The beach!

We took our annual trip down to Florida with Grandma and Papa for a week.  The weather wasn’t awesome but we still had a great trip!  The best thing about the boys, they don’t know that it is supposed to be warm and sunny at the beach.  But they’ve got miles of beach to run on and dig in so they were happy clams!  Oh and we had a heated pool to swim in too!  With as good as everyone napped/slept, I’m seriously considering moving to the beach!

Right when we arrived we headed straight to the beach!

Finn set up grandma bear so she could watch him play on the beach with grandma!  I mean seriously how cute is this?

A walk around John’s Pass: turtle, tiki, pirate ship and some hot cocoa!

Ready to swim!  He would NOT take these goggles off and he really wasn’t even headed to go swimming when he put them on!

Swimming!  I have learned that I’m not going to be able to take three children to the pool by myself this summer because Riley does NOT understand that someone needs to hold him and that he can’t just jump into the water without someone there to catch him.  He brings new meaning to the phrase “no fear”.

We did have one PERFECT beach day!

Todd and I got a date night, early bird style!  We literally went to dinner at 5pm!  But we also got to see a movie and were home by 930!  ha!  Todd thought it would be hilarious to take my pic (at 34 weeks!) with the giant pelican.  Whose belly is bigger?

And birds!  Lots and lots of birds!

We spent every day digging in the sand.  One day we dug a hole to China.  And yes, most days Finn played on the beach in his pajamas.  Don’t judge, you’re just jealous.  ;)

One very rainy day we rented a movie, Marmaduke, and snuggled up inside.

And the boys first ever adventure mini-golfing….around a pirate ship!!!  Grandma was the big winner, she had like 3 hole in ones!  She might have had more if Riley had not had a major meltdown on the 15th hole.

Even packing up to go home was FUN with a ride on the luggage cart!
