OC beach, scopes, mini golf, boardwalk and the wooden house

Here are some of our beach pictures.  Bradley LOVED this vacation with all of his cousins and keeps telling people “we went so many places” and he told Daddy his favorite part was spending time with Aubrey!

I will admit that it was hard not having Brad there to help.  My family did the best they could but having Gavin and Easton on the beach together at the same time was tricky.  Easton usually sleeps anywhere but only did once.  He learned how to scoot and dig his face in the sand and if I took my eye of Gavin for one second he was 5 beach umbrellas down digging in someone else’s cooler for a juice box iced tea! It really happened and they let him drink it!

It was far worth it for the memories and getting to be on the beach again with my grandma, aunt and cousin and brother like I did when I was a child.  So happy Bradley got to experience this also!

   Scopes are Dope! Unfortunately Olivia wouldn’t sit and pose like she normally does.  Gavin probably scared her away. 

Groovy GG on the beach!

Bradley called the beach house we rented the “wooden house” and he keeps asking to go back.   It was actually not clean to our standards so we would never go back but it just goes to show you that kids could care less! All he noticed was how much fun he was having and that he had more freedom from rules since it was vacation. 

Keith and my Bubba. 

CRABS!!! Yes, I finally indulged in this Maryland tradition.  It had been a while.  I actually kept it up the whole week.  I ordered crab cakes, crab soup and crab feasts everywhere I went.  I had to get my fix because who knows when I will again. 

Olivia took a special interest to Easton.  Gavin freaked her out how wild he was but Easton was happy and calm like her!

She is a sun bathing beauty!

Getting tickled by Livi and Aubs. 

Uncle Andrew with “Easty”

Unfortunately I was not blessed with good beach hair.  The elements are not my friend!

I have a picture of me when I was little with a golf ball in my mouth too.  The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. 

I got to experience The Fractured Prune donuts.  Heaven for breakfast!

This was our view from the top floor on 92nd street. 

Gavin rode his first rides!  He was nervous at first but then started to get into it. 

Bradley being brave in the front of the roller coaster. 

We did have Thrashers fries and Dumsters ice cream and Andrew and I went on a crazy ride called “Freak Out,” I couldn’t let the kids have ALL the fun!

That wasn’t all.  More to share from our beach adventure later.
