons: 1) I've never met any of his aunts, uncles, or cousins on that side, so that will be fun. 2) ALL of Joshua's brothers and his parents will be there, so it is going to be a party. 3) This will be Will's first trip to the beach! (And possibly his ONLY trip to see in the ocean for awhile). 4) This is our first REAL vacation (somewhere we've never been before) in a long time - a couple of years, in fact. We're going to definitely make the most of a quick trip.

Joshua's sweet mama sent Will a few beach accessories in preparation.

They are sooo cute - thank you Grandma! We're getting ready!
