Saturday, Sunday and Monday

Saturday, June 4th we left for the beach. It was a long trip, but it was definitely worth it. We got down there and got unpacked, and Daphne had to look through ALL the cabinets in the villa. We went to play on the beach for quite some time and then we went to the Wings store to get some sand toys. Brendan and I went back out later to the beach to skim board. We weren't so good and got shown up by 12 year olds, so Brendan gave the boy his board. Then we picked up pizza on the way home to eat and watch the fireworks. Daphne was so excited about the ocean that she literally did not sleep any that night. It was not a fun night for Clinton and I (nor anyone in the next rooms!) I ended up staying on the balcony most of the night so she could point to the ocean every few minutes and say ooooooooh. It was cute (just not right then). Sunday morning we woke up pretty early and went down to the beach. Brendan and Clinton built a sand castle while Shannon, Daphne and I played in the sand and the ocean. We got really good at walking to the ocean and not crawling. We didn't like the sea shells on our knees so we learned really quickly. Sunday night, Daphne stayed with mom and dad while the 6 of us went to Hard Rock for dinner. It was good, but some of us didn't realize how expensive it was going to be. I'm glad Clinton and I were prepared! Monday we went to the beach for the morning, then went to Liberty for a late lunch/early dinner. We also went shopping at Broadway at the Beach for quite a while. Brendan and Clinton both built cars at the build a bear for boys place. They got to decorate their remote controlled cars with all kinds of stuff however they wished. It was really neat. It was actually called RideMakerz but we liked our own name for it. :) Daphne climbing into the cabinets.

Brendan trying to teach me how to ride on the skim board. I did it for a second or two, but didn't last very long. Surfing is much easier, as long as you don't hit any rocks.

Daphne playing in the sand. Yes, notice all the sand on her face and in her hair!

Us at Hard Rock.

The boys at Hard Rock. They all look so cute.

I have several pictures of us on the beach with the sandcastles, but they are on a waterproof camera. I am getting the pictures tomorrow and I'll post them then! For now, enjoy tons and tons of pictures!!!
