The time of our life

Although it has rained for the past 48 hours since we got here, I am quickly remembering why vacation is so necessary.  It is nice just to get away from everything, enjoy time with one another and just to change up the surroundings.  I love the smell of salt water and the palm trees have always been a favorite of mine!  Karis says the trees look like they have "crazy hair."  Monday we spent the evening after we got here going to the grocery store, getting settled in, driving around the area, and catching the kids up on their sleep.  Yesterday we tried to go to the beach however everytime we would go it would start to rain.  So we hung out at the condo and watched movies and then after the kids napped were able to go to the beach for a few hours.  It was such a blast seeing the kids see the beach for the first time.  Brayden was a little scared at first and Karis ran towards the water saying, "MOM!  I have never seen this before!!!"  This is their first encounter with the beach...


The kids playing while we grilled out on the back porch...

The kids went swimming at our condo...




The kids loved getting to swim with their daddy!  Their eyes just lit up!


Kool-aid tongue

Just a glimpse of the beach...


Karis was making a recliner "just like daddy."
This morning the wind was blowing so hard that not only was it a red flag day but they weren't even letting anyone get in the ocean.  We actually tried to go we took advantage of the cloudy skies and went to the outlet malls where we found some great deals!  The storms are moving out this afternoon and it will be sunny skies for the rest of the week so we are so excited!  I have some beach pics that I will try to post later today if I get a chance.
