We waited for months, and months, and then weeks, and days....Cason had a count down calender...and if he saw a picture of a beach he was like, "I'm going there!" So it finally came! YEAH! We were able to spend several days at a beach house in Surfside, TX, courtesy of James' grandparents. James' grandparents get a beachhouse every other year and the whole family goes and stays a week. We actually only stayed 3 nights, and 4 days. It was perfect. Our little people would have never lasted an entire week...they were absolutely exhausted by the time we went home.
Cason really didn't care much for the ocean, just like 2 years ago, but he loved being there, and playing in the sand, and getting carried into the water was fine. He had so much fun. The second day, we were in the water and it got in his face and in the sweetest voice he said, "I wish I had some schwim glasses." So, Minnie got him some during nap time and he was able to wear his "googles" that afternoon. Cason and Minnie spent alot of time building sandcastles and playing in the muddy sand, and playing with bubble wands (the best $2.00 I ever spent).
Carter, of course, was a whole different story. Those of you who know the boys won't be surprised at the fact that Carter RAN as fast as his little legs could go all the way to the water, giggling, and growling all the way. He was absolutely hillarious. He was so much fun to watch...he hardly ever sat still. He ran back and forth, in and out of the water. He did stop every once in a while to play in the sand. Again, the difference in the boys personalities came out. Cason "cleanly" played in the sand while Carter threw it all over himself and tasted it numerous times....something Cason NEVER did-not even at Carter's age. He fell face first in the ocean, got up, dusted himself off, and kept running. But what is it about kids that can get all kinds of wet while playing in the ocean or the pool and then you try to wash their hair in the bath and the scream their heads off? I really don't get that.
I had the most fun watching them play and have new experiences, and making new memories. I absolutely love watching my kids have fun and experience new things!
Enjoy the pictures!
