GranDeb is about an hour away from the beach so we had to take advantage and take the kids. It was their first time seeing the ocean and they had mixed reactions.
Gabby loved it! She was so excited and danced to, in and around the water. She would have been all the way out in the big waves if we had let her. Peter was impressed with the waves at first and said “cool” but when it came to actually putting his feet in the water he said no way. He didn’t like the way the water pulled the sand out from under his feet and made him feel like it was going to pull him out too. But he loved playing in the sand and had fun digging and building.
Michael of course loved the ocean too and had to get out in the big waves and play. As for me…I’m with Peter! I have some phobia issues with the ocean. I tried doing a little wadding, literally just up to my ankles, maybe calves and then something touched my foot and I was done. I just can’t handle not being able to see what I’m walking in. I guess no romantic walks on the beach for this girl. :)
Nope, can’t do it Dad. Just a Daddy-Gabby thing. ”I wanna go back to GranDeb’s.”
“Oh my gosh, this is amazing, I just can’t believe it, this is awesome!!”
Had to take a picture of the yellow Monster Minivan.

Just your average story. Girl meets boy, girl and boy fall in love and get married. They have a simple, quiet life then girl and boy decide to start a family. It feels like that�s where our story really gets interesting because it�s hard to remember life before kids. My husband, Michael, and I have been married since 2002 and live in NW Arkansas with our two amazing and slightly crazy kids, Gabby and Peter Michael. This blog is all about our daily, weekly, or monthly lives depending on how up to date I keep it. I�m a stay at home mom so of course there�s the average craft, etc along the way. Enjoy!
