The Beach 2009

We just got home from our bi-annual beach trip. We had a blast as usual!! Once again we stayed at Waterscape on Oakaloosa Island-right outside of Destin. The kids just love the pools there and for the 1st time really enjoyed getting in the ocean. The water was so beautiful and just the right temperature. We once again went with our friends, Brooke and Mitchell Keathley-who probably don't want kids after this trip :) What can I say, boys will be BOYS!!!

Nicholas really ventured out in the water this trip and has learned to "doggie paddle". This child has come a long way since spring break when he would barely put his big toe in the water!! Harrison manuvers around in his life jacket just great and is so easily entertained. Grant is my beach bum, in the afternoons when Nicholas and Harrison were taking a nap he and I would head down to the beach and just sit there and relax, he really loves being at the beach. Each year keeps getting easier and easier with the boys getting older, next year should be a breeze at ages 3,5,&7. Beach -we'll miss you til next year, until then we have pictures to remember all the fun times...
