The Beach...Day Five (Thursday)

The day started off cloudy, and then we had a little rain shower, but that didn't deter us from playing on the beach and at the pool all day.

Cooper exploring in the sand

He found some sticks to play with

Reagan played a little ball on the beach

Trying to talk Gigi into playing ball

The rains came, so we rinsed off at the shower

Reagan, the princess, and Greg, the prince, built a sand castle ~ she had a great time with pretend play...she said I was the witch (I eventually got her to agree that I was the queen) and Gigi was the snowman.

Family portrait on the beach

Collecting shells with Papaw

Building more sand castles

Relaxing in the sand

Sitting in the pool daddy made

Admiring her starfish we caught

Cooper throwing a terrible 2 tantrum a little early!

He laid down on the beach, pitching a fit and got sand all over his face

The starfish tickled her toes

Daddy and Cooper playing

To the pool..

What will she see underwater?

Cooper wanted to be like Reagan and have a snack break

Reagan went under water today ~ well, up to her mouth and nose anyway

We ate at The Old Oyster Factory for Dinner tonight

Reagan enjoys coloring before dinner

Sweet baby boy

finally, a picture of us all together on vacation

We got ice cream after dinner and after eating 1/2 of mine, Cooper ate some of papaw's...

Some of daddy's...

and some of Reagan's

Reagan had some of Gigi's ice cream after she finished her own












After several tries, this is the best family portrait of the night

The Beach...Day Four (Wednesday)

We started today's outing at the pool, then moved to the beach.

We had to buy Reagan a swim shirt because she was getting a little too much sun on her shoulders

Trying out the water Cooper's all ready to get in the pool

After a quick drink of juice that is!

He'd rather sit with papaw a bit longer

Reagan and Gigi had a good time just floating in the water

Let's go to the beach

Sorting shells

Wading in the water

Cooper found a starfish (shortly after this picture was taken, the starfish lost a leg...Cooper didn't know his own strength)

So much action wore Cooper out

You know he's out when the hand falls out of his mouth

Reagan made another friend at the beach

Taking a lunch break and watching a movie

She's such a cutie pie

We ate dinner in tonight...Cooper couldn't get enough of his pasta

I think he enjoyed it!

Reagan enjoyed her pasta too

Yum!

Daddy and Reagan

Time for an art project

She loves to paint

She really gets into her work ~ look at the paint on her face!

She painted magnets for mom & dad, gigi & papaw, mamaw & papaw, and Anah & Sera

The Beach...Day Three (Tuesday)

Today, we stayed at the pool all day. Only a few pictures (for me anyway). I put my camera down early and just enjoyed time with the family.

Cooper jumping into the pool with Daddy

SplashReagan has been very brave getting into the pool all by herself with her ring float

Just the boys

Gigi, Papaw and Cooper

More swimming

Reagan has easily made friends ~ she talks to everyone

So brave ~ Touching the bottom of the 3ft pool

Hanging on to the side

Dinner time at Aunt Chilada's

Silly kids
