This year we were missing some family members at our annual Lutes Beach Trip. The ones who were able to make it were... Mom, Jeremy and his family (minus Little Jeremy), Me and my family, Heather, Emily and her family, Alyssa and Camryn, and Ashleigh with a little bit of Erin and Andrew Brown. It was a small group this year but we managed to still have a lot of fun!
I was busy doing more video recording this trip so I didn't get as many pictures as I maybe would have normally got.
Rylee Heather and Heather Marie.
Mom is not a fan of being touched and Heather likes to antagonize her a little bit by encouraging hugs and random massages and such. Mom was busy playing a game and while she was occupied and concentrating Heather stood by her and just placed her hand on her shoulder. It took Mom a little bit to realize there was a hand on her but when she did she quickly shrugged it off. hahaha
Rylee has been sometimes sporting this awkward smile lately. I think she is not always thrilled with me wanting to take pictures of her.
Avynlea managed to make charcoal on her face look cute!
Rylee and Jaylynn loved their time together at the beach. These two are very good friends/cousins. I only wish we could get them together more often.
The big kids spent some time digging a hole. Kenedy and Alyssa decided to go in on buying a small blowup boat together to take out into the ocean. They and the others had some fun playing with it in the water but it didn't quite work out like they envisioned it. I think it was a bummer in that sense but I did see some nappers using it for a bed every once in a while.
For dessert one night Ashleigh and Andrew had us make cone s'mores. Take an ice cream cone, fill it with chocolate chips, peanut butter and marshmallows, wrap it in foil, then place it on the coals long enough to melt but not burn. It was good but I still prefer the original way of doing s'mores. Kenedy took a leftover marshmallow and tried roasting it on the coals.
I love the beach!
We took family pictures Saturday morning. This year we ordered plain white t-shirts and everyone had the job to tie dye their own. I love how they all turned out! Alyssa and Camryn had size issues with theirs as well as Jeremy so they didn't have the tie dye, we love them anyway ;)
Family pictures were a little sad with so many members missing. Hopefully next year we will be back to full capacity!

And a sad Mom and and kids picture, sad only because we are missing half our siblings. Otherwise this is a great picture!
Heather and I did our tie dye the same hearts and all. We are the cutest!
