BBQ, Beach Volleyball, and FAMILY

We had another picnic this weekend, this time at Shark River Park.  And this time we did a BBQ and celebrated Braden's birthday a few days early.  I forgot to take out my camera while we were all eating, but then later Jordan decided to try grilling the corn without foil, so I did get one pic :)

Kelly made a delicious oreo cheesecake (Braden's request).  It might not have look super pretty, but it sure was yummy!!!!

My younger brother Alan and his wife Stephanie got here Saturday night, so they were able to enjoy the nice BBQ with us also.  We are really excited that they will be here all summer with us!  We don't get to see my family too often, so it will be great getting to spend so much time with them!!

Later that night the guys got together to play some beach volleyball.  They were having so much fun they didn't want to stop.  They played till it was so dark you could barley see the ball at all.

My mom keeps asking how close our apartments are to the beach.  Each time I tell her that they are just right there, just a few steps away.  She must not believe me because she keeps asking over and over again, and begging me to take a picture to prove it. haha.  So here is one.  It's not that good, but you get the idea.

See.  Right on the beach!  I really like the apartments.  I don't think I could live here permanently (it's too busy for me) but it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us, so I'll take it without too much complaining  :)
