Vacation Part 1

When we finally woke up Monday morning we decided to head to the beach. We loaded up our beach toys and towels and beach blanket and drove across the the beach. Our house is actually right on the water, but on a boat waterway not a beach so we drive a bit to the beach. The kids got right to work on a sandcastle. There were many creatures caught in the weeds at the edge of the water and the kids were not fond of them. Too many jellyfish for me. They did enjoy Uncle Terry casting his net out and catching lots of tiny fish and hermit crabs to enclose in their moat at the sandcastle. Connor did so well in the water. I thought he might still be hesitant in the waves but not so! He actually spent more time in the ocean water than the older two.
Jack still loves the water! He loved wearing his snorkel and mask and looking underwater, of course, it was too cloudy underwater to see much. He liked riding the waves out and floating back in.

Bailey, still afraid of the "things" in the ocean! We had a hard time getting her to venture out into the ocean. If daddy carried her or walked out with her she would go but complain the whole time! She did build one great sandcastle/moat thing! She is just not going to love the beach ever.



After a fun morning at the beach we headed back to the house to eat some lunch and jump in the cool pool!

The beach you all went to looks much prettier and less crowded than the one we went to...where did you go??

Connor looks so big, and I can't believe Jack is 9 already! Elena is just around the corner for 9 and she can't wait!
