There’s nothing better than being on vacation and watching your children just have a wonderful time. Playing on the beach means running, swimming, laughing, treasure hunting, digging, building, chasing Seagulls, growing and so much more. We love going to the beach!… so here are a few of the pictures that we took during the week.
Here Davy and Connor are walking from the condo over to the boardwalk that leads out onto the beach…
There are over 100 sea turtle nests on the island and there are 4 rare green sea turtle nests. We were hoping that we would have enough energy to get up around midnight and take the older boys out to see if we could see any eggs hatching…but we were to tired after long fun days of playing…next summer!
Davy, Colin, and Connor loved riding their Boogie Boards! They rode them for hours. The only problem that we had was after riding the waves onto shore they were to far down the beach and we would have to call them back…
I couldn’t help but take a picture of this perfect beach dog. Every morning that we were out we saw it lazily walk the beach with its owners. For a dog, it can’t get much better than this…
Davy and Connor were making sand angels…
The kids loved having the wagons on the beach. Davy and Connor were always wanting to help us pull the wagons, but in the loose sand with the babies in them they were kind of heavy, so this way they all got to climb in and out and take turns dragging it around…
After each trip to the beach we found it to be easiest if once we got to the condo they stripped down, were hosed off, and then headed inside “mostly” sand free…
Ahhh, how could watching six kids at the beach not be fun!!!!…..
Most of time when you head down to the beach at night it is really windy, so knowing this Kelly went out and bought a bunch of kites for our vacation. We went out two different nights to fly kites, the first night the breeze was slight and there were a lot of gnats so we went in early and then the second night it was perfect. Davy, Colin, and Connor each had their own kite and then Emma and Matty shared one. The kids just had a ball running up and down the beach watching the kites soar into the sky. Davy kept saying that he wanted his to go higher and higher and Matty kept asking to hold and try. We only had to untangle the lines a few times. The weather was nice and we also got to watch a beautiful sunset. Life is good.
Mountains! Beach! or Both!...
