So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Good Bye!

Well... we made it to the last day on the beach.  Sniff sniff.  I'm already excited for next time!  



Sandy toes...




This was the sweetest picture!  Shaun noticed how often Kate and I went out to the ocean hand in hand... and he snapped a picture for me.  Love that man!


Old Man out body surfing...



The boys and their sandcastle... don't worry... they had some help!


Kate was so good to take a nap for me everyday on the beach.  She just snuggled up in my lap (or in this case Grandma's) and just zonked for a good two hours.  Love my babies!!  They are/have been the BEST nappers ever!


So these next pictures might be disturbing... or funny... depending on your point of view.  Ryan may well use these to show his therapist in the coming years.  But to me- they just show you what a... unique individual my baby is.  It was the last day and Ryan hadn't been out on the boogie board yet.  And I was determined that he at least get out in the water once.  Thankfully... I conspired with grandpa and he agreed.  Good thing he's stronger and more determined than Ryan- otherwise, I don't think it would have happened.

But when gentle coaxing wouldn't work... Grandpa just picked him up and headed out.

Kicking and screaming the entire way.





Even after it was all said and done... Ryan let us know his displeasure...

But grandpa just took it all in stride.  

Too bad Kate didn't run fast enough when she found out it was her turn...






Her face didn't change much from the time she got onto the boogie board to the time she got off... But she didn't go near grandpa again until we left the beach.

Love me the sun...

Ryan was plumb exhausted...


Thanks for the fun times on the beach grandma and grandpa!






Thanks for putting up with sand in your butt Shaun.  We love you so much!

Hope it NEVER ends. We love the beach, the memories, and our kids with us. Vacations mean everything when your children are with you. Love it. Thanks for putting up with the crazy places we eat, the sand, the shopping, the beach, and your dads driving. We love you all.!
