Tucker and Macy's FIRST BEACH TRIP! They both love the water. Love is an understatement for Tucker. You literally could barely pull him out of the water. It all started the first day - we had just arrived, and I thought it would be a good idea to take Tucker down to the beach and get him acquainted. What I did not realize is that he wouldn't be scared. Not in the LEAST. He squealed, and giggled, and played in the sand, and tried to dive into the waves, and couldn't wait to get completely wet, and wanted the waves to totally overtake him. The bigger the wave, the better. Guess he doesn't quite get the concept of undertow just yet!
The thing I will remember most about this first experience is him yelling (regardless of wave size) "Here comes a BIG ONE!" He is so stinking funny.
So let's move on to Macy moo moo. She adores the beach as well, albeit in a much more fabulous way. See below:
See? Superfab. She also spent a little time in the water, and when she got tired, she napped in a private tent under the big tent. She was definitely in her element.

He helped himself to apples from the cooler, and relaxed with a tall cold glass of apple juice. I think he got more relaxation out of this trip than anyone else.
Lee and I got lucky because we have two kids that travel really well. Aside from me having to crawl into the backseat to feed Macy, or changing Tucker's DVD on demand, they both traveled 4 1/2 hours each way without incident. We even all went shopping at Foley on the second day for several hours, and both kids really enjoyed themselves! Tucker got a new hat, Macy ate and took a nap...it was lots of fun. Great family time for just me, Lee and the kids.
But we can't forget about DeeDee , GeeGee, Hunter, Hannah, Aunt Bebop and David! We all went to The Hangout the first night - Tucker loved loved loved the chips and cheese, and Macy was mesmerized by the DJ playing all kinds of music, including YMCA.
We ended the trip with the quintessential pictures in white shirts on the beach. I love the way they turned out. Every family needs a set of these pictures. Enjoy:
DeeDee and GeeGee, we had a GREAT time! Can't wait for next year!! Thank you!
