Friday morning we woke up to a very slow moving storm that ate up most of our morning....the kids hung out watching PBS in GraGra and Papa's room and put GraGra to sleep. Thankfully around noon the weather cleared and we beat feet for the beach.
It was pretty empty!
We wrote our names in the sand...to ensure that we'd be back! That one is Colin...really.
And Gillian.
And Daddy's last hole of the week. I think he had grand plans.
Cool Bean.
Dragon squirter!
Daddy's masterpiece! I think it looks like a prison...
Finishing up our last day on the beach!
The kiddos took ANOTHER great nap (seriously, they slept every afternoon for at least 2 hours! Wish I could get that at home!) and then convinced Daddy to watch a movie with them. Daddy didn't last long.
I swear I had a picture of Daddy asleep...he really was out like a light!
Then we got all spiffed up for dinner out. Colin included his shades.
We had a delicious dinner at a place that was new to us. We decided on it because we could get a reservation! Not many places at the beach take reservations and we didn't want to wait an hour! So, we got our table, the place wasn't super full, but we still waited and waited for dinner. And despite his bread, Colin wasn't taking it super well. He kept asking and asking when his chicken fingers are COMING! Finally, out of desperation he spurts out, "It's JUST CRUNCH and FLUFF! That's it! They should BE HERE!" We all laughed, because, really, restaurant chicken fingers are just a crunch part and a fluff part! Funny boy!
After dinner, the kids used their last tickets on rides, Daddy bought me a pretty sea glass necklace souvenir, and we had our last ice cream at the Royal Treat (try the chocolate moose tracks!).
In the morning we were up, packed, and out of the house by 7:10! We stopped for breakfast in town and hit the road. We had a smooth, fast, and easy trip home in record time! Phew!
Fantastic week. We all had so much fun. And can't wait to get back!
