beach life
There were several firsts on this trip. Hayes, Embry and Ellie experienced their first plane ride... Mommy and Daddy experienced their first thoughts of leaving someone at the airport intentionally.... but I won't point any fingers. Just kidding. I think. :)
Embry and Ellie experienced the beach for the first time. They preferred the sand over the water. Hayes couldn't get enough of the water, which was a complete one-eighty from last year. Kyle and I loved watching him enjoy himself so much.
It was a bit crazy at times with all the kids, but it was such a special time that we are so thankful for... the walks on the beach, jumping across the dock with no one falling in, Peg Leg Pete's, celebrating Maddox's first year, color-shift hot wheels, the shirts that Laura made for the kids, the Hello Kitty dvd, Kyle's olives, catching flounder off the back dock, outdoor showers, collecting sea shells and relaxing on the balcony.
I think my favorite day was Friday. It started out with an off-shore fishing trip with the boys, followed by a massage with the girls. We had the best dinner that night at Flounder's... delicious food right in the sand.
Thank you Grandpa and Nana for an amazing trip.
This is the stuff memories are made of. :)
We love you guys,
Kyle, Trisha, Hayes, Embry & Ellie

In completely unrelated news...
"How much did you use?"

fit to be tied
"Waaaaaahhh."
Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!"
After a minute or two of encouraging these shenanigans, she started laughing and forgot all about the fit. She can be quite the little drama queen. She literally jumps up and down and flails her arms about... and occasionally falls to the floor. It can be quite the show.

great wolf lodgin' it
Oh man! Was the T-Rex Cafe the coolest place to eat or what? Right up Hayes' alley!
Ellie dishing out money from her new, beautiful T-rex wallet... tell me you had one of those cute, plastic wallets when you were a kid! The kids loved throwing coins in the water fountain. Later, Embry took a dollar bill and dropped it down a drain because apparently, there was water down there too.
Pooped after a great trip.
So I had some camera issues (more like camera operator issues...). Most of my water pics turned out blurry. The t-rex picture couldn't be zoomed out, unless I wanted to climb some rocks, or people. And I didn't. That's what I get for being lazy and only taking one lens. But it's all I got, so it's what you get. :)
