Beach Blast 2011 ~ Day 1

Thanks to Timothy for naming our trip. He actually named it "We're Having a Blast at the Beach", but I shortened it to "Beach Blast 2011" for sake of time and space. Good collaboration, Son! :)

Here are today's highlights . . .

*Tim's youngest brother, Will, has 2 precious children. Brodie will be 3 at the end of the month and Reese just turned 1.  They live in Daphne, Al and we don't get to see them much.  We decided to stop by for a visit. The boys were so excited to see their cousins!!

*From the moment we hit the Beach Expressway, the boys sang ORIGINAL beach songs.  They were making them up off the top of their heads and sang, in various keys and arrangements, until we parked and got out of the car. It was hilarious. I really wish I had recorded them.  Can we say PUMPED UP?!?

*TANNER DOES NOT LIKE THE BEACH.  We started walking barefoot in the sand. . . and he did not like it.  We walked down to the water . . . and he did not like it.  We put him down so water could wash up on his feet. . . and he did not like it.  We washed our feet and hands off under the sprayers before coming back inside . . . and he did not like it. 

 

 He came back to the room and began playing with his trains, taking everything out of beach bags, eating Wheat Thins, unfolding all the beach towels . . . and was happy again.

REALLY???  Oh well, there's always tomorrow . . .

And yep, someone's bedtime is definitely on vacation!!
