Beach fun

We had a great beach trip a few weeks ago.  One of our friends went with us (just in case you're wondering who the random girl in the pictures are).

These first ones are from Michael's favorite restaurant at the beach, Bubba Gump!  Besides the fact that they have good fried shrimp, it's his favorite because they have free refills on drinks.  That's a specialty here!  

One of the cutest things that this boy did at the beach was say that he could "stop the waves" and then do this motion of controlling the waves.  He did this for a good 15-20 minutes.  We just sat and enjoyed watching him, probably along with all the other people on the beach.

 

 Our kids are always having their pictures taken by random people.  These guys are trying to convince Tru take a picture with them.

Laughing and playing in the waves is always a highlight of our beach trips.  It does this momma's heart good to see such joy in his eyes and laugh.

 And this little one loves spending her time playing in the sand.

Truett is mad in these pictures because the waves were WAY to big and we wouldn't let him go in the ocean.  The waves were going almost all the way up to the wall that is the entrance to the beach.

 

 The last day, Paisley got braids in her hair and her toe nails painted.  She loved it!

 And Tru got two henna tattoos.

 These kids LOVE their daddy!

 And their mommy.

These pictures are from Michael's phone.

 Paisley loves posing!  Sometimes it's a little embarrassing . . . 

 We found some kids to play with on the beach.  Their dad was a worker on the beach, selling drinks.  I guess they just hang out with him at the beach all day.  So, Michael invited them on over to help build a sand castle.

 Isn't he handsome!!

Sometimes there are random people we meet who just want to speak English with us.  This was one of those times.  We met our friend at the airport on the way to the beach.  She was super friendly and went in to much of her life story.  She even bought the kids some candy while we were waiting for the plane.  She was supposed to be on holiday for a couple of weeks, but ended up cutting her trip short and was on the plane with us on the way home, too.
