Wish we were still there...

We made it home this afternoon from vacation.  We all fell asleep for a nap around 4 and the kids are still sleeping at 8:30.  We are just taking our chances that they will sleep through the night.  

Madeline told me the other night that vacation was hard work.  She played really hard and was super sleepy.  As she said, "like 100 sleepy".  This is her new thing, to add a number to show how sleepy or hungry or whatever she is.  But, she is right.  The kids played super hard and had a blast.  

Madeline was so brave with the ocean this year.  She loved jumping over the waves, letting them hit her in the back and boogie boarding.  Oliver liked the ocean and enjoyed jumping over the waves with us.  But, he enjoyed just playing in the sand even more.  



Even "Ruby" enjoyed the ocean.  




Andrew ventured off one day to take a few pictures at the pier close by.  






Oliver was obsessed with all the airplanes, helicopters, birds and parachutes in the sky.  He couldn't stop pointing and yelling at them until they were out of sight.  


Even with the entire ocean to play in.  Our kids enjoyed their own private swimming pool each day.  Daddy and Pawpaw did a lot of digging in the sand to make them a pool.  







Oliver also loved the floats.  He loved his blue one the best and carried it around all over the place, even in the house.  He was happy to get his hands on Madeline's as well.  




It's always nice to come home after vacation.  But, it just isn't quite the same view out our window.
