Beach Vacation

Almost 7 and 5 years old...this seems so unreal!

 I LOVE this picture of them!! 

True to our style, we didn't have to use too much sunscreen - like we never had to reapply! But we bonded true to our family style so it was all good.  Lots of games of Qwirkle, flying objects, funny stories and dreams of the next vacation!

First we had to say goodbye to Auggie as we  dropped her off at her resort for the week! We were all sad to leave her but she had a great week too.  The home coming should have been recorded!  AUGGGGIEEEEEE!!!! 

Packed and ready to go! 

Their favorite dolphin, Winter 

First steps on the beach on day 1 

Protected turtle eggs.  We were hoping we would see some hatch while we were there, as there were 3 nests close to us, but no luck and Uncle David wouldn't camp out on the beach with the kids! Just kidding, we were there a few weeks too early for them to hatch. 

Grant was so proud to hold Megan...Megan was well, she tried to like it :)

Running in the cool am temps at high tide was very difficult and I eventually gave into walking barefoot 

Mother hen :) 

Hey the sun is out kids! 

Grant needed his hat or shades, poor squinty eyes!

Height of her glory! 

A bottle from Uncle Brandon 

Flying the drone that he had delivered when he looked ahead at the forecast. 

Flying lessons for Grant - shirts are optional on our vacations 

Pops made paper airplanes with the kids to fly (you thought I was kidding about the shirts, I wasn't it!)

Sure! Why not! (they are temporary!) - we love us some St.Jude

This looks very involved and loving - in all reality it lasted less than 5 minutes and we told Pops to stop because he was getting so frustrated when they would just move the pieces - you know just for fun!!

Who needs a selfie stick when you are married to a man with monkey arms?!

Early risers...within the first 15 minutes Grant would ask if he could swim every morning.  We told him we at least had to have our coffee first! 

Pinky's was closed so we settled for Ryans.  Drove back by and Pinkys was open, so we bought candy! It is vacation after all. And Pinky was in rare form.

Last morning snuggles.

Big old jet airliner...take us home to Auggie!
