Beach Trip...Day 3

Loving life with our toes in the sand...

I Couldn't get this kid out of the ocean today...he loves jumping in the water...

Grayson had all the fun he could take and fell asleep under the umbrella this afternoon

Snack time was by the pool today

The boys got new cars this evening at the gift shop and were very proud

Grayson picked a car and Thomas picked a 4-wheeler

Thomas was cracking himself up again...

Grayson was giving his mommy sugars...

Hanging out on the slide...

Playing the drums at the park on the beach...

A race down the slide...

Swinging...

Grayson sporting his shades...he always wears them this way...

Dinner went much better tonight. Not hardly a quiet peaceful dinner but we are back on the right track. There was a lampshade in the middle of the table however that ended up being worn as a hat. Thomas explained to us it was their "cooker hat"

Good thing the folks at Rossi's, where we dined tonight had a good sense of humor. By the way the food was delicious. Even Thomas ate good and enjoyed it!

Day 2 of our trip

Breakfast of Champions...

Cinnamon Rolls & Bacon accompanied by a few Cartoons

"Life is good at the Beach"

Lots of going underwater today for Thomas, this is the first day he has really been going under on purpose. He has mastered holding his breath under water today.

Grayson does a countdown as he jumps into Mommies arms...

When the music from the Ice Cream Truck is heard in the background, Thomas thinks he must have a Spongebob popsicle. He remembers this from last year and couldn't wait to get another!

Grayson using the net for a hat...

These two have it made in the shade...

The expression on Emily's face tells it all...Dinner was a disaster. We went to my favorite place, The Sea Captains House, our mouths were watering for some of our favorite seafood and we were all dressed up, in hopes of getting some good pics after dinner on the dunes outside the restaurant...our children obviously had different plans...Our little angels turned into little devils, Both had to be escorted away from the table on multiple occasions to visit the restroom for serious talks and major spankings...Nothing was helping, they were fussy, irritable, and we had all we could take before our food ever got to the table so we politely asked for to-go boxes and checks as soon as the food came.

Conveniently as soon as we got in the car, they were fine again but our nerves were shot so we opted to take them to the pool let them play till they dropped and put them in bed with cartoons and a snack. We are keeping our fingers crossed that there will not be a repeat performance of our dinner experience.

Barefoot Landing

We had Dinner at Joe's Crab Shack then we shopped and entertained the boys at Barefoot Landing...

Hanging out with the Pirates

Bungee Trampolines

The crowd cheered Thomas on as he perfected his flips!

Grayson gives it a shot, he was so brave...

Check out this huge inflatable slide, you climb up through webbed ropes on the left then slide down on the right...I couldn't believe Thomas wanted to try it, my only concern was, "who is going to climb up there and get him down when he freaks out" the lady running it assured me I wouldn't have to that she would go get him...so I let him give it a shot. He loved it and went all the way to the top like a little monkey, slid down, and said "lets do it again!"

Grayson loved the clowns and the face and hand painting!

After all that excitement we had to sit down & rest with icecream of course!

"The Brothers" as they call themselves

Rub a Dub Dub, Two boys in the Tub!!

Beach Trip...Day 1

We started our day with a delicious pool side breakfast this morning...

And a couple of very excited little boys loving on their mommies...

Thomas convinced Grayson he had to wear this bracelet so they would be in a club together... (Not sure where Thomas dreams up these ideas but both of them did proudly wear it all day long)
