Snapshots of Vacation: Day 4

 On Tuesday, we started off our day with baths. 

 After everyone was ready, we headed to check out the Wright Memorial.  And I know that you won't believe this, but I actually took real pictures with my camera.  Those will be posted in a separate post. 

 Love his cheese smile. 

 A classic picture of Papa.  Always checking out the map. 

 After lunch, these two enjoyed crunching on some ice.  Tater's Trish would be so proud. 

 Afternoon naps are always the best when you take them while sideways in your bed. 

 After naps, while most everyone else was swimming, I spent some time relaxing in the hammock.

 Before long, my best friend joined me. 

 I asked him to take a picture with me and this is what I got. 

 Much better.

 Tater was enjoying his time in the pool. 

His awesome mohawk. 

After the pool, the kids spent some time playing while the boys grilled our supper. 

 After dinner, Tater found some new shoes.  What do you think? 

We spent some time relaxing on the deck. 

 And ended our night with some yummy ice cream from Logans.  Yum, yum!

Yesterday, on our third day of vacation, Tater started the morning off with a game of tag with Papa. 

 

 Angela, Allen, and Ayla went and got us Duck Donuts.  Yum!  

 

Before long, we were packing up our beach gear and heading to play in the waves, sand, and sun. 

Tater and Ayla had the best ride to the beach. 

He LOVED the beach and had a blast running from the waves.  He was drenched from head to toe by the time we left to head home. 

We came home, ate lunch, and took our afternoon naps.  The big boys headed to play golf.  The beach must have worn Tater out because he slept for three hours.  When he woke up, Ayla wanted to cuddle with him, but he wasn't too happy with that. 

Tater loved writing with Nana at Outback that night for supper. 

We spent some time relaxing on the deck after supper. 

He was loving his kisses from Aunt Angela.

We made a quick trip to the beach before bed.

Loving this relaxing vacation.

Our second day of vacation started with pool time.  

 I love being able to get up, eat breakfast, and then head to the pool. 

 Tater was loving Uncle Allen tossing him up in the air.  This was my first attempt at a picture.  :) 

 Much better.
"Higher, Uncle Allen, higher!" 

 After lunch and an afternoon nap, we headed back to the pool again.  Dave got here and Tater was excited to finally have his daddy here with him on vacation.

 Ayla loves walking on the seat along the side of the pool. 

 Unfortunately, a storm headed our way and we had to clear out of the pool.  We enjoyed some time in the hammock before heading inside. 

We attempted to get a picture, but well, that was easier said than done with two squirmy toddlers.  :)  These were the best ones.

 Papa spent some time in the hammock, too, while Tater rode his bike. 

 After a super yummy meal of grilled barbeque chicken, vegetables, and watermelon, we shared some ice cream.  Tater was too busy watching the Olympic trials to look at the camera for the picture. 

 Before Tater headed to bed, he and Nana watched a little bit of a the Fox and the Hound, one of his favorite movies. 

After Tater went to bed, Dave and I went for a walk on the beach and saw a ton of crabs.  I just knew that I was going to step on one and get my toe pinched.  

We got back and relaxed in the hot tub.  The perfect way to end the night.  

What a great second day of vacation. 

Snapshots of Vacation: Day 1

I know that I am WAY behind in updating, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and post the cell phone pictures from our vacation.  

Yesterday, Nana, Papa, Angela, Allen, and Ayla got to our house a little after 9 and before long, we were in the car on the way to the beach!  

Our first stop was Sonic for a potty break and some lunch.  Ayla had a great time walking Mitzi and we all enjoyed some time out of the car.  

 After a full belly of hot dog, fries, and a slush, this little guy took a nap for a little while as we drove to our rental house.  

 The view from my room!  :)  

 It didn't take long before Tater and Nana tried out the pool at the house.  

 Ayla woke up while they were swimming and came down the pool.  She got in the water, even though she didn't have her bathing suit on, and as you can tell, her diaper can hold a ton of pool water.  

 After an afternoon nap, we had subs for dinner and made a trip to the grocery store.  

 When we got back, Tater took a walk to the beach with Papa and Nana.  

Love the memories that have already been made and looking forward to making more this week.
