Beach Bums

We went to the beach a few weeks ago. The first night we were there we took a walk on the beach.

On the way home, we happened across this guy. Scary!

We took bike rides every day. Jackson got a bike for his birthday a few days previous. Jonathan hated the helmet because it slid down over his eyes.

He gave up and fell asleep!

Mommy and Jonathan. We found that one of us needed to hold him so he wouldn't eat sand. The other parent played with Jackson. We started coming to the beach at naptime so Jonathan could sleep.

Jackson had a blast playing in the sand.

Daddy being funny.

Jonathan's face was irritated from sand and sunscreen. Poor guy!

Jackson was upset not to get to swim more. Each day the temperature was in the 70's. So, it was warm but not really warm enough to swim. He was bound and determined. He jumped in with his clothes on and didn't seem to mind the cold.

We stayed in a house where we cooked every night. However, this night we ordered out pizza!

We took Jonathan's portable seat one day to keep him from eating the sand but able to hang out with us.

Jonathan, wearing his helmet. He looks happy here, but he was not to thrilled to have to wear the helmet.

Daddy and "Little J." This was our first vacation as just our family. We had a great time.

We are so grateful for our boys. We feel so blessed. Our hearts are softening to accept changes God has been trying to make for years. We are so glad He never gives up on us!
