Beach with My Family

The first part of June we took a break from packing and headed down to the Flagler Beach with my family!  Mom, Dad, Cuz, and Jim got down there earlier in the week and Kevin and I left after work on a Tuesday.  On the way down we picked up our last minute guests Tiffany and Hayes in LaGrange - I'm so glad they could join us!  As you will see from the pictures it would have been a completely different trip if they weren't there, since I spent half the time being Hayes' paparazzi :)  

It was a little rainy while we were there but whenever the sun came out we seized the opportunity!  So we spent our time hanging out on the beach, relaxing inside when it was raining, and eating great food.  I also happened to turn 27 years old while we were down there so we celebrated with some beach time, dancing inside while it rained, drinking fun drinks, and eating delicious bacon wrapped shrimp, grilled Mahi Mahi, yummy desserts and Jim's homemade chocolate ice cream.  

The following pictures capture a lot of the memories, but here a few others I don't want to forget:
  • On the way down, Hayes wanted some more milk and Tiffany told him she was sorry but we were out of milk.  His logical response was "well we need to go to the grocery store mama!"  He is just over two years old and cracks me up!   
  • Jim wore his shoes and socks to the beach.  Hayes promptly asked his mom why that man had his shoes and socks on and asked him to take them off.  Jim complied, and thanks to Hayes I bet his feet felt better!
  • "I thought I saw a big ole dog..."  
  • Running in from the beach to the Tahoe with the rain busting out from the sky so hard it hurt. Then seeing Cuz and Jim pedaling past us on their bikes looking pitiful!  Needless to say they didn't quite make it to the comic book store.
  • Eating at Hull's and Flagler Fish Company for dinner
  • Eating at Oceanside Beach Bar & Grill for breakfast (most mornings), lunch, AND dinner
  • Hearing the stories of Cuz and Jim dancing to "Keevohn" the night before we got there.  He enjoyed their dancing so much he gave them his CD and we got to experience their dancing too while listening to his CD one rainy afternoon :)


Forgot to get a fork at Chick-fil-a on the way down, Hayes' beach shovel came in handy!
We stayed at my parents' good friends Ken and Ellen's beach house.  Their house is right on this awesome canal!

Fearless!

Love my parents!



Thumbs up!  Hayes loves his Uncle Scott and playing the guitar!

Listening carefully...


Hayes got so excited listening to Dad play the guitar he all of the sudden did a flip! (and several more followed :) )


Hayes loves his Mamie!

Tom Cat!
