Airshow and the Beach!

There was an airshow a few Saturdays ago about 30 minutes away from here. So, we packed up the car and drove out. Brody absolutely loved it. He liked to see all the huge machines, but was wary at first of going on them. He quickly got over his fear and started climbing all over any helicopter or airplane you could throw at him.

Not only did he get to go on lots of amazing machines, but we got to watch some parachutes and a little bit of the stunt jets. It was a little boys paradise.

So, Brody and I just got back from a fun filled trip to West Palm, Florida with John's aunt Donna and cousin Jen and her two boys Buddy and Eli (or John-John or Eli-John). The boys are 3 (Eli) and 5 (Buddy) and they are all boys. There may have been three adult women on this trip, but there was a whole lot of little boy testosterone pumping through the air!!

We went out to lot's of different places. One of the places we went to was a marina and watched a huge yaght getting docked. They LOVED seeing that.

We, of course, went to the beach. The weather was really nice. It was in the upper 70s for most of our trip and sunny. So, we could play on the beach without jackets but still stay cool.

Buddy made some beautiful sand castles and then they were promptly destroyed by the three boys. What else should you do?

Eli thought it was great to bury his feet and then fling his feet and loads of sand up into the air. So, we sat and did that for a long time.

There were many other ventures to playgrounds (some with two story slides and others with views of the beach) to the mall, to see a loggerhead sea turtle museum with live turtles of all ages and a pool at the house. It was great. Thanks so much to aunt Donna for opening up her home to us and we can't wait to see Jen and the boys again soon!
