off to the beach*!

"Hi, you've reached the R**** residence. They can not come to the phone right now because they are too busy having fun at the beach for the next 4 days. Please leave a message and they'll get back to you once they've returned and removed all of the sand from their belongings!...BEEEEEEEEP"

the kids start school on Monday- so we are turning off the phones, shutting down the internet and heading to the beach for one last breath of summer..........between school, soccer and the kids' social schedules there isn't much time during the school year to just kick up our feet and enjoy being a family together without distractions.........

*yeah I know we live 10 minutes from the ocean.......but this way I don't have to cook or make beds!
