Tuesday, May 26, 2009Well Eli is all better and we had a fun Memorial Weekend at the beach. Thanks to the Callahan's for inviting us. The kids loved being there with family, getting to hang out, going to the beach and having friends nearby. It took us a while to get there on Friday with all of the other families that were taking a beach trip for the weekend. It was a late night for the kids but they slept well and woke up very excited about getting to go to the beach. We had 
leisurely mornings with lots of powdered sugar doughnuts. We visited the beach each day with some time to play paddle ball, jump the waves and build sandcastles. Ella took a ride in Mr. Callahan's boat and loved the ride except when they kicked it up a notch and went fast. I wasn't on the boat with her but she filled me in on the trip. Landon was psyched out about the boat due to his sister's reaction to going fast and probably a little bit because Mr. Callahan had mentioned Landon driving the boat. He seems to be the most apprehensive about big steps or big responsibili
ties that he hasn't tried before. Ella and Eli would have probably loved to have held on to the steering wheel but with either of them they may have cleared the boat quickly with sharp turns or running aground. On Sunday our friend the Boytes came by for a quick trip to the beach before the cold wind and clouds moved in. The kids were all wrapped up and trying to picnic on the beach and finally we just called it and went inside. Shortly thereafter the sun came out again so we ventured to the Boyte's place and tried out the swimming pool. The cool water was quite surprising to the kids but they had fun. That evening we had a wonderful dinner with the Callahan's. On Monday we headed to the beach for one last bit of fun in the sun before a long drive home. The drive home was long and rainy but it was good to get back. The kids are getting settled back into the week and we hope you all had a great weekend.
