Finding Beach Day Gold in the Camera Roll

Was cleaning out Marcus’s phone this morning (seriously, how does he have 47 screenshots of the same meme?) when we stumbled across last summer’s beach trip photos

. Suddenly everyone’s gathered around the kitchen island in their old swimwear, reliving the chaos.

Theo got SO excited pointing out every single sand castle he built, while Sophie pretended she definitely wasn’t posing in half these shots

Theo found the photo where he buried Marcus in sand

. The phone-grabbing war that ensued was peak sibling energy

. Marcus tried his dad move of holding it up high, but these kids have grown since summer.

We finally found the one perfect family photo from that trip - you know, the one where everyone’s actually looking at the camera AND smiling

. Of course it took 200 tries to get it, but who’s counting? Already planning this year’s beach week. Theo’s already asking if he can bring his metal detector again. (The answer is still no, buddy.)
