Back from the beach

From our deck

Happy Birthday to Pawpaw. For his 70th birthday, the clan descended upon Destin Beach to play at this beach house (middle house with chimney on the left)

Sand castles were made

Sand castles were destroyed

Popsicles were eaten for breakfast

Waves were conquered

Nana proved her strength lifting a wet 40lb child

White boys could jump

Fun was had with the cousins

Lily smiled

and Zane ate his weight in sand.

WHY does he do that.

This is how we slept, Lily on the left, Zane on the right, me at the end

and how technology either ruins or improves vacations. Your choice.

It was a quick 5 days but lots of fun, the kids have been sleeping ever since we got home and the laundry is almost finished. Happy Birthday PawPaw!

It's SO HOT

We are like burnt bumps on a log. This is about the only fun we get out during the day and do...and it's in our backyard where we can run back inside and cool off.

Even the water that comes out of the hose is warm. ewwww.

Yes they're naked!

Gymnastics

The kids are still in gymnastics and still LOVE it!

The goodnight game

Zane and Lily love to play the goodnight game. They take turns putting each other to bed, complete with tucking in and singing each other a song. They do not like mommy to participate in this game and as you will hear, I am instructed to remain on the couch.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time

Lily (with shirt tucked into underwear) gets out the PB & J

And Zane (pants-less) sits back to enjoy the meal she prepares.
