First full Beach day (Sunday)

Brian took this picture from our balcony without us knowing. We figured out a way to help Ephram stand up (for pictures only:).


burying daddy in the sand while cailey took a dip in her homemade pool


Kinsey girl did cartwheels over and over again!! And Cailey spent a good amount of time on her boogie board.

Cailey was SUPER excited because Kinsey went in the ocean with her to a 'deeper' part.

Kinsey wanted to get buried after daddy...and ephram helped daddy build a castle with a moat.


The sand monster (aka Kinsey) attacked daddy for a horsey ride! One of Braden's favorite things to do at the beach is find things. He looks for sharks teeth, shells, butterfly clams, and sand diggers. And is sure to always run and show his mama the treasures he finds:).


I love this picture of Kinsey and feel like she's singing praise in it.

After four hours on the beach (8-12) a thunderstorm rolled in and the kids decided they wanted they wanted to come in and take showers instead of wait it out. By the time they were done it had stopped so they decided to go play putt putt with Brian while I stayed with Ephram during his nap.


This year they picked a pirate putt putt place. It started raining on hole 14 so they got free coupons to come back another day! Then they went and walked around the mall (favorite pastime of all my kiddos) during the storm before coming home after nap time.



For dinner we went to Sticky Fingers then afterwards went to Barefoot Landing. Cailey and Braden seem to have planned out all of our evenings and we are following along for the ride:). Thankfully the rain was done for the day and we had a nice cool evening.

Ephram took one look at the carousel and wanted a ride. He LOVED it..and it went pretty fast, too. Though he wouldn't agree to ride the ostrich (sniff sniff) he posed on it for me before choosing a horsey.

Both of the girls wanted to do the jumpy rides and Braden chose to save his for Broadway at the Beach.

They LOVED it!! Kinsey went first and did backflips over and over but couldn't ever figure out a front flip. Cailey tried a backflip but wasn't able to do it. Instead she kept letting go and saying, "Look! No Hands!" They both had a blast on it.


silly girls...and kinsey loved this place that looked like an enchanted forest so they got a picture in front of it:)


Me and my honey:). After Barefoot Landing we came home and the big kids went back out with Brian to look for crabs with their flashlights and glow sticks.
