Vacation Part 3

As promised, the last of the Vacation adventures...

Thursday was my Sister's birthday, so we start the day by all us girls going out to breakfast at a really great restaurant called "The Dunes". It was SO much fun and kinda nice to get away from the kids for a bit ;) While we were away, Ben got to go for a Treasure hunt with Chris, and our Cousins JD & Nick on the beach. It was actually JD's idea, he "buried" some treasure for Ben to find with all of his new cool pirate gear. It was TOO sweet, and one of Ben's FAVORITE things he did on vacation!! Thusrday night we had Turkey (I know ~funny huh?!?) for Erin's b-day dinner, it worked out great, with the amount of people that were there it was awesome! Then we had Yummy birthday cake & cupcakes!

Friday was our last day at the Beach :( We started the day by heading out to Brew Thru to get our annual shirts. Then we came back and went for a walk on the beach to pick up more seashells. We couldn't swim in the ocean, it was TOO windy & the lifeguards had the "no swimming flags up". Then we came back up to the house and the kids decided they wanted to go swimming in the heated pool. Since dadddy wasn't feeling good, Mommy got to freeze her hiney off watching them play in the pool. For dinner, we went to Kelly's restaurant & Tavern. We got our own special room and the kids behaved wonderfully!! Miss Emma fell asleep on the way to the restaurant and was asleep up until the bread came to the table (as some of you know, Emma is our carb Queen). Ben ate wonderfully especially after uncle Shaun let him use his crab claws as "food punchers". Ben used them to eat his chicken tenders ~it was quite a funny site :) All in all a wonderful trip. We went back to the Beachhouse and hopped in bed so we could get up early to head home.....
