Our Fun Times

Ok, I promised a few more pictures of our fun time at the beach.  I thought I better get these posted because school starts tomorrow.  Yikes!  I am still on "Turtle Time".  A term used frequently at BHI.

Up First.....

Is my guy.  He is hanging out on the beach until he sees......

a crab.  He grabs the green bucket and literally chases a crab down the beach.  We were all laughing and the kids were screaming "Get it Daddy."

He got it!

The kids loved it.  Bailey wanted to keep it for a pet.  We did the right thing and let it go.

Next up is...

Tye Dye T-Shirts.  We had our first experience of tye dye.  I am not sure if I would want to try this at home but it was fun.  The pool has a craft for the kids every day.  Tye Dye is scheduled for every Thursday.  Bailey enjoyed picking out the colors but did not want anything to do with getting her hands dirty.  We decided the next week we would make the cousins all a t-shirt.  Bailey surprised me and did the dipping and everything.  Of course with gloves.  I got these pictures the first time but did not have my camera the second time.  I know...what was I thinking when I left the house without the camera.

Next....

the kids having lots of fun on the beach.

Keenan needed a snack after all that work.  He was all about the snack and his beach chair.

It truly was a wonderful trip.  It brought so much joy to just be with my kids and hubby and no other distractions.  The big decisions were what time are we going to the beach and what kind of ice cream do we want.  It was very refreshing.

I am not quite ready to kick off my flip flops but school starts in the morning.  I better get to bed.  I hope everyone has a blessed day.

A few smiles

Wow, 2 weeks of no cell phone and internet connection!!!  It can do wonders.  We just had 2 amazing weeks of nothing but family time and relaxation.  I can't wait to share more pictures with you.  Pictures of Bailey designing her first tye dye (tye tye as Keenan calls it) shirt, Keenan relaxing in his beach chair and Scott catching a crab will be on the list to share.  For right now, I am going to post these black and white ones.  Yes, B&W....my favorite!

We went to an oyster roast while we were at the beach.  So while Scott was enjoying the steamed oysters, I shot some pictures of the kids running around in a grassy area.  I had fun taking the pictures but later regretted that I did not chow down on the oysters.  I do love steamed oysters.  Crack it open, slide it on a cracker and put some cocktail sauce.  Yum.  I wished I had gotten some pictures of the setup.  They had large wooden tables that they shoveled the oysters on to.  No plates or anything.  You just ate right off the table.  However, I was a little shy about taking pictures of people I did not know.  It was a fun night.  

Glad to be home.
