Day 2 of our adventurer started out awesome! Our biggest worry about our vacation was how well the Diva was going to sleep, well she did awesome. I think she slept better in the condo then she did at home (might have something to do with not getting an afternoon nap, though). I got to start my morning with coffee on the balcony to an amazing view. Then the kids got up and we had a fun breakfast of mini pancakes and turkey sausage. After breakfast we all headed down to the beach for a walk and to look for sea shells. Eli wasn't to interested in looking for sea shells, he was more interested in destroying sand castles that were left from the day before.
There was no breeze that morning so the mosquitoes were fierce! I had no clue they would be down on the beach too. So those lovely little bugs cut our beach walk short and we headed to Krogers for some bug spray! We had to go to Krogers because they have a Starbucks and our coffee at the coffee left much to be desired! We got our coffee, bug spray and ice cream for latter.
I had arranged for Thomas' sister, husband and kids to come join us at the beach today. Eli was so excited to have his cousin Caleb come play with him at the beach. Once the Lutz family made it to the condo everyone headed down to the beach to play (with a fresh coat of bug spray!). Hannah Joy and I stayed up at the condo for a nice nap.
Got to love a condo where I can watch everyone play!
After playing on the beach for a while (Eli did not care much for the sea weed the tide was bringing in) everyone headed up to the condo for lunch and a little play out of the sun.
Loved watching these 4 play together!
Eli and Caleb had a blast playing in the bunk beds and the back bedroom. After lunch and cleaning up we headed down to the Condo's pool (to escape the sea weed). It was a really nice pool.
Hannah Joy loved the pool. Isn't that hat just the cutest thing!
The babies had a great time "swimming" together.
All that swimming wore Aaron out and he had to take a nap, what a better way to nap then by the pool snuggled up with your mommy! Hannah Joy also attempted to take a nap pool side but by the time she decided to fall asleep the pool started getting busy and she kept getting woken up.
The big boys had a blast swiming all over the pool in their puddle jumpers. I think the puddle jumpers are one of the best things, it gives Eli so much freedom and I don't have to try to hold 2 kids in the pool.
To cute cousins!
After many hours in the pool we were pruney and hungry! We headed up to the condo to rest and ice cream Sundays!
I think they are watching Toy Story while enjoying some yummy ice cream.
Hannah Joy also got into the action with some whipped cream.
(mommy, I want some more, please!)
Don't worry Aaron also got some ice cream too from his mommy's bowl. After ice cream the big boys went to go play in the back room and left us adults (and babies) watching Toy Story, which we quickly changed to Tangled. All to soon it was time for the cousins to leave, Uncle Jonathan had to get back to work, he had a huge project due but he took the day off to come play with us (thank you Uncle Jonathan for coming!). Plus the kiddos were worn out from all the swimming.
The boys passed out while watching a movie, while Hannah Joy and I went out for a walk on the beach. Once the boys woke up it was dinner time. The plan was for us to make hamburgers for dinner but after all the fun in the water I was pretty work out and we decided to go out for pizza. We hit up a Galveston local pizza joint, Papa Pizza.
Of course the Diva had to sit in the center of the table.
Eli was still pretty worn out and extra cuddly.
Pizza with a view, I can't think of a better way for us to wind down a wonderful day at the beach. That evening we were all exhausted and everyone went to bed early.
