Photo night at the beach...

For several weeks now we have been planning to have a photographer friend of ours take some family photos out at the beach. It couldn't have been a more perfect night...no wind (for the first time in about 3 weeks), very few clouds, a rested baby, and boys who were motivated by "treats" to behave. We will post some of the actual pictures when the photographer gives us the disc on Monday...but we thought you might enjoy these.

Justin and Seth were checking out the beach. This is one of the first times we have gone to the beach with a "no water" rule in place. The boys could play in the sand but were not allowed to swim!

This mangy dog was quite interested in our photo shoot. In fact, I think he may have ended up in several of the photos - but when the sun started to set, he actually turned into a very pretty dog.

A very beautiful sunset.
