Sand, Sun, and Ice Cream...oh, my!

Mom and I just got back Friday afternoon from our trip to VA Beach with the kids. We headed down Tuesday...let the giggles begin! We had so much fun talking with each other and spending some great quality time with the kids.

Some highlights:

We arrived around 10:00PM...just in time for a walk down the strip and some play time before bed time.


Wednesday morning we took the kids down to the beach. Liam slept...Makayla played! After being in calm waters at the lake for a week, it took Makayla a little to warm up to playing in the ocean waves.



Wednesday evening, we took a ride on a surrey bike. We were serenaded by thunder and watched the lightning illuminate the sky. We were determined to get ice cream and return the bike before the rain began...we were close, but we did it! Not sure ice cream ever tasted so good. Note to self...giving a toddler ice cream before bed...not a good idea!

The storm Wednesday evening really cooled things off, making the weather perfect for mini golf Thursday morning. Makayla quickly grasped the concept of getting the ball in the hole, and ran around like she owned the place. We headed to Ben and Jerry's for yes, more ice cream! Note to self...giving a toddler ice cream before nap time...not a good idea!!!



Thursday afternoon it stormed again. Instead of heading to the beach, we headed to the indoor pool. I wasn't sure how Liam would react. He actually enjoyed the water. It must have been soothing...he fell asleep while we played in the water!



Our trip ended too soon, as we headed out Friday morning. I loved all of our time spent together and the memories we made...plans for next year...in the making! :) We LOVE the beach!
