I Just Can't Help Myself

Family photos at the beach once a year is a major ordeal with our family. It is usually one adult that is hungry and wanting to leave and not take pictures. Can you tell who is not happy in this photo? Right as I said SMILE everyone was ready except for Brother. He was not a happy camper. We did get some good pictures but I could not help but show you this one first.

More People watching....I can't help myself.

Poor Mommy was just trying to get a tan but baby had other plans.

I don't have a clue what he was doing.

These wives are coming to check and see what their mature husbands are doing down in this water.

While I was people watching......I looked over and saw these women drinking TAB. Do you remember Tab? I didn't even know they still made it.

These 2 Grandmas were so protective while they had the 3 grands out in the ocean.

They were scared to death and would not let the little boys go far away from them.

Then the Mom and dad came and took the boys way out in the ocean. As you can see these 2 Grands don't know what to think.

This is my Grand, "Angel". There is a little story about her and this donkey.

When she was about 3 years old we came to this Mexican Restaurant. It was her birthday. They told her that she had to ride a donkey and she went into hysterics. It was so funny and a good memory. We made her go and stand beside the donkey that she doesn't even remember for this picture. We still laugh about this memory.

Here is another story about "Angel". When she was around 3 years old we also visited this restaurant. This guy waited on us way back then. She is 10 now. Anyway, tonight he was our waiter. We reminded him of the story about her. His name is "Smoke."
He is very loud spoken. Anyway when she was very small he asked her if she wanted some ice cream and she started crying like you would not believe. It scared her to death. She has always heard about these stories but now she got to revisit them. We told Smoke about it and I asked him if I could get a picture with her. We thought he would just stand beside her but he pulled up a chair and made her stand in it and then he squeezed her so tight. It was so cute. She was real embarrassed but didn't cry this time!

Sweet Teen is trying to be cute here! Notice the glasses and blue jean jacket.
This is the "before" picture.

This is the "after" picture.

Before when I was young and looked like her, and after when I am older and so tired. Sweet Teen thought this was so funny. I thought it was a cute idea. They laugh at me all the time for wearing a jacket when they are hot! That is just the way it is when you are an older more mature woman instead of a teenager that knows everything! lol Can you tell I love my grands? I do.
