First Day at the Beach

-


On Saturday, the first day of our vacation - we took the boys out to the beach for the first time.  When we got out side we saw hundreds of jelly fish, both on the shore and in the water.  I spent the first hour taking the boys big shovel and making a big pile of jelly fish.  It was a lot more fun than it sounds. Once the beach was clear(er) we let the boys play.






 Will loved the beach.  I expected him to hate the sand, the salt water and the waves - but he didn't.  He spent most of his day trying to run into the water.  He really liked walking in the surf.  He even didn't mind when the waves splashed him in the face.



Uncle David buried Sam in the sand.






 The boys also body surfed for the first time.







At around 11:00, we took the boys inside for lunch and a nap.  Will took three hour naps every day.



After his bath, I took Will's picture with my big camera.  It was his first experience with my flash - and it scared him.



After naps we took the boys down to the pool while David and Sharon cooks dinner for everyone.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

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.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
