There were THREE boys in the back anxious to arrive....
Once we got there, we played a little and then went out to eat at a Mexican place. We came home and it was late, but there was a beautiful sunset, so we played a little more outside.
Dear Cal and Andy: please do NOT copy your father. Riding a skateboard while hanging on to a golf cart is crazy and dangerous. At least wear a helmet if you do.....
We woke up Friday morning and were on the beach by 9. I can honestly say I don't remember a prettier Memorial Day weekend-- the weather was just perfect and the beach was too!
Eddie brought over the paddle board to SUP in the ocean and he ended up taking Cal out to ride a few waves! He did great and loved it...and you know Eddie was beyond excited to get to share his love with Cal.
Hank, on the other hand, was a nervous wreck. I was screaming for Hank to come, which he normally does immediately. He refused to leave Cal's side out there. He was biting the board and getting as close to Cal as he could. Bless his heart. He was getting pounded by waves, but would not leave Cal.
While Cal was surfing, Andy was running around like crazy...until he announced he was tired and then just kinda laid in the sand for a little rest! ha! He stayed like that for quite a while, just chilling!
After a trip to the pool, we stripped these boys down in the garage-- they got big ol' tan lines right away!
My brother's family came down Friday night so the rest of the weekend was much like the first day, but with cousins to play with too!
Andy and Catherine had a blast together-- they were two peas in a pod the entire time! Catherine is Cal's age, but she and Andy are buddies.
Cal spent 99% of the weekend like this: in a bathing suit, no shoes, no shirt, extremely happy:
To Andy, the world is his potty...
Cousin fun:
Cal and Eddie had some good fishing time too:
We had our other friends over too for added fun!
And we celebrated Anna Claire's birthday!
Cal and Jackson spent hours one afternoon playing in the ocean. They were body boarding, surfing, tackling each other and diving under waves. They had THE best time together. We could hear them laughing from up on the beach. I love their love of the ocean!
And look at these smiles! You think they are having fun??
Andy and Grandpa had a heart to heart on the beach. They were solving all the problems of the world together.
We ended Memorial Day with a boat right...and it was darn right fabulous. It was beautiful out and the boys were worn out and into snuggling. I love boat rides. Love them. And now getting to take them with my little ones is just so great. I am sentimental like that.
So very very blessed:
It was a wonderful weekend! Bring on, SUMMER!
