Beach Trip Part 1

We were blessed to have an opportunity to take a little beach vacation before jumping into school.  We got a great deal on a condo right on the ocean.  Anastasia did well on the ride down, but she gets fussy if she's in the car over four hours.    The two big kids work hard to keep her happy- snacks, books, toys, songs- and finally baby shows on the DVD player.

We were shocked to find we were on the 30th floor!  I was intimidated, but we got used to it.  I loved being right by the water. 

This was a working trip for Marc- he had several client meetings over several days.  One even sent over a gift basket complete with baby food!  :)

Annie Rosie was so happy to be out of a car seat!  :)

Then it was the big Publix run for the week's worth of groceries and toys.

Tucker and Charlie were THRILLED to see a giant chess set- they played with it every day!

 

Winning with the baby pool on the beach.  :)  Annie loves it!

 

When Tucker was a toddler and in love with the moon he used to call it "God's frashlight."

So it was sweet to see my children out with their "frashlights" running around under God's.

I so love vacationing off season- the beach was not crowded at all.

The beach was different every day.  The first few days it was more mirky and had a lot of sea life.  We caught jelly fish and crabs.  The later days it was clear and fresh and we only saw fish.

Sweet baby girl is still a water baby.  She LOVES her little Mambo seat and floating down the lazy river.  :)

And she loved the splash pad!

 Playing chess with Daddy-

Wednesday evening we went to the vigil Mass for the Feast of the Assumption.

Then we had dinner at Lambert's.  I wanted a close up of angel in her sand dollar dress, but she wouldn't look up.
