after our wonderful 4th of July weekend in atlanta with the family, we drove to Gulf Shores, AL with nana and papa for a few days at the beach. richard and i had not been to the beach together since Costa Rica 3 years ago! the florida white sand was a total treat and with lots of sunscreen and breaks from the heat in the condo, we all had a great time.
brooks liked playing in the sand and "building" sand castles with daddy and papa. he said that he prefered the pool though and spent time everyday practicing his jumping and climbing the ladder. brooks also slept in a queen bed (bunk beds) for the first time and really loved it. he fell out once but didn't seem to mind!
kate proved to be a great traveller again - this picture is from the evening we got to the beach. she is sound asleep under a make-shift tent, as happy as can be.
brooks ready to go to the beach - he has become very eager and determined.
brooks's first round of mini-golf. this was the coolest place to be in the middle of the day because the course had so many shade trees. brooks made a hole in one all by himself on one hole and another with some help. now he pretends to play mini golf everywhere and shouts "hole in one!" after every pretend shot.
a little bit of heartbreak when the ball disappears after hole 18 - oops, i forgot that happened! had to whisk him on to something else very quickly.
thanks nana and papa for a great beach trip!
