Well, we have been to the beach! Or maybe it is better to say that we survived the beach! I say that not because of the oil like you might be thinking but because we went as a family which means our trip involved a 6 year old and a 2 year old.....If any of you have ever been with kids this age, you know how much fun it is but also how much WORK it is! Whew! I will have to say this year was a huge improvement on last year's trip. And by that I mean we were actually able to go to the pool/beach and stay for more than 30 minutes at a time. We really did have a fabulous time! We went with some sweet friends of ours and their 2 kids....they are 6 and 1 so the kids had a great time playing together....And I was pleasantly surpised by the oil situation......it was there, certainly, but overall it didn't really effect our trip! That is not to say that we swam in the ocean, because, let's face it, I am a bit of a freak about our health/cleanliness, and even when I couldn't see the oil, I knew it was there. In fact, on the one day that we really couldn't see it, we did put our feet in the ocean and the remnants of the oil kind of looked a little like syrup on our legs! YUM! But we still had good times playing in the sand and in the pool. And, to be honest, I am much more of a pool girl myself. The crowds were also VERY small so it was actually a perfect time to go....at least with my bunch....we aren't exactly known for our patience! Anyway, all of these words are to say a good time was had by all....but my oh my, I am so happy to be home!!!!!
And when we got home, guess who welcomed us home?????
For those of you who having been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the kittens...well, they are here! As best I can tell, there are 4 little furballs, but I am not entirely sure! The boys cannot wait for them them to get a little bigger so they can play with them. Logan keeps saying, "When they come out, I can touch them!" So, we are excited!
I hope you all had a great weekend!
