More Vacation Fun!



Brian, Braden and I went on a run first thing in the morning and did 2 and a half miles..yay! The boys went another 1/2 mile to make it three. Afterwards we went down on the beach for breakfast because Cailey's birthday request was bagels on the beach:). I've had the chance to take each one of them on beach walks one on one which I LOVE! After breakfast we all changed and went back out for another fun day! I'm so thankful our condo is right on the beach.



brothers...and the birthday girl!





we dug out a big pool...which disappeared after the tide came in! it also soaked up ephram's leg...but thankfully his cast didn't get wet.



The tide coming in so far created a 'river' which the kids played in all day! Ephram would have LOVED to get down and play in it too:(. They floated along on their boogie boards and found some beautiful shells. They also made trains with the boogie boards pulling three at a time while having the rope connected to their ankles.


Then it was pool time!


We went to Johnny Rockets for dinner to celebrate sweet Cailey's birthday.



I had yet another surprise for Cailey's birthday! The Keel's came to eat dinner and hang out with us for the evening. She was so excited and couldn't believe they were there! After getting sung to, having a chocolate shake, and finishing dinner we headed out for some shopping in the drizzle.

Daddy's dream come true:)! And my chocolate boy was in heaven and filled his whole bag with chocolate goodies. Cailey and Kinsey had mostly sour and chewy candy...while ephram stuck to smarties and some chocolate pretzels.


candy kids....and our sweet family


After watching a cool magic show we went to the rides where each of the kiddos rode two or three of them. Kinsey and Lilly started out on the Caterpillar while Abby, Braden, and Cailey were on the pirate ship. Ephram LOVED the boats then they all went on the carousel together.

ephram and braden rode the doggies, kinsey and lilly rode the zebras,
and cailey and abby rode the ostriches:)


The whole gaggle of fun! And my tired kiddos who fell asleep the seconds their heads hit the pillow. I'd say they had a GREAT day and Cailey's 10th birthday was pretty special.
