Just Beachy!

We had a good time at the beach.  I love that there are no schedules (except Jace's nap time) and it's pretty much a do-whatever-you-want kind of trip!  The kids have a blast because of sun, ocean, pool and plenty of candy (courtesy of Papa) around!
Jace did great.  We bought him a new life-jacket because the one I thought was a great deal made him scream the whole time.  Unfortunately all life-jackets for his size have the neck thingy on it, which is what he doesn't like.  But he survived :) He loved the water for a few minutes at a time but mostly enjoyed the sand and even sampled it from time to time!  He did great with naps and night time sleeping was a little rough, but nothing we couldn't handle.


This little miss loved the pool and the ocean.  I'm proud of her because she went swimming several times without her "crab" and swam entirely by herself the length of the pool a few times!!! 


 As our tradition, we also took some fun beach photos...
I wish my camera wasn't crooked and off center but I still love this photo.


And the cousins!! 

Impromptu family photo! 

Nothing beats a week at the beach.  Already looking forward to next year. We are planning on going back to Gulf Shores (we vacationed there before the oil spill) so the drive won't be as long!  Hooray for that!

What a great tradition! I'm hoping we can do that with our adult children and their families some day!
