It seems as though the more we do, the harder it gets for me to keep the blog updated, so that every time I sit down to write about our adventures the task seems almost overwhelming. The last two weeks of summer were crazy, with lots of vacation and events. The first "leg" of our vacation was our yearly beach vacation with Gigi, Poppy and Great-Gram. While we were there we had a little party to celebrate Lexi's 4th birthday, and then just did a whole lotta nuthin. It was fantastic! We did have some pretty wild weather with a hurricane and then a tropical depression both passing through on the two weekends we were there. However, the hurricane only made for some wild waves but the sun was still shining bright, making it a better deck day than beach day.
Lexi and Zachary had a wonderful time playing on the beach while we were there. We had a lot of visits from cousins and friends, so Lexi almost always had someone to play with. That child probably ran a marathon on the beach each day, back and forth to the water building sand castles and digging holes. She had a blast and she was such a pleasure to watch as well! Zachary also enjoyed his first beach vacation. At exactly nine months (our first day at the beach) Zach finally mastered crawling, and also sprouted two teeth, so I thought for sure he would be cranky, but he was not and loved digging, crawling in and eating the sand. His favorite part of any day was when someone would make him a pool of water - either with the plastic pool or in the sand at low tide. He would sit and play in the water until he turned blue, just laughing and splashing. Zach even took a beach nap or two...something Lexi has never done!
Our time at the beach was short, as we had to take off early in the second week to fly out to Colorado for Devan and Jen's wedding, but it was a wonderful time, and we're really looking forward to next year. Here are some of the pictures. To see the whole album you can go here (some pictures are missing from the album, but I am going to update that soon).
