Last day of vacation fun...

It was a beautiful Florida day today and the ocean had calmed quite a bit. It was practically like the lake and the children could stand up without being knocked over. They both became a little more daring without the waves.









MG and I spent most of our morning playing in the sand. J played a little but he was more interested in hanging in the ocean with Daddy..















And a REALLY far away picture of us in the ocean. No closeups of me in a bathing suit...wouldn't want to scare you all away. Ha.MG became our little "sticky fingers" this week. Every time J would put down his juice box to go play, guess who was waiting to snatch it up? Just call her "the juice box stalker". It was pretty funny.

Her next act of theft: shade. The weather had been perfect all week...a bit overcast and breezy. My family has no need for chairs and umbrellas. They can't be still long enough to enjoy them and with perfect weather we didn't really need them. My children refuse to wear hats so we just coat them up in sunscreen and let 'em go. So, today was very sunny and HOT. So what did MG do? She just camped out under the chairs and umbrellas next to us. They belonged to someone else mind you. Someone else who also paid $25.00 that day for the shade MG was "borrowing" for free. How do you explain to a one year old that we didn't pay for that shade so we can't use it? Mom and I finally decided we were going to rent the chairs and umbrella. Then along came my jellyfish encounter. After that, we changed our minds. Off to the pool we went. The pool...you know the one with free chairs, umbrellas, shade and no sea creatures?
