The beach bums are back. Ethan was a champ in the car. He got to learn about oatmeal cream pies, and hotels... two new favorites. We drove and drove through rain then finally spent a lovely week (sans rain) on the beach. Ethan hated the sand the first day, then would let it get in his flip flops, then decided he was good to go with bare feet. He followed Eli around like an annoying shadow, but Eli was a good sport. Vacation with Nana and Pawpaw is about as good as it gets.

Eli did teach Ethan to play hide and seek, and Emily was around to remind Ethan that he wasn't the baby any longer. It was a good eye opener for what siblings are like. No, I am not pregnant. Again, if anyone mis-read... NOT PREGNANT. Don't start any rumors.
What else, what else. Ethan was the ONLY one to catch a fish from the beach. Shaun casted for 3 hours... Ethan cast only once. Shaun, Matt and Dad did go on a fishing excursion. Shaun and Matt caught some Snapper and Makrel, Dad caught the bubble-guts. Shaun said he was reduced to one-word sentences. Sorry dude.

I don't know why some of these pics are smaller than others.

We did have a nice restful week and enjoyed seeing Ethan enjoy himself.

Talk soon, E
