BEACH VACATION - Day 1

On June 27, we headed out for a vacation at the beach! HOORAY! We were all excited about going. The boys were looking forward to swimming & playing in the sand. Howie & I were excited about just relaxing & spending time with the boys.

During the ride south, Hudson just kept wanting to know if we were getting closer, and Cade consistently repeated, "Are we goin to de beach?!" They traveled really well, and we had a super nice condo to stay in for the week. Of course, the boys decided to share a room with twin beds while we were there (which worked out better than expected). It was especially nice on the first night when Cade announced that we had to go back home to his bed to go night-night. ha!

DAY ONE on the beach was awesome! Just what a beach vacation should be - sun, sand, waves, snacks & picnics, complete with anticipation & relaxation!

The boys first venture into the ocean...

Hudson loved running in the water along the beach (and was soon comfortable without the swimmies there)...

Cade wasn't quite as fond of the ocean water or waves...

He much preferred the sand (although he doesn't look too excited about anything in this picture - ha!)...

Family & friends around to "hang out" with made the trip even more special. Hudson, Cade, and Maddox "buried" Daddy, but I don't think they thought it was as much fun as Howie did!
