Two of my dearest friends and I decided early in the spring that we were willing (and crazy enough) to take all of the children and stay at the beach sans hubbies. And the entire time we were there, we kept talking about how we needed to get pictures of us with our babes … I mean, after-all, one of us is a photographer — and there was a beautiful sunrise and sunset each and every day … but then time got away from us and we took these on our way out of town. I mean, the cars were packed up and ready to go and we stopped and snapped a few pics and then hit the road! So — the lighting is horrible and the kids are squinting but whatever, any time I can get a mama to actually get in a frame with her kiddos, I’m thrilled!
