Daddy's Five Days...

We are a shift worker's family. Some of you can relate I'm sure. Dean works three different shifts and he is off certain days of the month. Well, around here we look forward to those days off, especially in the summertime when we are all home. And we really love his five days off! This summer we have tried to do different things when he is off. So the past few days we have spent some quality family time together. I love it!
We went to the beach on Monday. Everybody loves going to the beach. Okay, not quite sure Sophia loves it yet. But I do think she is getting there. She doesn't scream and cry anymore when her feet touch the sand! She will actually walk in it, sit in it and play in it now. We didn't get to stay quite as long as we wanted because of the storm that blew in but that's okay, there is always another day!








These boys love the water!



Sophie was amazed at the jets that kept flying over. "Hairpain" she kept saying and pointing. Then she would say "Where'd it go?" She would get so excited!







Madison was sporting her 'Stellan Will Live' bracelet.

My view from my rearview mirror on the way home. They were zonked!


Yesterday we did Busch Gardens again. You know when you have season passes to Busch Gardens and Water Country you have to make several trips there! And I think yesterday was like the hottest day ever! I'm thinking we should of went to the water park instead. Actually, we were minus one child yesterday. And Connor did go to Water Country yesterday with a friend. But we had fun despite the heat. We even got in a little shopping time and a nice dinner at The Olive Garden.




Don't think she likes to get too close!

Aw, look at big sis riding with her little sis.

Braeden had the right idea! He was getting cooled off!


Sophie liked the horses. Sometimes she will get on a ride and not want to get off!



Sophie was just about to start crying here. I took the picture real quick. Then she started crying for daddy.

So Daddy had to get on and ride beside her!




Family time is great! I think we created some good memories these past few days!
