the beach

i could totally live at the beach.... if we didn't have to work... and we had several extra family members ready and willing to entertain my kids... and we had our own pool... and we had dinner cooked for us each night..... so yeah, not moving to the beach any time soon. too bad.

last week we spent the week in florida with ryan's family. it was so nice. i really felt relaxed and "vacationed" when we came back. so much so that i can't get my butt in gear. but you would be proud...i have done the laundry... AND folded it. (it's just sitting beside me as i type... in neat little piles... just crying out to be put away... i'm giving it the silent treatment)

back to vacation details... the weather was perfect. we never got rained out. no one got sunburned. sara and wilson did great and enjoyed both the beach and pool. 

sara liked to start out in the pool and then make her way to the beach. wilson napped on the beach several times. they slept in the same room! (the first time in six months ryan and i haven't had a kid in our room! thanks stacy and rick!) 

we had our pictures taken on the beach. 

my favorite ever.

we visited seaside. sara pooped in her swimsuit. a couple times. thanks mom for potty training me. i appreciate it.

we saw crabs. lots. of. crabs.

we saw several fevers of stingrays. awesome.

sara and ryan built a "house" on the sand. they jumped from bed to bed.

wilson fell in love with balls.

we met the sweetest little boy! elias. sara was in love! she couldn't stop rubbing his head and calling him "sweet boy." 

now we are back. ryan started a bar review course. everyday. 4 hours. they ask you to prepare an extra 7 hours a day. who do they think we are ryan is?! 

we are putting together puzzles, taking walks and snacking on strawberries.
