We started off the day in our little trailer eating oatmeal (’cereal’ Lydia says). She was so excited. She wanted to sit in her booster chair. She got to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while we were eating. It doesn’t get much better than that for her!

We got dressed and ready to go but stopped long enough to pose in front of our trailer.

Then drove our golf cart to see if the rest of the fam was up. And they were! Lydia and Bryar got a little ball time in.

We got to the beach and Les took Lydia down. This was the closest she got all weekend. She ended up being terrified of the water. So, that called for some fun times of her clinging to me for hours at a time.
Progression of fear…
Hi Daddy!

Lydia, isn’t it nice? Let’s get in the water now.

WAAAAHHHHH! Up! Up! Up!

After an introduction to water and waves, we did what kids do best–play in the sand!



Judah, showing the girls how it’s done.

I decided to make sea turtles and a few starfish! Free hand, of course.

Here come Grammy and Bryar Rose!

Bryar is one serious digger.


After awhile we all decided to get comfortable in the beach chairs. Here’s Lydia loving a pink chair!

Grammy & Bryar waving to everyone in the water.

Grammy & Grandpa.

And Judah.

Later on, Lydia & Bryar decide to take a walk down the beach while Grammy watches.

On the way back to our beach home for lunch, we stopped by the pool! Lydia loves to wear her “armies”.

But we didn’t do much swimming because it was so cold! What am I talking about? I didn’t do any swimming! One look at Scott’s face and there was no way I was jumping in!

Judah is a tough guy, so he didn’t mind!

I think Lydia was holding on to Grandpa to keep warm! Her little lips were blue and she was shivering!

Uncle Scott trying to get a smile out of Lydia.

Daddy & Lydia decide to test out the kiddie pool. Yep. Still freezing.

Finally, we gave up on the pool, wrapped up in a beach towel and it was off to the trailer for a nap!
day 2 part 2 coming soon…i hope…
