Vacation continued...


After getting in late on Saturday night, we had planned to catch up on some much needed sleep.....the kids, however, had a different plan! Owen woke up bright and early with lots of energy, so we got the day started with some breakfast and then hit the pool. The kids swam for a few hours and then took an early nap so we could get in some beach time that afternoon.

My boys...

I was worried about how Owen would do with the sand, because he hates to be dirty or have anything on his hands.....but he actually did pretty good. He definitely wanted us to clean his hands off periodically, but that didn't stop him from diggin' in!

After the first day on the beach, we quickly realized that we need additional beach toys to keep the kids entertained....otherwise we were going to spend the whole day in the ocean! We found these cute little backpacks that were filled will all the beach necessities and the kids loved them!

Owen was all about wearing his backpack....

Lovin' on Mackenzie...
The beach/ocean had lots of seaweed the first couple of days, but the kids didn't seem to mind too much. I really think it bothered the moms more than the kids! Owen didn't like it to touch his legs and wanted us to get if off of him, but it didn't stop him from wanting to be in the water at all times. Every time Josh or I would sit down, he would run up to us saying he wanted to get in the "big swimming pool" aka...the ocean!

The kids really liked for us to dig holes big enough for them to play in.....
