At the end of July and beginning of August, a whole bunch of folks from the Jalbuena-Cook Clan made an epic journey to the beach. We did lots of noble things like sleep and play and get sunburns. Noah had a passle of fun, as you can see below. And who are those other little folks? The little one behind Noah at the beach is Emerson Cook, Noah's 7 month old cousin. And Noah's puppet playmate is Emma, who is about Noah's age and lives up the street with friends. Not her friends, our friends. Not that she isn't friends with her parents. Don't call CPS. You know what I mean.

Noah brought his smile home from the beach, too...
