Busy weekend

We left Friday night to go to Jacksonville and visit Randy's family for the weekend. What is normally a 5.5 hour drive turns into about 6.5 hours with two little kids, but we got there with very little trouble

On Saturday, the boys all went golfing while I went to visit with Malinah and our new nephew, Brayden. He is so tiny and such a sweet little boy! I took some pictures on him while I was there. On Sunday, we went to the beach for a little while and had a great time. Ethan LOVED playing in the sand but refused to put his feet in the water. It was very cold and the water was choppy so we think he was just afraid of the waves coming. It was Jake's first time at the beach and he hated sitting on the dry sand, but when we put him on the wet sand he was happy. He felt the sand in his hands and feet and tasted a little. Not too bad, a little gritty.
Randy's brother, Matt, played in a baseball game in the afternoon so we watched him play the second half. We decided to leave at 8:30 on Sunday so that the kids could sleep in the car like they did on the way down. We realized that the drive back is not a good idea at night because we are tired from the weekend and it makes it a long drive back. It doesn't help to get pulled over 10 minutes from the finish line. Ugh. Just a warning at least :)

  1. I saw the first picture and thought: when did they go up to New York and see Uncle Steve? Gotta admit that Randy's father looks a good bit like him in that photo.
