As you can see, I took a ton of pictures at the beach. Mitchell does not appear in as many as I'd like...he was not a huge fan of the ocean...so I'd usually be holding him or playing with him...not taking pictures. So, once he was down for a nap, I tried to capture the action.
At the end of the week, there was this big sand lip. The boys loved it, they would run on it, slide over it...you name it...it kept them occupied for hours.
I love the subtle hug Connor is giving to his brother....
When we weren't out at the pool or beach, we spent our time here. In front of the CABLE, BIG SCREEN TV! You'd have thought we hadn't seen a tv before. The boys especially loved the Disney channel and the Cartoon Network. (Tom and Jerry - 1-2pm daily!)
To wrap up the week, the boys had a pillow fight with Austin and his friend Berto. (Not his real name, but the name Sawyer called him all week...)
I wanted to try to get a family picture...I got the boys matching shirts...Craig and I coordinated....all I wanted was for 6 faces to look at the camera at the same time. Yup, I don't live in reality!
Did I mention that Jackson had fallen asleep on the sofa...and we woke him to take the picture. Mistake...big mistake.
It just so happened that our last day at the beach was Connor's 6th birthday. So we celebrated at the ocean.
We got an ice cream cake from DQ.
Connor did not want us to sing...he was embarssed you know. I told him if he wanted to blow out candles, he had to let us sing!
Everyone helped to blow out the 6...can you believe it...candles.
(Check out Mitchell, he's not quite sure what's going on!)
Friday night at 9:45 we hopped in the car and headed home. It was a great weak. Lots of fun for all. It took us 7 hours to get home. We were beat, but it was all worth it!
P.S. Two more failed attempts at a family pic...
we did a little better here...
though I just noticed houw sour Sawyer looks...and Connor still has remnants of a black eye!
