Day three at the Beach house was picture day and Talent show. About a month before our trip Shannon informed everyone about her activity {each child was in charge of something} she decided it would be fun to have a family talent show. Friday morning she sat out the sign up sheet and poster. We had all day to think of the fun to come.
The morning tide brought in a big supply of sea shells.....that the kids had a blast collecting.
Another Beautiful day. Early morning we decided to try and get a few family pictures. {A little over casted so we thought that would be good, so no one had sun in their eyes, and we were hoping the kids would be happy and work with us.... Little did I know, that it would be the big kids I needed to worry about. =)
You would think we all lived in a cave =)
One of the things I like most about getting together is seeing my children interact with each other, always fun.
-Love these kids-
Papa worked with the boys on a building project, Denver and Shannon put up talent show decorations, the little girls made sea shell crowns and Conner helped with the little kids.
Our day at the beach was all about "holes" Every-time we go to the beach the boys dig holes.
They were trying to make one big enough for all the kids to play in.
-Another fun day at the beach-
The talent show was so much fun! I wish I had better pictures....I didn't set my camera for night pictures.
We had a magic act by Sam
dancing, gymnastics by Carlee, Heidi and me
poem- Dad
song- Mason
rock stars Conner, Shannon and family
Hans and Franz- by Becca & Kent
jokes- by our in house Brian Regan impersonator, Payton.
Preston also told us a Joke.
Denver and Bree Morphed into one, for a miniature dance. {had to see it to believe it.}
... and all the kids ended with a song put together by Shannon..."If I weren't an Andersen a -----I would be." They sang it in a round filling in the blank with something- Kent's totally cracked me up.... a lifeguard I would be "Save yourself man, I'm working on my tan."
We have the whole thing on Tape- Denver is working on getting it together for us. I'm hoping to share a little when he gets done with it. I have to say it was a super fun evening.
What I loved- Paytons's face during Sam's magic act {Uncle Sam is several notches higher on the list after his show}
The hug that Carlee gave Conner after his awesome song.
The question that Carlee kept asking during Bree and Denver talent. "How are they doing that, how did they get so small?" Priceless
Laughing so hard during Payton's "stand up" impersonation.
Being awed by Heidi's and Carlee's back walk over.
Just how stinking cute Shannon and her family were during their dance and music act.
Watching Nicholas during Kent and Becca's act....I think he was amazed....so cute!
The sweet spirit during Mason's song.
and the love from Dads Poem.
It was an awesome evening times 10 night.
