A Beach Day (Thank God)

I wish I could say that we all slept in today, but really, only Emily did. The rest of us were up way too early.

 

We  had breakfast sand went to a gift shop. Emily tried on 10 sweatshirts but couldn't find one she liked.  She looked cute in all of them, but you can't tell that to a 13 year old girl.

 

Then, we headed to Gwynne and Enrique's.  Here's Grampie and Noah. 

 

We got some lunch and went to a few stores and came back to say goodbye. 

 

We drove to the beach.  Ah, the beach. We are at New Smyrna which is a cool little beach town. The kids couldn't wait to get to the beach.

 

Here's our hotel. It's right on the beach.  It's so weird that people park on the beach.  We've never been to a beach where you can do that. It's totally cool, but it's a little scary since Ben usually runs around oblivious on the beach.  Now we have to watch him and tell him to be careful of the cars.  He learned pretty quickly today.  He just stayed behind where the cars are. He's actually behind Emily's shoulder in the red trunks.

 

Then, we found the gym and Ben was reunited with his gym ball. 

 

David's friend Michele showed up at the beach too.  She's David's friend from back at University. Then, we headed out to dinner.

 

Michele took a pic of us which is rare we are all 5 in a pic.

 

Goofy faces.  :)

 

Noah took this picture, but his finger is in it.  He tried. 

 

And here's the three of us.

 

It was a great dinner and we had a lovely time.

 

Tomorrow we get to spend the whole day at the beach.  Sounds perfect to me!
