Thursday I got off work at lunch and rushed home to get the van packed up for the beach! We knew we needed a little family getaway, but didn't plan too far in advance. The weather looked cold in Atlanta and Nashville, so the beach made sense to us :) The kids did great on the drive down and Colin was excited to go eat at the 'submarine restaurant' once we arrived! Too fun how he remembers our previous trips now! They mostly just rolled around in the sand while we sat on a couch and ate. They both were sooo sandy! Colin woke up bright and early Friday ready to hit the beach! We got out there at 8:01, haha. We dug holes and made castles, played in the water (thankfully it wasn't too cold!), and got covered in sand! By 11 the kids were ready for the splash pad and lunch. Colin made it clear that he wasn't going to nap this trip, ha, so Derek took him back to the beach and the indoor pool. Once Connor woke up we all went to the beach again for a while before going out to Cosmo's for dinner. We sat outside to eat and they had a good musician playing that entertained the kids! It was a successful first day :)
Almost got knocked down by a wave, haha. He recovered fast :)
Colin was in heaven the whole day! Poor Connor face planted running a few times...
Sweet boy LOVED the beach this time! He rolled in the sand an loved digging too. His blonde curly hair makes me smile :)
Splash pad water gun fight! Derek showing them how it's done on the water slide!
Popsicle break!
Serious about their shrimp and fries!
Saturday we woke up and it was only 50 degrees! Of course the boys were ready to go at 6:30, haha. We wend down for a little bit, but goodness it was windy! It took a while to convince Colin to leave and come back later. Across the street there was an arcade. Once he heard about that, he was happy to go there for a bit! We all had fun playing games for an hour then went down to Desoto's for lunch. Once we got back, Derek and I took turns taking C down to the beach/pool while Connor napped. We got crab legs to-go for dinner and hung at the indoor pool all evening. For the first time, Colin swam around the pool with his puddle jumper on without us hanging on to him. That's huge progress for him; he has always been so anxious in deep water. It was so cute how proud he was of himself and he sure did love us cheering him on. Connor, on the other hand, was constantly leaping off the steps and pushing our hands off his life vest. Even after going under a few times, he still wanted to do it on his own! Such a mess, that kid. I had to promise I'd take Colin back to the gym pool this week to bribe him to stop swimming. We had more popsicles and hit the bed! Thankfully we got in lots of fun those 2 days because when we woke up Sunday morning it was in the 40s and raining! It didn't take much to convince the boys its was best to pack up and head home :)
Connor wanted to eat cereal like daddy and brother :)
Kids just don't feel cold!!!!!
Serious gamers in this family!
Why not splash in a sweater!?
Love these guys and our adventures together!
