Beach Trip 2013

So with school about to start back, we thought that a beach weekend was in order! Both of Brian's brothers families met us for the weekend at the most wonderful beach house. The house was right on the inner-coastal canal and we got to see the large ships and barges come and go. The big doc was a prime spot for fishing and crabbing. The boys were endlessly amused with the crabs! (I think all the adults were also!)

Love this pic!

 The cousins had A BLAST! They climbed up and down bunk beds and ran all around the dock. They slept soooo hard both nights.

Boys LOVES bunkbeds (think ben only fell off 3 times!lol)

Poor tiny T~

They had a blast at the beach also. Well everyone but cousin Ryan! The first day at the beach he managed to get stung by a jellyfish through his swim shirt! Poor guy! Trenton ate a bunch of sea shells and got so tired he laid his head down on the sand like he was going to sleep! LOL... moments later he rubbed his eyes with his arms that were covered in sand! SOOO.. I had to run him to the cooler of water and rinse him down. He enjoyed the rest of the day wrapped in a towel eating goldfish in the shade! Its a hard life. Trenton is walking everywhere. He really started preferring to walk right as we left for the trip. Jacob liked collecting shells w/ cousin Ben and Aunt Dawn~! Nathan liked riding the boogie board and football with dad~

napping in the sand!

Trenton was mesmerized!

Jacob loved shells and sand!

Nathan (he wanted goggles b/c salt hurt his eyes!)

First time for all 5 of us at the beach... a downgrade from the last beach on MAUI!

Where it all began.. the Spence BROTHERS!

Uncle Mike seeing if this is a Boy or Girl crab.

Ryan's first fish.. with his dad Mike!

We got home Sunday night, took baths, brushed teeth, and said prayers. We were saying what we were thankful for and Nathan says, "fishing, catching crabs and..." then bust into tears. He realized as he said it that he left his tiny 3 crab claws there that he had carried around all weekend. When he calmed down he told me he hid them on the deck. I wrote the owner and asked when they were going down next... she wrote me back and said she had just pulled up and the claws were right were N had said they would be and she would bring them back with her on thurs! Nathan was so excited! Funny how something can mean so much to a child!
