A Week at the Beach

I am on a role! I just thought I would knock all of this out at once so I don't forget. Well, last week was our annual girl's week at the beach. Every summer Jeff's mom, my sister-in-law, Laura and her two boys, Nolan and Carter and myself head to the beach for a week (Unfortunately Katie and Granmama weren't able to stay the week). The boys come on the weekend and we all have a great time! This year was a little different than last. Last year Henry slept everytime we tried to take him out on the beach, this year we couldn't get him to go to sleep! His FAVORITE things this week: push his dump truck up and down the beach (this is ALL he did- so you guessed it, all WE did was chase him), name all the things in the sky- balloon (what he called people parasailing) planes, and kites, climb in and out of holes, and find big shells to dig with. We swam in the pool a lot towards the end of the week and even made a trip to the bookstore and played on the indoor playground at the mall- which is always a hit! It was so nice to catch up with Laura and watch Henry interact with his cousins! Thank you Mimi for a great week at the beach! We look forward to next year!

By the way our floors looked great when we got home, and all the kids loved them today, and surprising enough they are still intact.
