The boys and I took a little detour on our way home from Georgia to spend some time at the beach. Unfortunately, Daddy wasn't able to go because of work, but the boys and I tried our best to have fun anyway :-)... Truly, we did miss him terribly!
Bob-O and Gracie took us and we had a great trip. N and M had not been to the beach since M was an infant, so this was really their first beach memories. I was a little nervous about how J would do, but he loved it! He loved the water and even did not mind the sand (although he tried to eat it!)
When we first checked in, our room was not quite ready so we went to the pool. J loved the zero entry pool because he could just crawl around in the water:
N's solution to helping us carry some of the beach gear... hey, it worked!
M's first time in the ocean... that smile really says it all!
Building their first sandcastle with Bob-O. I think it lasted about 3 minutes before they knocked it down!
The boys took great delight in burying each other in the sand. They wanted to bury me and when I said, "OK"... I think they were shocked! Yuck! That was true love!!!
Our forecast for the week was rain showers every day. We had BEAUTIFUL weather. We had a few tiny isolated showers that only lasted a few minutes and one was followed by this gorgeous rainbow. A reminder to me of God's true greatness! It was a blessing to have such wonderful weather the whole week!
J's first time in the ocean. He Loved it!
How sweet is this!
We spent one afternoon at Pier Park in Panama City:
The thing that I want to remember about this picture is that N and M were the only two kids on this ride and they chose to sit together. They fuss and fight, sure, but they are really best buddies. They didn't even think twice about each driving their own airplanes... just hopped right in together!
N and M had a fit for these plastic blow up spiderman toys. To win them, they had to climb up this really tall tower. The two little monkeys scampered right up, eager for their prizes. They were so proud of themselves! It was VERY tall. Gracie didn't think they would be able to do it, but I knew how determined they were and that they both are great climbers!
The last morning we were there, we took a walk on the beach and picked up sea treasures!
Our best version of beach photos. It was a little difficult with a squirmy baby, but they are so handsome that it doesn't even matter!
What a wonderful vacation and wonderful memories. The only thing that could have made it better was for Daddy to be there. Hopefully, next year!
