kinda funny that the title would have the word waterbabies in it and no pictures of babies in water but that's kinda how it goes. mike and i are too busy trying to reign in our crazy babies in the water that there's no actual time for taking photos of them. but we have pictures of them in their suits. and that's pretty cute on its own.
we went to the beach for a night with last week's team and it was great. great to get away from normal life. great to give the kids something to do other than play in and around our house. great to soak up some vitamin D while doused in sunscreen and splashing in pools. sometimes traveling to the grocery store is a pain in the butt with two kids so traveling overnight is generally a monumental disaster, but this time it was quite pleasant.
landon remembered this resort had this fun little (very under equipped) play area because of our friends' jackie and alan, whose wedding was here. the kids probably played in these three tomatoes for 45 minutes to an hour while mike and i sat on the swings and talked. i love accidental conversation with my husband.

emi was a big 'ol mess at the pool. in the south, mess is a funny phrase for she was hysterically fun. she's never really swam in a big pool before and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. she also thought it was fun to run around the pool's edge driving her mother half insane thinking she was going to inadvertently fall in and then run away as soon as i got within inches of her. yeah. super fun.
but the girl is pretty cute in a bathing suit and sun hat. so i forgave her.
landon was a riot. eating like a pig, poolside, and swimming around in the floaty that we actually bought for emi. he was in rare form adoring all the teenagers that were around and soaking in the extra attention. but mostly he clung to his daddy. thinking he was pretty cool and pretty big for being able to float around by himself.
and yes, he is standing on one foot while drinking a banana mama. the kid's got skillz.
besides a ridiculous fever, body aches and chills that took over my body that night, our trip to the beach was a huge success. i had waves of feeling ok, enough to enjoy the time with my family and marvel at the fact that our two kiddos are getting so big. i feel like i'll be handing landon our car keys soon. that's just scary.
