Fun at the beach

So every summer my whole family-which seems to keep growing- Heads to Ocean City, New Jersey for a week of fun. It is one of the best family traditions we have and even with living in Norway, I try my best to get there. This year there were 16 of us-we added 2 in the last year. We have stayed in the same house for about the last 10 years and as our family grows it seems to shrink but we still love it.
Here is the whole fam

One of the reasons I love ocean city so much is that once we get there we do not get in our cars for the rest of the week. We walk or bike everywhere which is great since we also eat like there's no 2moro! This year we also started a new tradition- bringing the "beach house" to the beach. We got this huge easy up thing that is as big as a carport and every day we pulled it down to the beach and set it up- along with 2 other huge umbrellas- so beware- when the Hunsberger clan arrives get out of our way

here is some of the clan under the "house"

This year we were there when they had a sand sculpting contest and one of the judges was Miss Ocean City so we had to get one of those!

This is me and my sisters watching the fireworks on the beach
