Camping at the Beach

 Jensen wanted to go to the beach again for his birthday, so we went camping with two of his buddies (River and Bennett) and their families at Assateague Island, just south of Ocean City. 
 Oh look, there's horses walking through our campsite.  How about that.  We were smart this year and made sure out coolers were in the car.  Our camping neighbors were not so fortunate.

 Oh, and look, a deer wants a snack too.

 The waves were Perfecto.  We got some great boogie boarding done.
 Jensen and River enjoyed getting knocked over repeatedly by the waves.

 Evelyn Loves Bennett and his little brother Camden.  She does whatever Bennett does, like a little shadow, and always wants to "hold" Camden.

 Autumn, the photographer.  I need to get some of her pictures that she took on this trip, but haven't yet, so you just have to deal with mine right now. 

As you can see, the thunderstorms were closing in on us a few times.  We were actually really lucky with the weather and only got hit with the full force of one storm in the middle of the night.  The lightning and thunder were constant that first evening, but the enormous clouds kept circling around and around us and permitted us to cook our tin foil dinners.  At night though, our tent totally blew over and Ammon got soaking wet trying to save us.  The next day was cloudy, but warm and the rain waited politely until we jumped in the car to go home and persisted heavily until we arrived in Baltimore.  I should be a weather lady.  Didn't you enjoy that weather report?
