A couple weeks ago we were SO LUCKY and got to go spend four wonderful days with Kevin's family in Ocean Shores. Thanks to some amazing family friends (thank you Gregg family!) who lent their beautiful beach house to us, we were all able to stay under one roof. Kevin, the kids, and I met up with Kevin's parents Wednesday night and then his brother's family came in the next night. While things can certainly turn crazy in a second with kids aged 1, 2, (almost) 3, and 4, it was such a fun time! It was really exciting to watch the three older ones really play together. Up until now they have always played next to each other but not together. This weekend was full of games and make believe though. :) I see many years of fun times like these to come!
The trip did have many a challenging moment however, as both of our kids were sick with colds. Kyan got one the day before we left and Mckinley woke up at 3am our first night yelling "something's wrong with my nose!" So they were a little on the crabby/needy side to say the least! Even that couldn't spoil a fun weekend though. And it is ALWAYS awesome to get to spend four whole days together!
Thank you so much B&D for making this all happen, and thank you again Gregg family for so generously sharing your home with us-we'll take you up on that offer any time! :)
Here are the very few beach pictures I took...
By the title of this post you can tell this is our first beach trip of the summer. We have a different beach trip planned for later this summer...stay tuned!
