Vacation

My family knows that if they go to the beach with me the one thing I require is photos on the beach. I love having family photos on the beach. The ocean and sand are such an amazing back drop for pictures. This year Mason got in on the action. He spent most of his time in hiding due to the fact his sweet baby skin can't get sun but he did get to come out of seclusion for the family photos. He didn't seem to mind the sand. Addison enjoyed playing in the sand and making "food" out of sand. She loved the pool but didn't care much for the heat. I can't say I blame her because it was super hot. I purchased her a puddle jumper right before we left and it was a great purchase. She loved it. It helped her float way better then those arm swimmers.
Kevin and I took Addison to the Wharf and we rode the Ferris Wheel with her, which we had done before when she was 18 months, and we took her to build a bear. She built a new little pal named Honey Comb. She Loved picking out the clothes and couldn't wait to pick a heart to put inside. It was a fun experience and was nice to have some one on one time with just Addison.
We ate at a place called Lambert's where they are famous for their throwed rolls. The rolls are huge and freshly baked and they actually throw them at you. Addison really liked that part. They play tricks on you too. The spilt a pretend drink on my mom and squirted fake ketchup on me.
We had a great time cracking jokes and spending time together. It was something our family desperately needed. I'm so glad we went. I'm glad we have sweet memories on the beach with the kids and my parents.
