Hello friends! Blogging has been taking a backseat lately and I've been away too long. I love the way that blogging makes me stay current with our trips and other memories though so that while my children won't have a beautiful, detailed scrapbook to look back on they'll at least have this! (And the books I print from it!)
We spent last week in Seagrove, Florida with my dad, stepmom, brother and his girlfriend. It was absolutely beautiful (after the first two days) and the perfect time to go to the beach!
We drove down in rain and had rain when we got there. When it let up a little my dad was sweet enough to take Miller to look for crabs in the drizzle. Sweet La La let Miller borrow her rain jacket.
Dinner at Great Southern in Seaside. It was wonderful and I highly recommend it!
This toy was well worth the space it took up in the car!
A casual night out in Seaside. It was perfect for the little ones.
You may start noticing a trend. I love this little boy in bubbles. They make my heart pitter-patter.
Can you hear Jacob saying, "Cheeeeese!"
Miller's first go-cart ride!
I think he liked it ;)
Sweetest daddy ever.
Poppy and his boys!
One morning when the big guys went to play golf, Cissy and I thought it might be fun to go bike riding through Seaside. It turned out to be a pretty disastrous day, but still fun!
Disaster #1: Waiting almost 2 hours for a baby trailer from a place only a block away.
Disaster #2: Immediately after getting the baby trailer and starting the ride to Seaside, a tire on the trailer popped. It made for a good workout for mommy riding on a flat tire! The bike company was pretty quick to bring me a new one, but (Disaster #3) this meant moving Jacob who had fallen asleep for about ten minutes and thereby waking him up (and he never slept again the rest of the day).
After these first three disasters, we were having a great time!
Miller decided to cool off in the "waterfall".
We had a good run of about an hour ride, a delicious lunch outside, and another thirty minutes of riding before Disaster #4: Miller's bike pedal broke off of his bike. Thankfully we had room for two in the baby trailer, although Miller wasn't too excited when I insisted we leave his bike and come back for it later.
We ended the day with well-deserved chocolate shakes followed by mommy-alone-time on the beach.
It was tough to come back to reality after such a fun week! Thanks for everything, Poppy & Cissy!
