Beach Trip 2011 - Update 2

One of my favorite family pictures of us :)
 I was kind of thinking before our trip that we would be spending most of our time at the pool.  Well - that was NOT the case.  The kids LOOOOOVED the beach.  (By "the kids" I mean the boys - KK didn't like to get TOO dirty..)  For the boys, the more sand that filled the diaper, the better! 
 This little man had NO fear of ANYTHING!  Including the jelly fish that washed to shore a few of the days!
 I promise Aunt Nit Ney is wearing clothes.....
 Nitney and Kayley
 Chris and Aunt Ashley relaxing - nice coozie, Chris!
 Uncle JoJo only stayed the first few days but he was the best hole digger of the week!
 Our resort had a playground on it!  GREAT idea!


 Parker loved being buried in the sand!
 I think Miller would have eaten Parker if we didn't keep feeding him!  

This was taken on Monday - Memorial Day - so the beach was PACKED!  On Tuesday - the beach seemed almost deserted compared to Monday!
 We went out to eat Monday night to LuLu's - a restaurant just across the street from our condo.  Parker spent most of his time in the little bumper car and then going outside to watch the CVS truck pull in the parking lot - IT was VERY exciting, y'all!  You would have thought the world was ending!

Most mornings started around 7 am with Parker and KK jumping on all the beds and watching Mickey Mouse Club House!



KK holding the coveted SPOON.  Parker found it in the sand one afternoon and it turned out to be the FAVORITE toy of the week!
He may have swallowed a little too much salt water!  Good gracious - could those eyes be any more beautiful?
Love having a little man to cover up the pregnant momma!

The muddier - the better!

The A family!
All the kids LOVED trying on Aunt Ashley's hats!
On the nights that we cooked, we threw the kids on the couch and let Disney entertain them! 
 We absolutely LOVED our condo.  We were literally less than 30 yards from the beach and the views were FANtastic!  Here is the one of the views from the family room.
 And the view from our balcony.

 I woke up two of the mornings to watch the sunset.  One of the mornings, Parker woke up with me and it was SO cute watching him witness his first sunrise at the beach!  I explained to him that the big sun that he sees high in the sky every day starts out low and then rises up!  He was really intrigued  and he kept saying, "Here Comes, Mama!  Here Comes!" 
"Here comes, Mama!"




 I bet our wonderful Creator had a FUN time creating this part of the universe!  Our God is truly amazing.
