So in looking back through my pictures, Tuesday must have been action packed because I have hardly any photos from the day! Never fear though, I found some from Wednesday and Thursday!
To back track, the weather on Tuesday was yet another day that Tropical Storm Debby interfered with our beach plans. So come Wednesday when we saw sunshine, we were all anxious to be beach bums! Didn’t quite realize the SUPER CRAZY blowing wind outside was going to be a bit of a challenge with 6 little ones!
Wednesday, we coated the crew down in sunscreen and headed out into the sunshine! Armed with a Superman kite, Charlie was pumped about flying his kite with Pop Pop and Daddy! But the SUPER CRAZY wind presented a bit of problem! Go Figure!
Armed with plenty of matching clothes and bathing suits, the Cousins were forced into many a picture on this trip. Since the sand was pelting our legs and the kids were screaming, we opted for the steps. This was the best it got!
And what better way to keep 6 kids happy than to just put them in a blow up pool in the back yard where the SUPER CRAZY wind doesn’t blow sand at you!
But Bessie thought the turkey fryer/chicken bog/crab pot that was brought along on the trip suited her just fine!
At the end of no nap Wednesday, we were all singing along with Annie “The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow!” and thankfully it did!!!
Thursday was a day of sunshine, beach bums, seashells, waves and happy kids! Not much is better than that!
Amen for the blow up pool from Wal-mart! This crew loved the pool and if Ben was happy, everyone was happy!
This surfer girl was ready for the waves and loved riding her boogie board!
The sunshine was shining, the kids were happy, Ben was in a good mood and all was well!
My sweet little man was a beach bum. Proud of his castles but not a fan at all of mommy’s picture taking! There are very few folks!
Again, I must say, I love my little love with all my heart but this child has a serious temper like no other child of mine! We were so thankful for this smiling face!
If you weren’t already aware, Garden City has Lava Rock! Impressive huh? We were shocked each time we found some. It was truly a treasure!
Bess and YaYa met a lady carrying starfish. My fearless little one was precious holding something so fragile and rarely seen!
My little boys…how thankful I am for the friendship I already see forming between these two!
Back at the pool, nothing cools a beach bum off better than a cold ice cream sandwich! This was a first for Ben and I think it is safe to say he loved it!
Our own Uncle Party Rocker was also a great poolside jumper! I just giggle watching this series of pictures! Bess just didn’t have the hang of it!
After a day of golfing, we were thankful for the big boys to come home so the mommas could take a few minutes off. These babies sure loved swimming in the pool with their Pop Pop!
Ben seems to be learning new things so quickly these days! Over our vacation, Bubba taught him to “jump”. He loves it and you can find him in the house now just jumping and giggling! Precious!
Now, I don’t know what the fascination was with this tree but you could often find Ben under the tree, playing with the tree, hiding behind the tree. I found it only fitting to capture the moment!
Just enjoying the grass with the world’s soggiest diaper!
These 3 were never ones to shy away from some sort of triple trouble!
We decided to take a walk to a friend’s house Thursday night and try, attempt, beg for our children to take some pictures on the dock in their matching outfits! Sunglasses were a must for most of our activities, this one included.
I could say so much about these two. Thick as thieves! We can already predict some dorm bunking with Bess and Lillie in the future!
Picture taking with this crew…always an extremely large bribing session! I couldn’t help but find the picture of all 6 precious and so reflective of the moment!
And even though this one had her evil eyes cut at the camera for most of the pictures, this innocent and precious picture was snapped. Love this baby!
Now, friends, I do have a rather important date tomorrow night with the love of my life and the band Coldplay, so hold your horses for the final installment of Garden City Collage Style!
