Baeden took off running for the waves and never stopped. He loved when the waves would splash up and knock him down. He laughed once he caught his breath and was back chasing down the next wave. Braxton on the other hand was convince that there was a shark waiting in the waves and remained ashore. It didn't help that it was shark week on the discovery channel.
Let's build a sand castle!
Braxton found a crab and built a little pool for his new pet.The only prblem was that he had to keep his brother from trying to eat it.
Day 2
On our second day at the coast, Braxton found his love for fishing. While Baeden napped in the car, the rest of the family tried their luck at the poles. Braxton practice casting and reeling. The most action we got was feeding the shrimp to the little crabs. Braxton fell in love with fishing and we had to go back every day and let him try to catch the big one.
When Baeden woke up from his nap, we returned to the beach. This trip was even better than the first one. Braxton finally went into the deep waves and Baeden ran up and down the shore. The boys took turns burying each other in the sand. Later mommy had fun trying to get the sand out of every nook and cranny of their little bodies.
Day 3
Finally, Sunday had arrived and it was time to return home. Braxton was devastated. He actually wanted to live in our hotel room FOREVER! Of course we stopped to fish one more time and took one more picture stop at the helicopter.
The ride home was a bit louder than the ride to the beach. The boys just didn't want to leave and sit in the car for the 3 hour ride home. We stopped for icecream at the golden arches, but once the cone was gone, they were fussy again. Even Happy Feet couldn't satisfy. All in all, it was such a great weekend. We are busy planning our return. Braxton still asks to go fishing each night before bed, and daddy can't seem to convince him that the ocean is not in our backyard.
