Day 2

Day 2: 

On our second day at the beach there were no jellyfish so we took the boys into the deeper part of the water.  Sam and Finn both liked to jump the waves.  At one point Finn and I "wrestled" the waves.  Finn would call out a "move" and we would perform it as the wave crested.



After the beach we let Will float around in the pool. 





Later than evening we took the boys to the race track.  During our first race, Finn and I raced Michael and Sam and David and Henry.  Then Sam and I dueled Finn in the floating water squirter game.  Then we went inside played the arcade games. Next we went to McGuires for hamburgers.  McGuires is our favorite place in Destin to eat.  Will didn't do so good, so I ended up leaving a few minutes early to take him home.

Once we got back to the Condo we grabbed the flashlights that we brought and Michael and I took Finn and Sam down to the beach to look for crabs.  The sand was freezing cold, but the four of us had a great time together!


This is a picture of Begley Castle.  Gran spent all day making with the boys.  At night it looks like a sunken ship.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.
