Seaside!

We just returned from our 2nd annual after Christmas trip to Seaside with Carolyn, Jerry and his family. It truly is the perfect way to end a pack filled vacation. You have no other choice but to relax! The weather was truly horrible (minus our last day!) with side ways rain, a wind storm and hail so we spent the majority of our time inside going to the pool, reading, playing games and of course eating! Maddie ended up having to go to the walk in clinic while we were visiting- she ended up having a double ear infection- it really didn't dampen her spirits until the doctor told her she couldn't go into the pool anymore. Being the greatest parents ever we of course still let her go in...shh...don't tell the doctor :) Honestly though, she doesn't get her head wet so we figured it wouldn't hurt her all that much. On our last night in Seaside Dave and I, Paul and Senna and Mindy and Randy went out to our favorite bar- Dundee's! Let's just say we had a great time and that Senna and I walked away as the champions of shuffle ball for the 2nd year in a row....

Here is what most of our days looked like.

But this one day made it all worthwhile! Absolutely breathtaking!

Each of the girls got some spending money to shop with. This is what Maddie came home with :) I love the socks she put on him!

The highlight for the girls was that they had a t.v. in their room! It only played DVD's but they were as happy as can be! They were even more thrilled when we said they could eat their dinner on the bed!

Here's Maddie AKA Cheetah girl ready to hit the pool! We spent HOURS at the pool watching the kids swim but ironically I didn't take any pictures while they were swimming.
