Last Beach Day

We went out first thing and the kids played some in the ocean and then we built a sandcastle...

Then while the kids were in the water, a group of birds flocked in and had a feast on the huge school of fish coming through. The closer toward us the birds came, the closer to the shore they would come... so here comes the lifeguard blowing her whistle making everyone get out of the ocean. So I guess you could say we could have had a shark attack! You know I like to fill it with drama!

We all went up to the hotel, showered, got snow cones, packed and went home! Well- of course we had everything packed, loaded down! We all grabbed the last of the bags from the room and Wayne took the trash out, we were all waiting at the door and when he came back in and went to shut the big metal room door and Ava starts wailing, her fingers were in the hinge part while the door was open. We thought two of her fingers were broken, they looked awful and she cried (screamed) for what felt like forever! So then we finally got down to the car loaded the rest of the stuff in, strapped all the kids in....

and realized we forgot to make the kids go to the bathroom....

so here we go again, unbuckling all of them tracking all the way back from the 3rd floor parking to the top floor of 20 where we were so lucky to be assigned. (The possibility of making it all the way up to the top floor without stopping at least 3 times does not exist) So we get back up there and Ava is still crying about her fingers, they all go to the bathroom and we remembered to get our washing detergent. Ava wanted to carry it, so the fingers were long forgotten! She held the detergent half way home, and talked to it and I think she was petting it!? So hooray for the Gain! (and it smells good too!)
