Family Beach Week

We had our annual Gibel-family beach week last week....what a wonderful week it was!! It was so nice to enjoy the beach, relax (a little), and spend good quality time with the family (especially Jeff and Ellen, who we just don't get to see often enough!). The boys loved the beach...especially Jack! He is my fearless little boy, who would have played in the waves all day if we let him:) The boys are truly doing and saying the cutest, funniest things these days....thank goodness, because life sure is exhausting with two 2-year olds!! Here are some pictures from the beach:)

Fourth of July at Roaring Gap

We spent this Fourth of July in the cooler weather of the mountains! A much needed break from the heat!! We joined in the annual Fourth of July parade and enjoyed lots of fun family time at the lake. Here are some pictures from the weekend. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! More pictures and updates to come after our family beach week next week...counting down the days!! Gotta love summer:)
