Boogie Boarding 101

If anyone is interested in learning to Boogie Board... Eli will be willing to go on vacation with you to give you private instructions! He will even bring his own board and swim trunks.

Florida Vacation 2008

We took a double van caravan down to Florida! We spent a week on the Gulf of Mexico, just living the "rich life" in our huge beach house! Eli loved building sand castles, hunting for shells, walking on the beach, and riding the waves on his boogie board!

Jenna loved chasing the waves and then letting the waves chase her. She also enjoyed playing in the sand and giving it a taste every now and then. We didn't have any baby gates, so she was very attracted to the stairs. She was allowed to sit on the bottom step, so if Jenna was missing you could find her sitting on her stair. It wasn't until the last day that Jenna enjoyed the ocean. She spent about 30 minutes sitting in the ocean letting the waves knock her around! Okay it was just a little wave and it did nothing more than spin her around on her buns. Talk about sandy buns.

James enjoyed building sand castles, boogie boarding, taking in the view from the beach house, watching sun sets and walking on the beach. Doesn't that sound like a personal ad? He also enjoyed drinking a little booze and smoking cigars with Jared and Mike.

I enjoyed taking naps, drinking Margaritas, and tanning my buns!

We have decided that that our family Christmas present this year will be a trip to Disney. We will be taking that in November! Man I can't wait to go on vacation again!
