Our 2015 Summer Vacation- Day 8!

Slowly but surely I will finish blogging about our beach trip! But it's kind of fun reminiscing about the beach as I look through these pictures.

Day 8 was our last day on the beach so we made the very best of it! We again woke up to gorgeous weather so we were ready to take on our last day.

Our "masterpiece"

;)

I can't get enough of this face! 

This is Landon acting as Spider man "or Peter Parker" as he would say- lol!

He is shooting his "web"

Nap time!

Love my parents!

Landon had just woken up from his nap. He HAD to be wrapped in his Spider Man towel. 

That's so him!

The water was so clear so the kids enjoyed wearing their goggles and going under water to see fish and shells. These two kids absolutely love the water so they had a blast all week swimming in the ocean and pool. 

After we considered our day on the beach as complete, we headed back to the room to shower and get ready for our last night out. We headed back to Pier Park and ate outside at The Back Porch. One of my favorites! But before we ate, we took a few pictures on the beach. It was so windy so our hair went a little crazy!

I had to include this one because of Landon's smile! Love it!!

Now it was time for dinner and shopping!

We promised the kids a ride on the train so they were thrilled!

The kids loved this bungee trampoline!

Adalyn figured out how to do back flips by herself so she was a flipping machine!

I think Landon laughed the entire time :) The worked would help him with back flips and he just thought that was the best thing!

By the time they jumped, we had already eaten, shopped, rode a few rides as well as the train, so we were getting ready to head out. But we stopped for ice cream first :)

It was the perfect way to end our vacation! We had a wonderful time!

Day 9 was us traveling back home on Saturday. There was a lot of traffic so it took longer than it should but the kids did great even though they didn't sleep a bit!

Next year we are heading back to DISNEY!! Can you hear me scream? Because I am THAT excited!!!! The planning (and saving!) start now!

This was Adalyn's 1st trip to the beach- 2011

Landon's 1st trip- 2013

Our 2015 Summer Vacation- Day 7!

Thursday morning marked day 7 of our summer vacation. I know I have already mentioned this but we had the best weather every single day! So we woke up to bright sunshine and a Yellow flag!! All days prior we had a red flags with really large waves but on this day, it was much much calmer. We enjoyed a FULL day on the beach yet again!

This is how my morning started off...

snapping some pictures of these cuties!

I love his hand on that hip! haha

This girl has the very best head of hair I have ever seen.

This is one of my favorites of Landon! I already have it framed in his room :)

So blessed!

Adam found a hermit crab in the ocean and Landon was taking a gooood look at it

;)

 

 

This chair was my best friend :)

It reclined so I would drag it out to the water and just lay and soak up the sun. 

Ahhhhhhh

  

Adalyn and my dad way out there!

This made me laugh when I saw my mom had captured all the "steps" it takes to attempt a family photo

;)

Here are a few more random ones from our afternoon

My parents headed back to the room around 3:30 to get ready to go out that night. Adam and I and the kids hung out at the beach for another hour or so before we called it a day.

We eventually left the beach and headed to the condo for showers and clean clothes. Adam grilled steaks for us for supper then we took the kids back down to the beach around sunset for pictures. 

Consider this your warning... I have lots of pictures to share!

Whew. If you made it through, thanks for hanging on.

:)

After we wrangled with the kids for photos, we headed back up to the room to change into our bathing suits. Although I didn't. I was so sunburnt I just felt cold so I didn't really feel like swimming so I sat in a chair and watched. It was pretty relaxing actually :)

Landon reminds me so much of Adalyn when she was 3 1/2. Starting on this vacation, he is all about swimming with his floaties off. He does so good! He can swim from the steps to one of us and we can keep moving back until he reaches us. On this particular night, we took his floaties off and he "dove" for a diving toy in the deep end. Adam would wait until it floated to the bottom and then Landon would take a deep breath and Adam would push his body all the way down. He would grab it and come up kicking as fast as he could and would immediately say, " I want to do it again!"

I have it on video and smile every time I watch it on my phone. 

Both of our kids love the water and for that, I am very grateful for!

After they went swimming, we walked on the beach and looked for crabs. They are all over the place at night and the kids had so much fun holding flashlights and chasing them down. It was late by the time we get back to our room so we put on our pjs, ate a snack and watched some TV then went to sleep. 

We had a very loooong Thursday! But what a blast it was!
