Too Cute

I had this picture of Camden sitting on a shelf for a while and decided to move it over to a table in our hallway. Camden was just standing and looking at it this morning. Finally, he said, "They had black and white cameras when I was a baby? Wow and now they have cameras with color!" I thought it was hilarious.

It's Your Birthday

A few years ago I started taking Camden to a dollar store and letting him pick out a few birthday gifts for Daddy. I let him pick out anything he thought Daddy would like or want. This year was no exception, aside from the fact that I had to steer him away from the dinosaur mask and a shot glass. He did really well picking out things that Daddy likes. Such a fun tradition for us.

He picked out the card and gift bag as well. The birthday gifts included pens for work, Udder Cream for his feet (you know what combat boots do to your feet!), Snickers, Hot Patch for his back, Certs, cross word puzzle book, Speed Stick deodorant (better known as "Speed Stink" to Camden and he had to smell it before he could buy it!) and a very special Bible for Daddy to read at work. So sweet!

I am sure that in the next few years I will probably have to start taking Camden to Bass Pro Shop for Daddy's birthday gifts! Ha! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! 

WE LOVE YOU!

Day 7 ~ Beach

No beach trip will be complete without the construction of this sand thing. I did learn that the trick is very wet sand! As you can see from the picture Daddy taught his son well! We are out of here tomorrow! It has been a great and relaxing trip and now we have to go back to the real world.

Bentley is going to miss it the most! He had so much fun!

Day 6 ~ Beach

What did we do today? We did a lot of swimming and some digging in the sand.

Bentley seems to swim better while holding his leash in his mouth.

We went to eat some awesome seafood. Can't do the beach without chowing down on some shrimp!

Then we watched an amazing sunset after dinner.

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!
