So just in case you are not one of the fortunate ones to have seen some of Megan's 591 pictures from our week at the beach on Facebook.....here's a 10% look at our fun! Megan's camera broke at the beginning of the week so she used mine for the most part. I came home with waaaaay too many pictures to pick from. I tried to hit some of the highlights:
The yearly pyramid....Chase and Taylor were supposed to be on top but I thought better of that and stuck them on the sides! This was the whole crew, minus grandma the photographer, and you can only see part of grandpa!
Bikini babe.
Chase had much more fun in the waves this year.
What a trio.
The obligatory round of putt-putt.
It was a hard choice, but Chase settled on the dinosaur course. Taylor wants to know "why they don't have girl ones"....good question. Maybe we should move to the beach and open Princess Putt-Putt?
Our putt-putt gang - sorry for the people stuck behind us :)
I dare someone to try to make her move. The sign wasn't stopping her.
A little love.
Even Taylor liked the water more this time.
Not so much that her feet would actually want to touch the ground, but still more!
Chase loved playing with his cousins. He looks forward to seeing them each year.
One of many photo ops with the girls.
Looking for alligators.
Waiting for dinner!
One of the silly faces.
Happy daddy's girl.
(I think grandpa is thinking "son, you've got 18+ years of daddy's girl to go!")
Chase's mother didn't pack his flip-flops for the beach. Hardly believable. So he bought new ones and wore them, um, never. Momma knows best. (He can't handle the thing between his toes.)
Girl time.
If anyone wants to get Chase an ipad they will forever be his hero.
Digging a hole.
He must have opened his mouth one too many times.
Sibling love.
Taylor invited Kerry to "swim in her pool".
Putting on the life jacket on the off chance her toes touch the water!
Hanging out with JoJo.
Chocolate cake for dinner. Nothing better.
Serious ipad addiction. She was not going to get it from him!
Camp Caddell. Dave and his dad hit the beach just past sunrise each morning to secure our spot on the sand. Notice the chairs lining the perimeter. Don't mess with our space.
Sporting the shades.
Hanging out with Jackie. Taylor was a big fan!
A little too big for the baby pool!
We went to Dick's one night for dinner. Hard to explain in a short sentence, but let's just say we won't go back there until the kids are 18! The waitress asked if they could read before she made our hats! It was a hoot and the kids thought it was hilarious, just thank goodness they didn't get the humor!!
Oddly appropriate! Just kidding princess!
The family photo.
Found a carousel.
Even Taylor took a ride.
Also found a funny mirror!
Back on the beach!
A friendly moment between games. I dominated him.
In the lazy river.
Chase loved floating around.
It was a favorite spot of the week!
Taylor with Megan and "Tarl" or Carl as the rest of us call him!
Hard to tell, but they collapsed my chair. It was quite a load!
Enjoying a little afternoon beverage!
The banana boat ride gang + Chase. He thought it was cool...from the shore!
Flying high.
Chase and his buddy.
The yearly pose a la Megan.
Chase's turn.
Letting Shawn bury him....a little.
Chase and his buddy Carl.
Packing up!
Ready to go!! Luckily he decided to stay with me for a little longer.
One day he'll be begging to get in their car and leave me behind!
