Life at Pawley’s

 

The Rutland family had a fantastic and wonderful time at Pawley’s this year!!!  With 6 kids and some crazy adults, there were very few dull moments!  It didn’t take long for the craziness to start once RahRah whipped out a surprise treat for the kiddos (& Jeffery!)  Needless to say, we saw these shades all week!

Boogie Boarding was the thing to do with this crew of kiddos this year!  In the ocean, surfing the waves was the only thing they wanted to do!  We were a little rusty from last year, but Charlie and Wylie quickly picked up their natural surfing skills and showed off all their moves again this year!

The big boys were always up for a new activity or form of entertainment.  This year, these studmuffins decided skin boarding was their calling!  The pictures speak for themselves!   Bless their souls!

I love that Pawleys is full of little puddles!  Our family spends all day in these and thankfully Ben loves them!

My kids had never experienced the Wii before this year’s beach trip!  It was a HIT!!!  During lunch breaks or after we would come in every afternoon, this was the chosen activity!  We had some serious dance moves going on in this house!

And since all the moves sported by the children were because their fathers are such rock star dancers, the dads got in on it too!  Nothing like a friendly dance competition between silly boys!  Good laughs!

While at Pawley’s this year, we also learned that despite showing us no skills learned from her previous cheerleading camp, Wylie really did learn at least 1 pose.  The cheer itself was quite the sight to see but at least I got something for the money we paid! 

Ben was never far from his broom.  He found this broom at the house and walked around with it ALL THE TIME!!!!  Getting it from him to use it was quite the feat!

Monday was a beautiful day on the beach! Happy kids, sunshine, and waves!  What is better?  The tent provided plenty of moments for Charlie to teach DooDad a few Spiderman moves and how to throw a web to save the world!

As I sat under the tent, I saw such a precious site!  2 of my favorite people having a deep conversation about something (probably Dora or a good song)!  Oh how I love these two!!

And then it was time for more boogie boarding fun!  Wylie was a pro!  And loved EVERY minute of it!!!

Ben could not get enough of his puddle time each day!  So thankful for smiles from this little man!
