Beach Day 3

So what's a beach trip without going to the beach, anyway? We finally made our way out to the beach (across the street from our condo) on Wednesday. And as SOON as we parked the car and got 1/2 way down the extremely long boardwalk the floodgates opened and it rained! But we just sat under the pavilion and waited patiently...

Rain, rain go away, Little Charlie wants to play-

But about 10 minutes later the clouds parted and God gave us the most beautiful day to enjoy the Gulf of Mexico! Here's Charlie touching the ocean for the first time-

He loves it!!!

Right when she got out of this part of the water two stingrays swam by! Yikes! IMG_4283
Tucker loved it- I think this was his first trip to the beach ever- IMG_4284
All Marky wanted to do was build, build, build.. IMG_4286
We found hermit crabs and watched them crawl... IMG_4288 IMG_4287 IMG_4291 IMG_4290 IMG_4305 IMG_4308 Zaza and Grandpa looking for treasures- IMG_4294 IMG_4292 IMG_4297 IMG_4296 IMG_4295
All that beach combing wore baby boy out- he fell asleep on the way to the car- IMG_4311 IMG_4310
When we got back we had lunch and then spent the afternoon in the indoor pools playing football and diving for dive sticks. Then after getting cleaned up Zaza and I made a spaghetti dinner with brownies and Sissy, who was watching Daddy work, fell fast asleep- IMG_4314
 But all that cuddly sleepiness wore off on Daddy and minutes later I saw this- IMG_4316
After dinner we went back to the beach to play and take pictures- IMG_4347 IMG_4346 IMG_4345  IMG_4337 IMG_4360

Now don't eat the sand Charlie, okay?

Looks like ya'll are having sooo much fun! You are a great mama and such a sweet family!

I'd better not let Buck see all this fun Marky's having - he'll have me in the car trying to find ya'll!

Blessings, Lori
