The Beach 2012 – Mardi Gras!

We celebrated Fat Tuesday at the beach!  I took down some craft supplies with us because in the past we’ve not had the best beach weather AND so we could make these awesome Mardi Gras masks!  We also packed up the harmonica and egg shakers and Papa had his bongo!

The boys spent ALOT of time building forts and force-fields on the beach and digging holes to China!

The Beach 2012 – The Arrival

We had an AMAZING trip to the beach!  We had perfect weather and were able to swim in the ocean, and the pool.  Our days looked like this:  breakfast, beach, TV time, pool, lunch, naps, beach, pool, dinner, bed.  Everyone took HUGE naps and went to bed easily every night, completely worn out from the day!  It was bliss!

The drive down was easy, the boys were wonderful.  And as soon as we got there, the boys hit the beach with grandma and papa while momma and daddy unpacked the car.
