The Beach

We took Finley and Ace to Clearwater Beach on Thursday of last week.  They absolutely loved it!
 
Heading toward the water with Daddy!

Dragging his feet in the silky sand.

SO excited!

After a quick wardrobe change, they were ready to play!

So pretty!

Running from the waves.

Splashing!

Run Ace, Run!

Brrr!

AH...the waves keep coming!

Sweet!

Ha...I can hear her laughing in this one!

Focus!

Run kiddos!

Watching the waves crash in!

Hand in hand...

...running back in together!

And again!

Even the "puppy" came to the beach with us!

And so did some pouting!

I don't know how this little guy was able to have that water in his mouth!?!?

He even dumped water over his head!  :)

This makes me laugh...my timing couldn't have been any better!

Playing in the sand.

CHEESE!

I LOVE THE OCEAN!

Asking to have his tongue rinsed off!

Silly!

Looking for shells.

Smiles!

This creeps me out...Ace is chasing a flock of seagulls! 
These birds just lurk around in hopes of catching a crumb. 
But it was their lucky day...a lady right next to us decided to throw them some bread! 
As soon as she opened the bag, it felt like we were being attacked by these gross, white birds!  :)

Ace loved it...he chased them and tried so hard to catch one!

When I asked him what he would have done if he had caught one, he responded with
"I would pet it mommy!"  :)

FL Treats

We spent last week down in sunny Florida with my family.  We enjoyed 80 degree weather and days of doing absolutely nothing!  Of course when we got to Grandma & Grandpa's house they had "treats" waiting for the kids!  Finley was quick to discover Grandma's hiding place...but kept that a secret for a couple days until she couldn't wait any longer for the "prince" (Ken doll)!  Ha!  
 
Finley in front of the special Barbie house Grandma made for her!

Ace watching the police car zoom around the cool race track!

Naughty!

I've never had a "climber"...until AJ came along!  
 
I feel like I've seen this picture before?  Has anyone else...maybe circa 1980? :)

Happy Halloween!

Even though we missed the Halloween parade and Trick or Treating this year, our kids have enjoyed making Halloween projects!
 
Pumpkins, pumpkins, and more pumpkins!

Black spiders!

Witch Hat cookies...

They look pretty chocolate-y! 

Eyeing his up!

Eating the Kiss first!
 
***We will take our kids Trick or Treating tomorrow night...to a few houses!***  :)
