Day 5 ~ Beach

Today was another beautiful relaxing day of waves crashing, crab hunting, being lazy and eating a ton of food. Doesn't get any better! We did venture out this afternoon to the Missile Museum. This island was a testing range for missiles back in WWII. We learned a lot and found it all very interesting.

When we returned from the museum we tried to do a little photo shoot on the beach. You know how those things go....

Yes, friends, you can snorkel in six inches of water!

Day 4 ~ Beach

What did we do today? We soaked up lots of sun and it was a beautiful day. Grandma even jumped some waves....

This float that used to belong to Camden just so happened to blow away while we were down at the water. The nice man sitting beside of us came up to us and let us know that it blew down the beach as far as the eye could see. Nice! He even suggested that it would be an adventure to go look for it. Is he crazy? We are on vacation and not going on a five mile walk to look for a float!!

The top entertainment of the day was a lovely little cruise around the island. We actually saw some dolphins! They were playing all around us. Yes, this was our cruise boat though it was more like a tug boat!

King of the world with a frown on his face. Leonardo didn't do that!

Day 3 ~ Beach

Camden caught several of these big ugly crabs today. This would be the exact reason why Mommy will not go in the ocean. Do you see the size of those claws? Oh my! You all would know if one of those things took a bite of me. I would still be screaming! Ok, kids do not try this at home....Bentley likes to dig with his nose.

Camden and Grandma taking a chill out.

Camden decided that he has hair growing on his chest, so we all had to look at it this morning. He is so silly! This afternoon I was asking him what he wanted for his snack and I named off about everything we had. He said, "Mommy, you should work in a restaurant because you know everything to say!" One of these days he is going to get it! We ended the day with some totally yummy Max's Pizza!

Day 2 ~ Beach

Day 2 of the Olympics, I mean the beach, went swimmingly. Camden got gold medals in all of the aqua sports! First up was some tubing. What, that isn't a sport? Well it should be!!

Next was surfing...

Then the hole dig...

Bentley competed in the Pretzel. He won!

The Beach

What is wrong with this picture? Well, as you can see, this is our view of the ocean. Does it look like the size of a postage stamp? That's because it is!!! Our house has a great deck on it, but it has a mountain of sand dune right in front of it. Therefore, we can hear the ocean we just can't see it. Ha! We finally made it to our week of total relaxation. We had a rough start since we couldn't find Bear and we were not leaving the house without him. Camden can't survive one minute without him and that would mean no relaxation in our total relaxation! Bentley is having a great time bird watching and letting his ears flap in the wind!

We are experiencing lots of rain today, but that is fine. We are lounging around and RELAXING! No worries!

Happy Place

In a very short time we will be going to mommy's Happy Place! Can you guess where that is?

Camden asked Tim the other night, "Do you think Mommy should win 10,000 Gold Medals for being the best Mommy in the world?" How sweet he can be!

He also asked me, "Is a Sea Horse a water breather or an air breather?" I just love how he makes me think about things that I never would imagine in a million years!

19 Years

It was 19 years ago today that the wedded bliss started. It seems like only yesterday, yet so much has happened in 19 years. Together we have shared so much joy and pain, many deployments, tons of laughter and some really unforgettable moments. All of this to make us stronger and who we are today. My dear one, I have loved you with all of my heart from the moment I first saw you at Bev's house and all because Sandy made it happen! So in true Anniversary fashion we exchanged gifts...Tim gave me the cutest little IPod Nano and I got this cute little fire pit for 19 years of service. Ha!

 Tim got his dream come true (besides me)....a boat!

Happy 19th Anniversary!!!
