Memorial Day Weekend Part 2

Sorry for the delay, these pictures were taken from Matt's phone so I had to wait until I got a chance to get his phone before I could post.

Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend Matt's siblings all had to get back to their daily lives but we were able to stay in Gulfport. We were lucky to have some friends of ours come over to Gulfport as well. Jayce, Emily and their son Cohen joined us Sunday afternoon. We played in the pool and the after supper we took the kids to the beach.

I have to admit I wasn't that excited about the beach, I'm not a big sand fan and with toddlers there is always crying over salt or sand in the eyes.... Needlessly to say it was also the Mississippi beaches that aren't something to get excited about. But I was gratefully surprised at how nice of a trip it was! Our kids love the sand and Cohen had never been to the beach. We went out around 7:00 pm which was great because it wasn't dreadfully hot and the tide was out so the kids were able to walk out a good ways onto the water. The waves were calm and just perfect for our little ones! 

We played for about an hour and a half and the only way we got them away was talk of icecream!

Cohen was practicing for Baywatch most of the time, he loved running in the waves! Mattie Anne loved that she was able lay down and get her hair wet! Lyons liked the sand for the first half but then ended up having a great time in the water as well. I obviously wasn't prepared for that based on a photo of his diaper you can see below. Evans had a great tome in the breeze taking it all in!

I have several pictures below of the beach fun! 

We didn't take pictures of our Monday adventures but we took out the boat and played lots more in the pool!

It was a great time! Emily has much better photos on her blog page if you like to see more!

We had a great full memorial day weekend with family and friends!
