My parents joined us for a Port A getaway! We stayed at the kitschy A Laughing Horse Lodge, which had a bunk bed for Lydia (Gloria was in a p&p in my parents' room). While the guys were night fishing Lydia went to sleep supposedly on the top bunk, but we found her she was zonked on the bottom, there was no way I was going to get her 40 lbs up so I took the top and Caleb has a sweet little surprise for him on arriving back!
The guys fished some, we all enjoyed time on the beach, at the birding center, dinner at Seafood & Spaghetti Works, mom & I with the girls toured the new UTMSI wetlands, it was super hot but interesting, we also stopped by the SHARK three times!! We also had snacks of Oreos and Cokes (Lydia's first Sprite was at almost 4 and Gloria is already drinking the good stuff at 2!) There were just so many great photos and memories to chose from.
Two years ago Lydia and did this same thing-to the toppest! Gloria stayed with Nana digging away while we climbed. It was fun to go to the beach in the evening for a change and see the sun set. 
The Shark.....
Enjoying wildlife viewing and a picnic at fiery landing. Always good for a dolphin spotting.
Family castle building (fortunately the guys didn't fish the whole time so we had some Daddy time on the beach). And lots of beach time overall. Once with Nana we sat under the pier so we had shade the whole time and enjoyed watching some crabs be caught. Nothing is much better than floating in the waves while watching your children run with joy on the beach-movie moment!
The morning we left, my parents stayed at the hotel and we took a quick family trip to the beach. Lydia took this picture and it makes me smile!
