The whole time we were at the beach the kids took turns riding in each other's cars so they could be together (usually we either had boys OR girls) but one day they all squished in our van:) fun times!
We went to Atalaya Castle and a different state park for the beack this day. The kids learned all how sculptures were made and toured the castle seeing what life was like for the owners. Great History lesson!
afterwards we walked to the beach for more ocean fun...
i went in the water with the kids and boogie boarder this day and ended up losing my sunglasses in the rough waves! it was fun though:) i love the water but am nervous about sharks. this is also the day that ephram started to LOVE the ocean and spent most of his time laying on his tummy waiting for it to crash on him. he was VERY brave and even when he'd get completely covered he would just smile/laugh and do it again!
The kids had a science lesson when we visited a nature center on the way out. They were able to touch stingrays and horseshoe crabs...they LOVED it! they also saw snakes, alligators, and fish.
The non nappers went to the pool when we got home and while running back home in the grass Braden got something stuck in his foot. He told me it hurt but then went off to play Monopoly again so I forgot about it. After the game he got down and limped over. Turns out he had something stuck VERY DEEP and it needed to come out. This would have been a trip to the ER if it had been any of the other kids (or me) but I gave him a lollipop, the ipad to watch a show and play games on and started praying. OH MY WORD. he was beyond brave. can't believe it honestly. Brandon's mom is a nurse but it took a long time of cutting and digging before it came out. He winced a couple of times and inhaled deeply once as if in pain but that was pretty much it..the whole time! SO VERY BRAVE!! and a high pain tolerance. thankful we didn't end up having to go to the ER!
they were waiting patiently for the patient to be done:).
