Sunday, September 6, 2009

We had awesome weather on our trip, not too hot which was perfect for Lawson. I was kind of nervous b/c there was a chance of thunderstorms everyday. It ended up raining in the evening a few days during the week. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the storms moving in.

Beach: Day 1

We love going to beach, but we are NOT lay at the beach people! However, we made sure to make some visits for the boys, well Briley. Luckily, I think he enjoys the pool more too!

Lawson is ready!

Checking out the water

He thought he was going to fall!

Finally splashing in!

Beach Chairs

Both of the boys loved their beach chairs. I'm not sure if we would've survived the summer without Lawson's rocker. If you are having your second child, this is the chair to have!

We're home from a week at the beach. We had so much fun and did a lot of playing, sunning, running, eating, and relaxing. Briley had an absolute blast! Lawson loved looking around at the new scenery. It was surprisingly easy with 2 boys. The car ride went much better than we expected with Lawson. Our only complaint is that Lawson didn't sleep very well at night on the trip, but I'd rather wake up at night at the beach than at home any day!

Briley woke up excited to head to the beach!

The "magic tv's" made the trip soooo much better!

He loved exploring our "new home" as he called it.

He had his own room with bunk beds, a tv, and playstation!

He thought the ladder was great and sat up there to play games.

5 Things I Love About the Beach!

We're home, and I can't wait to share everything about our first vacation as a family of 4. But I'm exhausted after riding in the car all day, so until then...

The five things I love about the beach:

1. Waking up and going to sleep to a gorgeous view.
