Mommy, Eden, and Jude on the Dolphin Express

Building a sandcastle

On the Dolphin Tour!

The Beach!

Dean and I took the boys to the beach this past weekend. We stayed at a hotel right on the beach, but the boys wanted to spend most of their time in the pool! They did dig in the sand quite a bit, and played "sand monsters"- a game where we had to bury their legs and feet and they would break out and stomp around and roar at us. Like monsters. They also chased the waves in and out, and each time a wave crashed in as they turned to run there was a look of mixed excitement and fear on their faces. They really enjoyed it. And even though I was a crazy person about putting sunscreen on them they both managed to get a little tan. On Saturday we went on a dolphin tour and saw some dolphins jump behind our boat in the waves. The boys got a bit bored between the dolphin sightings though.
It was a really good trip, especially since it was so unexpected and last minute. I got spoiled having Dean around so much though, now I miss him even more! I love you, Dean!

The Garden

We made a garden! Dean and Eden picked out all the plants and seeds at Home Depot. We got dirt and stuff to build the garden box. Jude wasn't much help since he was busy playing with a puppy he met at the Home Depot named "Chico". The dog's owner even let him walk the dog around for a bit and Jude was very happy. When the dog's owner said "You can have the dog but you have to come home with us! Say bye to your mommy" Without hesitation Jude turned to me and said "Bye Mommy!" I guess he still has a thing or two to learn about strangers....
But the garden is great. The boys want to water it ALL the time. It will be a neat summer project. Hopefully we will be able to eat some of the things we grow, and maybe have a pumpkin or two for halloween of our own.
