Beach Vacation for Memorial Day

We had the best vacation for Memorial Day. The weather was perfect. It had rained all week and I was really worried that we picked the absolute worst weekend to go to the beach. We had about 2 hours of rain the first morning and then the rest of the 4 days could not have been more beautiful. First thing CJ did of course, was jump in the pool!

My little pirate. They had a kids club there that he went to and they painted treasure chests and dressed up like pirates. He had a blast!

Then he made a shark tooth necklace with Red Beard the Pirate. He wore that necklace all weekend.

At dinner that night we had a little gun show going on.

Momma's guns!

Facebook photo! :-)

This was our cabana on the beach. I loved it and only wished we spent more time there. When given the option of the pool or the beach, the pool won out every time!!

We went to Twistee Treat one night. It was soooooo good!! It reminded me of the ice cream place we use to go to in NJ when we were kids.

He finally decided to brave the slide. Look how excited he is!

It was so tall!

Christian made friends in the pool and they had these water guns. The kids had a blast with them. It wasn't long though before security came over and asked us not to use them. Some of the guests were complaining that they were getting splashed. Come on people...go to the adult pool if you don't like it.

Hot dogs and french fries. I was so tired of french fries by the end of the trip.

It was a great vacation!! Off to New York now next week. Should be fun!

Momma's Dragon Boat Race

The race this year was fun. A little disappointing, we took 2nd and 3rd, but still fun. I am in the 3rd row. We just got done racing...so I am exhausted!

The boat looks good here. They are all in good form. This isn't the boat that I race in.

Put your game face on!!

Momma and her little dragon boater!!

Florida Aquarium

All of these pictures were so cute that I couldn't limit the ones I put on the blog. Aunt Penny took Cheyenne, Alyssa and Christian to the Florida Aquarium. He had a great time as you can see. They took what I thought would be a short walk to the Dragon Boat races to come see my 2nd race. Then went back to the Aquarium to play in the water park. It was a VERY hot day. So the water felt good!!

A Penquin! Silly boy closing his eyes.

Chey, a Shark, Christian and Alyssa.

He is sooooooo handsome!!!

Checking out the dolphins teeth.

Inside the shell. Check out the tatoos on his leg.

What a cute photo!

On his tippy toes.

Chey and the turtle egg.

Alyssa and Christian. Blue looks good on you girl!!

He's been so into Gators lately. I can't decide if it is because of the real Gators that live around Penny's house or because of the Florida Gators. I may be in denial.
