Day 3 and so on


On the third day the water continued to be just as clear as the first.  Just perfect.  Daddy arrived around lunch and we were thrilled to see him.  He had just finished an overnight shift then drove four hours down to the beach...his afternoon nap was the same length as Isaac's.  Four hours. :)


Now we are getting into the part of the post where the days are jumbled and pictures aren't all from Day 3.  Prepare yourself, there may be a lot of them.


A certain someone was beyond happy that Daddy had arrived...


Can you tell?



Little buddy continued to warm up to his environment throughout the week and enjoyed picking up sand and throwing it into the water.








There was lots of fun daddy/son time in the ocean as we knew there would be...






And mommy even made a few pictures thanks to DD...



Got to love the "post pregnancy hand on your hip skinny arm" picture.  Oh, you didn't know there was a name for that?  Well, there is.







That evening we all went out to eat again.  When at the beach do as the beachers do (or something like that) and not to mention we all LOVE seafood!  Including this guy.  Well, that and grilled cheese sandwiches...




After our early dinner we participated in one of my husband's most favorite past times!  Taking pictures on the  beach of course!  I know you can't read the sarcasm in my writing but trust me, it's there.  If you asked Steven what he would rather do...watch a full episode of the Bachelorette or take sunset pictures on the beach with his family he would seriously have a time contemplating.  Both things he loathes with a passion.  But I assured him we didn't have to wear white and khaki and that seemed to make things a little better.  A little.

So without further ado here are a few evening beach pics.  We took a zillion but I'm only putting one up of our little family...due to my post pregnancy body that the skinny arm hip pose did nothing for, kids looking every which way, and Steven's hair flying about with the wind we only got one good one.

But at least there's one, right.



Right before we took this I told Steven to sit down in the sand for our picture.  I think his exact words were, "gay" and "do we have to?"  (No offense to all my gay friends out there!  Not that there's anything wrong with that.......please tell me you've seen that Seinfeld episode??)

Any who, we continued on with more pictures throughout the evening...




The following pictures crack me up.  It's always difficult trying to get a good picture with two babies in tow as one doesn't cooperate while the other likes to snack on a dress.







Sweet girl.






Pop Pop and Isaac's sandcastle was even still standing from the day before!






Well, it looks like I better run folks.  Someone is coaxing me into the sand castle for a shovel date.




If you've stayed with our little beach adventure this long, bless you.  I sure didn't know I would have so many pictures and this is only a fraction of them.

Thanks for a WONDERFUL beach trip Pop Pop, CoCo, and DD!  We enjoyed every minute!

Now back to reality... :)

I keep up with your blog through Rachel N.'s blog... and I just had to comment that your skinny arm pose had me dying. I had my second on June 7th, so I TOTALLY get it! LOL. We also have a 2.5 year old, so I can imagine how busy you were during your trip to the beach! But you look great, from one recently preggo to another!
