Our view from our 3rd floor balcony.
Us parents were a little nervous how they would behave since the boys would be sharing a room and we wanted them to get some sleep. I am happy to say that they did really good. They did however get to stay up pretty late and were usually up around 8:00, but they took about 2-3 hour naps each day. Brody kept thinking it was a race of who got up first - I had to explain to him that he won if he was the last one up not the first one.
Our days usually consisted of the beach in the mornings for a couple of hours where the boys played in the sand, rode the surf, played baseball and just ran around being boys.
After a couple hours of the beach the boys were ready for the pool so off we went. Since our condo was beach AND pool front we were able to just bring lunch down and eat it by the pool - quite nice. The boys really loved the pool and their swimming lessons really paid off. I would have rather Trevor stayed at the beach because he could toddle anywhere and I really didn't have to worry about him but at the pool all he wanted to do was walk around which made me a nervous wreck.
Thank goodness it wasn't too crowded because at times I felt as if we took over the pool area with all the stuff we would bring out and then our boys were having such a good time and would be so loud. Maybe it was the dads launching them into the air as far as possible - they loved it.
After lunch was nap time and this was when Kelly and I headed back to the beach for a couple of hours of relaxation - YEAH!!! It was so nice and I think we could have done that all day. We tried to catch up on our reading which I started reading Dr. Dobson's book "Boys Will Be Boys" - really eye opening. Thankfully Jason and Keith didn't mind too much to stay inside to "watch" the kids while they napped.
We ventured away from the condo only a couple of times because we realized VERY quickly that it was VERY time consuming and difficult to get us all ready to go off. Dinner at Saltwater Cowboys was our first attempt and after having waiting in our cars for 15 minutes for the monsoon to pass the boys did really good - we even received complements from people in the restaurant at how well our boys were - makes a mom proud.
We woke up Wednesday morning and it looked pretty overcast so we thought we would venture downtown and let the boys play on the BIG playground. They were SO excited is an understatement - they didn't even know where to start playing.
Our one and only family shot for the week.
Lunch was at Harry's downtown with a sweet treat from a gourmet popsicle "Paletas" shop.
Our condo complex also had a small playground which the boys loved as well.
To sum up our week, we all had a great time and of course the boys were exhausted but had a blast. The beach was a great vacation for us all and the best thing is that none of us came home with sunburns. Not that you haven't had enough pictures but here are a few to leave you with.
