We just got back from a week long vacation to St. Simons Island. We had a wonderful, relaxing time together. We were able to spend the week with both sides of our family. We stayed in a beach house with Momo and Granddaddy. Papa, Aunt B, Uncle Jon, and Aunt Lotis were about four houses down from us and RaRa and Autie joined the fun midway through the week. We loved being able to spend time with everyone and the boys especially loved all the attention they received.
This was Parker's first trip to the beach and he loved it! He loved running across the open sand straight to the waves. He loved trying to stand up and letting them crash into them. As soon as they knocked him over, he would just crawl farther and farther into the ocean. He definitely had no fear! He also loved throwing his beloved pacifier into the waves and having Mommy or Daddy scramble to try and find it. Once he tired out from all the wave crashing and walking he would walk up to the beach chairs for a snack or to the stroller for a stroll down the beach. He was definitely a beach bum!
Collin loved the beach too! He ran straight into the waves as soon as we got there. He had Daddy, Granddaddy, Momo, and Papa take him out deep into the water to jump the waves. He loved this until midway through the week when he got slammed and taken under by a wave and then he became a little more timid. All week he begged us for a boogie board and once he got one he tired to ride the waves with Autie. He was not so successful but looked super cute doing it.
Several times throughout the week we took the children to the Neptune Fun Park to swim. They had a swimming pool and a kiddie area with two different slides for younger children. The boys loved it! Collin went down both slides over and over while Parker had any adult that would take him down. It definitely wore them out!
All in all we had a wonderful time. We are so blessed we were able to spend time with all our family and they were able to get to know our boys on a more personal level. We cannot wait until next summer for our next family beach adventure!
