Thankful Tuesday and Day 1 and 2 at Beach...

I am thankful for...
* This beautiful weather at the beach which includes lots of pool and beach time!
* A safe trip to the beach. Jalen slept the entire way - from Crossroads to N. Myrtle!
* The opportunity to take a vacation.
* All of Jalen's cute saying and I love when he holds my hand.. Aww!
* Being able to see my family on Thursday -- I do miss them. :-)
* A hectic June - We're never home, though.

What a great week and it has only begun!

Day 1 and 2 at the beach have been great.

Day 1 : When we got here, Jalen had already taken off his clothes within 5 minutes of walking in the door.. Actually probably 2. He was ready to go. I took him down to the pool, which is outdoor and heated. It was wonderful until you got out. He was a little Dorothy. He was so much of a little fish I said I wouldn't take him back in without swimmies. Nick ordered pizza and we ate pizza. Then, we made an adventure to Wal-Mart at 11 o'clock to get groceries. Then, when we got back at 12:20, it was night night time.. no pictures!

Day 2: Woke up around 10:00 and of course, Jalen woke up ready to go. I forced him to eat breakfast first, so he wasn't starving. We both ate breakfast and Daddy snoozed a little longer. We got dressed and all ready to go and Jalen & I decided to run to the gift shop to get some swimmies. Found them for $2.99 and were set. Came back and got Daddy. Off to the pool. Swam for about an hour until Jalen decided it was beach time. Whew the sand was hot but lovely. He loved running into the water and out. Didn't go all the way in because it was like swimming in ice cubes!! Back to the pool for a few, then indoor waterpark. They have a water-dunk it so Jalen and Nick were in Heaven. The kids playing were mainly rude and didn't share so I got frustrated and said we needed to go somewhere else. We played in the buckets that turn water over and then headed upstairs to eat lunch! Ate some tuna sandwhiches and then back downstairs to do it all over again minus the beach. Back upstairs for nap, haircut and dinner. Headed out to dinner at 8 to Joe's Crabshack. Was great. Shopped for a bit and then headed home. What a great day! More today...
