Family Vacation - DAY FOUR (6/4/2009)

Today is Jacob's 5th Birthday! Happy Birthday Bubba! We love ya'!
(We'll celebrate officially when we get home though.)

Our day began with slathering the kiddos up with a TON of sunscreen - 70 SPF no less. We are headed to the BEACH!!! YEAH!!! Our kids have NEVER seen the ocean before this trip and are so excited to go to the beach, play in the ocean, build sandcastles, and search for seashells.

So, off to the beach we go.

Oceanside Beach

Ragan and the boys

Lainie just chillin'!

She HATED the sand. The second we set her on this towel she started to crawl off - that is until her hand touched the sand and then she started screaming and crying. It was pretty funny, once I got her calmed down which only happened when I got the sand brushed off her. She did really good except when the towels would shift and she would see sand next to her and then she would start crying again. Glad she's not spoiled huh?!!!

Jacob getting buried and loving it!

Logan "building his sandcastle."
It was more like digging around in the sand.
Still cute though!

Nash building his sand castle.
This is as far as he got before he got too busy looking for seashells.

My Guys! I just Love 'em!!!

After we spent 3 hours at the beach, which we thought would only be 1 hour, we headed back to the hotel to get cleaned up and rest. Lainie fell asleep in one of the towels, I was getting burned (stupid me didn't put any sunscreen on), and Jacob and Logan were starting to turn a little pink. It was a fun day at the beach - we found a lot of seashells - built part of a sandcastle - I think we got everything done on the boys "beach wishlist".

This is the end of our Family Vacation posts. We got packed up and drove home the next morning. We had a blast and made a lot of memories!!! You know it is a GREAT vacation when the kids are all asleep within an hour of leaving the hotel - we wore 'em out!

Thanks Ragan for spoiling us with such a great trip and a great place to stay! It was awesome. Thanks Honey!!!!
