A Most Perfect Week at the Beach

There was a lot of running into the water and jumping over waves. The water was warm and calm. So calm that on our first day while Josh was holding Keelyn in the water, she fell asleep on his shoulder.

Uncle Jake is fun and adventurous (Mommy was nervous but Dylan was having a blast). Uncle Jake also helped the kids with their first go at boogie boarding -- they did great, no pics, but we have video that I will try to get posted soon.

"Mommy, our crabby friend is back!" We saw three kinds of crabs -- sand crabs, shore crabs, and hermit crabs. In other wildlife news, we saw an impromptu dolphin show in the wide open ocean as a pod of dolphins came upon a school of fish. We also saw lots of butterflies and dragonflies.

Traditional Family Shot (read, kids not that into it, they just wanted to play all day). The new baby (in the form of a bump, 23 weeks and counting...) made it into the picture as well. Dylan interacts with the baby bump asking if she wants a bottle. He said, "my job will be to give the baby a bottle." Then, he turned to Keelyn and said, "Keelyn, no biting the baby, that will be your job." Unfortunately, she is still biting which took center stage on vacation. At lunch, Dylan was encouraging Keelyn to eat and said, "take a big bite like you do on me." Love how he turns adversity into a teachable moment.
