Beach Trip

The morning after Justin finished his step 2 boards, we headed down to the beach for a much needed vacation! Justin had been studying like crazy for his test so it was so nice to have some time with him at the beach! We had a wonderful time after we got into our routine and got the kids settled in! 
 Owen LOVED the beach and buildind sandcastles!

 Love this boy!
The kids loved playing with seaweed!
Feeding the seagulls with daddy.
The kids found a dead (hard as a rock) seahorse! They enjoyed watching and holding that thing for the longest time!
Little miss!
Grace Ann enjoying some snacks! :)
Owen learned how to boogie board!! He was so proud of himself!
Daddy was a very good teacher! :)
 
With three little ones, we knew we needed some type of shelter from the sun so we bought two of these beach tents! THEY ARE AWESOME!! They don't have a bottom in them so the kids can get out of the sun but can still play in the sand.
We also bought a blow up pool to take down to the beach for the little ones! We also brought it up to the house too and the kids enjoyed playing in it!
Justin found this really awesome splash pad in front of one of the souvinear stores! It was free and for a long time we were the only ones there! It was a great afternoon activity for the kids! Walker LOVES water and really enjoyed the splash pad! :)
 

 Justins mom and her husband came to the beach with us so we got to go on a date!! It was so much fun!!

 This was our first time going to the beach as a family of five! We are going back in September to celebrate a friends 10th wedding anniversary! Lots of our friends and their children are going so we are super excited!! That trip will be at the end of Justin's audition rotation in Huntsville and a very difficult two months for me and the kids. Come on September!! :)
