My brother Troy decided to have a beach yoga class! This was the day we had the beach all to ourselves! Amanda said the move above is MUCH harder than it looks! Above is the downward dog which Amanda is doing below, but he had already moved on to the …

Josh is also enjoying his time at the various beaches. At one beach, he decided to be the one covered in sand. So, everyone set to work covering him up to his head. I had to stop Nathan from covering up his head though. He started to put sand all …
