The first weekend that James was out of school Ryan was working so I decided we might as well get out of his way and go on to the beach! My parents were keeping Georgia so it was a great time to have some cousin time.
 |
| This was the sight at the school- everyone waving goodbye! We literally walked home and got straight in the car to go. |
 |
| One thing that we have loved is that the pool is an easy 5-10 min walk from the beach house and I had promised the boys ice cream so that was one of our first adventures. |
 |
| Everyone always wants a turn with Nene! |
 |
| Being the mean mom that I am I had not ordered ice cream for A and K but Georgia was sweet and offered to share |
 |
| Kate couldn't understand the concept of taking a bite so she kept scooping it out with her finger |
 |
| We put the kids to bed and my mom graciously offered to keep them so Dad and I could go out. to eat. So special! |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
| When we got back this little stinker was up. |
 |
| Mornings on the deck! |
 |
| Beach time! |
 |
| A and K are still not big fans of the beach but they got better as the weekend went on. Thankfully it's only a 5 min walk to the beach so we just could go for short spurts of time. They can make it for about an hour and then they are over it. |
 |
| I managed to get Andrew to walk all the way to the beach holding my hand while Kate was on my hip and the boys walked beside me. Major milestone! |
 |
| Poor buddy- he kept trying to walk on back haha |
 |
| James was thrilled that Aida came to play for a few hours |
 |
| Life on the beach can be hard when you are one |
 |
| One thing always makes it better- snacks! |
 |
| One night after the kids had been in bed for awhile I snuck in and got James up and we went for a walk on the beach. |
 |
| Love him so much! |
 |
| He just talked away about all sorts of things while we were walking. His mind is always on the move. |
 |
| Back to the beach the next day! |
 |
| At one point these three were all happy with their buckets. We quickly learned that everyone needed their own bucket, no sharing lol. |
 |
| Meanwhile James was practicing on his boogie board |
 |
| Andrew is actually happy on the beach- progress! |
 |
| Conversations with Nene |
 |
| Back to the pool for yet another snack! |
 |
| All four of my kids are obsessed with applesauce |
 |
| While the three younger kids napped James got to have some fun with Uncle David |
 |
| Getting ready for our first boat ride on Pappy's boat. It was Andrew and Kate's first boat ride ever! |
 |
| This face says it all- not a fan |
 |
| Andrew slept about 30 mins and the rest of the time he was miserable. Screaming, kicking, wanting to get down and run around. I don't think A and K are going to get to come on too many boat rides this summer... |
 |
| James and Harrison sure loved it though |
 |
| Snuggles with Tia |
 |
| We made it back! Now time for bubbles! |
 |
 |
| Harrison asked to eat on the deck so he could watch the sunset |
 |
| We ended our weekend with a Popsicle and then headed home to Daddy! |
