Beachin' it.

Our first trip to the beach this summer was a BLAST! We always try to plan a beach trip around Auntie Gail & Uncle Paul's vacation.... it was easy to do this year since they were there for two weeks.

Mackenzie took to Uncle Paul right away......

We arrived early enough on Friday to get in a little beach time. Carter and Pep didn't waste any time getting wet.

Mackenzie enjoyed putting her feet in the sand for the first time.

After a fantastic Italian dinner made by Trish - we headed back to our hotel. What a great set up we had at The Beau (thanks Dad). Carter was pooped.... so tired he didn't give us any grief that we left NayNay at home. Hopefully, we no longer have to drag him along when we travel. Heck, I'd have to guess he isn't even needed in his bed at home any longer. Of course, we will never be able to travel any where with out BearBear & Crocodile (or his special blankets and pillow).

Saturday started off with a little golf cart ride for Carter & Pep!!

Then we headed to the beach!! Jason, Melissa, Madison & Janae joined us on for a fun filled day! All kids got to skip their naps -- surprisingly enough, they were having so much fun it didn't even phase them. Carter was smitten with Madison - so much so he wouldn't leave her side... poor girl. Everyone came back to our hotel and enjoyed beer and pizza for dinner!

Mackenzie enjoying her lunch on the beach with Dad & I. So special.

Auntie Tammy, Sam & Jag joined us on the beach both Saturday & Sunday for a couple of hours. It was so great to see them. I can't believe how big they have gotten.

Chris (one of their friends), Jagger & Samantha!

Mem & Tammy relaxing!

Escaping the birds....

Carter is still talking about how much fun we had.... it won't be long before we go back!!
