Beach Vacation

We spent 4th of July on the beach with my parents. Chase, Ethan and I left with my mom on Wednesday of last week and my dad and Shane met us after work on Thursday.

We had a great time. Chase was not too crazy about the actual beach because he was so preoccupied with the pool. His swimming teacher would be so proud and amazed if she saw how he was jumping off the side of the pool and going under water. He was like a little fish.

Our days usually started off with some pool time, an hour at the beach and then some more pool time before we had to bring Ethan back inside the condo and out of the heat. We would then eat lunch, the kids would take a nap and then repeat the same pattern in the afternoon.

Gone are the days of lounging on the beach, sitting in a chair reading a magazine while sipping on some drinks. I had to work hard to keep Chase interested in the "dirty sand" as he called it and no way was he going anywhere near the ocean. But he did have a blast surfing in his baby pool on the beach.

Thank you so much to mom and dad for letting us stay a full week at "Mammy's Beach Tower" (as Chase calls it).
