Beach Pictures

Beach 2008

Last week we spent 5 days at Ms. Elaine's Beach Cottage for our annual beach trip. We have been going every year at least once since Noah was about 8 weeks old. We enjoy spending time in her pool and going down to the beach. This year we did something a bit different and went on a Pirate Cruise. It was all about the kids on board. They had a water fight with a boat passing by, had sword fights, games, heard a story, and then we found a hidden treasure in the ocean. However, the saddest part of the trip was when we dropped the camera and it broke, so we had to buy a new one at Target. You can't be at the beach without a camera, especially when you have a blog spot to keep up. It was sooo much fun, Noah was a true pirate for the night. We went to eat at our usual hang out Sharky's because they have a playground and a pirate ship to play on. We spent most of our time though at home or on the beach. We got breakfast a few days at the famous Thomas Donuts! And we adventured out again one night for dinner at Pineapple Willy's. Micah was a real trooper and finally got use to the sand all over him, but he really enjoyed playing with the squirt bottle on the beach the most. Noah I believe enjoyed swimming in the pool more than the beach. He really enjoyed it when he got to go night swimming. Mimi was actually down at the beach for a weekend with a friend and she came and hung out with us for awhile on Saturday, because her friend was feeling a little under the weather that day after an asthma attack on the way down Friday. The boys enjoyed spending time with her and I know she loved every minute of it too. We are looking forward to a trip again next year, but Mark and I will have to admitted we'd like to go back again for a few days just the two of us. We'll see!!
