There's a First Time for Everything!

Arlan and I took the kids for their first trip to the beach on Sunday. What a ton of fun!!! Our kids loved it. We packed so much activity into our two day stay that by supper time each night I thought they were going to flop into their dinners with exhaustion. But they forced themselves to stay away in case they missed something.

Trey was busy with Mason, Ethan and Dillan. They ran from one end of the wave to the next yelling the entire time. Breanne no sooner got on the beach then made a little friend with another girl playing in the sand. (They tried their hardest to immitate the boys although not getting as "close" to the water)

We also made sandcastles and flew our kites!
The next day we took the kids on a boardwalk bike ride and Trey just talked my ear off the whole time, giving me a narration of all that was going on around us.

We also went mini-golfing thinking it may not be a hit but we were suprised at how precise Trey was with his hits. Breanne was just in it for fun and didn't quite understand that you hit the ball then DON'T TOUCH IT, and hit it again. She picked up everyones ball after they hit it, EVERY.... SINGLE.... TIME! (She's just so "orderly" like her mom. No mess.)

To end and evening on an exciting note we couldn't pass up the boardwalk and all those cute and fun rides.

Trey and Bre went on every ride together. The one time Trey didn't go with her Bre just cried and cried. It's so cute to see my kids getting along so well and becoming close friends.
It was a very fun weekend for our kids and for Arlan and I. It makes me so anxious for the next vacation we can take as a small family!!!
