There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. ~Washington Irving

The Big Weekend: Part 1

It's a big weekend. Andrew has four days off, I have a birthday, and of course it's Memorial Day weekend too. We started things off with a trip to Okaloosa Island right after breakfast.
The boys played in the sand a little. Then, they were ready for the water. It was clear and gorgeous. There are lots of things to love about the Emerald Coast and the water is a big one. 

 We saw schools of fish swimming by our legs. A seagull came by and dropped a present: a dead fish. Maddox and Jude were kinda fascinated and watched the poor fish float on by.


Jude hated the seagulls. He liked them at first, but when they swarmed the goldfish he had dropped in the sand, he freaked out. "Bird! Bird!" He yelled at them, spit at them, but still they grabbed the goldfish and ignored all his gestures.


After 2 hours, we called it a day. Sandy and a little toasty, we came home, all took a nap and then ate lots and lots of chicken pasta. And this.
This (banana peanut butter frozen yogurt) is heaven. But I'm never buying it again...or else I'd be 300 lbs.
And just because I didn't blog for a couple weeks, here are a couple pictures of the boys to catch you up on all their cuteness.
 It's just the usual. You know, driving cars...
...youtubin'....

...and growing out the 'fro.
