Beach Fun

We went to the beach for a long weekend this past week.  It was a trip that had its ups and downs, but overall, we had a good time.  We had good weather all day on Friday and after that we had a lot of rain and storms off and on and even the start of a tropical storm.

 

 

The first night after eating dinner by the water.

Rachel discovered air-brush t-shirts and got her first one.

 

 

 

Their first Shirley Temple drink...a little sour!

 

 

 

 

Ice cream afterwards - delicious!

 

 

Last night on the beach before driving home in the pouring rain.

 

 

Fun times!

Memorial Day Weekend

Our neighborhood hosts an annual Memorial Day Pool Party each year.  We usually go and this year was no exception. 

 

 

Rachel and Bella. 

 

 

Jackson and a couple of his friends. 

 

 

And this year they had a few games for the families as well...including a watermelon eating contest.  Jackson wanted to participate and his name was one of the eight names drawn.  He did so good!  He held his own with the big kids. 

 

 

 

Even after the contest was over, he kept his slice and kept eating it.  He had red juice all over his face, his chin, his belly... it was so cute!

 

 

 

 

Still eating...

 

 

 

 

Michael and Bill, our pool and swim team director. 

 

 

Fun times!

 

 

Last Week of School

Both kids had their Awards Days this week.  They both have done extremely well this year and we are very proud of them!!  Due to the timing and such a very busy month, Michael and I split up.  He went to Jackson's and I went to Rachel's. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tuesday night was their first swim meet.  They did so good!! Here they are ready to start.

 

 

 

And today is their last day of school.  Rachel is pretty sad about it because she feels like she was jipped.   She LOVES her teacher this year and she left in February to have a baby and just came back this week.  Rachel wants another few weeks with her. 

 

 

 

 

 

On to summer break!!!
