Marley loved being able to share her room with her cousin, Bailey. They are the same age and just love being together. Marley had a great time riding the waves in on her bright "floweredie" float. It was hard to get her out of the ocean to reapply sunscreen.
Carpenter loved sitting in the pools that Marley and Bailey dug out. He loved going out in the ocean the most! He would stay out there forever with his dad and the girls! Carpenter loved pushing his dump truck up and down the beach.
Sadie loved playing in the sand. She was a little scared of the waves because they kind of knocked her little body over. But she liked going out in the ocean with her dad. Sadie loved stealing every one's shoes!
Jon and I had a wonderful week! I can best describe it as "teamwork!" We would get the kids fed in the morning. (Jon got to sleep a little later. For some reason, Sadie wanted to get up before the sun rose!) Get everyone applied with sunscreen and put on cute bathing suits. Then pack everything onto the golfcart and have fun ride to the beach! Then we would enjoy the beach! Next stop, pack everything up onto the golfcart. I would give the kids a bath while Jon fixed their lunch. Then, the best part, Carpenter and Sadie falling asleep easily from exhaustion. Special thanks to Jon, Gran, Missy, Lee, Amy, and Pop-Pop who helped carry the rest of the toys we couldn't fit at the time! Then at night, different events to fill our busy week.
I loved being pregnant at the beach. They have such cute maternity swimsuits now!
Top Ten Greatest/Most Memorable Moments at the Beach 2007:
10. Sadie falling asleep in her lunch twice because she was so exhausted! She was soo worn out from pushing the dump truck up and down the beach.
9. Golf cart driving lessons! Marley and Bailey loved driving the golf cart up and down our street. Carpenter loved falling asleep in the golf cart late a night!
8. Riding the waves! Everyone loved being out in the ocean. I am a little bit of a scaredy cat, because I think about what is in the ocean. But Marley, Bailey, Jon, Lee, and Amy loved riding the waves and spending the afternoon out in the ocean.
7. Evan Almighty. Marley loved this movie. The whole family went except Jon, I, and the babies. We figured the babies wouldn't sit in the movie theater all nice. But they said Marley laughed throughout the entire movie. And everyone shared Uncle Lee's super buttery popcorn.
6. The Rides at Broadway at the Beach. Marley loved riding the rides with Bailey and Aunt Amy. Carpenter and Sadie loved riding the little baby rides. Even Gran got into the action, riding cars with Kyle.
5. Feeding the birds. Carpenter and Sadie loved throwing crackers for the birds to eat of the beach. They would chase them around the beach. Sadie would try her best to stalk the birds. Uncle Lee was able to throw the crackers right in the birds mouth.
4. Tan. Who has the best tan? Adults - Aunt Amy, of course, she keeps her tan all year round. Carpenter and Bailey tie for the best tan under the kids column. Most surprising tan goes to - Sadie! I thought she would get burnt but she tanned lovely. Redist tan - this one goes to my dear husband, Jon. He got toasted the first day. Side note: I always use SPF 50. To keep skin young and healthy looking!
3. Libby Lu's. This is a must if you have little girl's. As Gran and Pop-Pop's treat Aunt Missy and I took Bailey and Marley to Libby Lu's. They got their nails, make-up, and hair done! They totally loved it and can't wait to go back next year!
2. Uncle Lee. This is under the most memorable column. While on the beach, I was watching my children play when something slimy hit my leg. Uncle Lee did not see me behind him and hocked a twelve inch long loogie onto my right leg. I almost threw-up right there on the beach. It was so disgusting, and me being pregnant did not help the queasiness in my stomach. Jon quickly ran and got some water to wash it off my leg! Poor Amy, she has to live with him!
1. Spending time with family. I just loved seeing our family spend time together. We are so blessed that our family is able to come together on vacation every year. Pop-Pop, Gran, Missy, Bailey, Kyle, Lee, Amy, Jon, Marley, Carpenter, Sadie, and I all being able to share each other's company.
Special Thank - You to Pop-Pop and Gran Long for this wonderful beach trip!
