Beach Trip

Greetings! We are back from our wonderful beach vacation to Amelia Island. This year we went with our great friends the Browning family. Early Saturday morning we packed up two cars and three kids and off we went. We rented a little house just across the street from the ocean with a cute little room with twin beds for Jake and Matty. The boys loved sharing a room and were very entertaining to listen to over the monitor. They would whisper at each other and the first morning contemplated whether they should "go get the mommies."


The first couple days passed uneventfully and then Tuesday hit. Leslie and I had made a habit out of going down to the beach during naptime and my sweet husband would bring us nice cold drinks. Well, Tuesday he said take all the time you want the AC has gone out. Ugh. He wasn't kidding. We decided to brave the heat versus going to a hotel. The boys took baths in their diapers outside with the hose. It may be redneck but they were cool! Not the best night ever but we got through it...it's almost a funny memory...almost.


By the end of the week Jake was loving the beach. Matty would sit and play in the sand and Jake would run up and down the beach with Brian. It was so fun to watch.




Thanks to the Brownings for going with us! It would not have been the same without you! Jake has been missing Matty since we got back!
