Fun, fun, fun!

Not only did we celebrate Drew's baptism the weekend of June 1st, we also found some time for FUN with Aunt Wendy, Cousin Luke and Papa Butcher!  After spending most of the day at the house on Saturday, we decided to break out to enjoy the beach.  It's only a 60 min. drive - door to beach from our house....

"Hey Luke - wanna go to the beach today?"
"Sure Drew - do they have milk there?  If so - I''m in!"  :-) 

However, we had a bit of a dilemma when it came to transportation.  Ronnie and I drive a 5 seat SUV and with two car seats and 4 adults, we were short one spot.  Our options were to take two cars OR somehow fit.  Leave it to Papa Butcher to figure this one out and make it fun -- we all piled in like it was a clown car. 

When determining where to camp out when we got there, it was a no-brainer!  Of course we were going to head to Clearwater Beach and stop at the SandPearl Resort where Ronnie and I got married.  Such great memories from our wedding!  Dad and I even did a walk down the big stairs for old times sake :-)

 We ended up finding a shaded spot at Tate's Bar right on the beach.  Was great for the little boys because we had the big shade umbrellas and quick access to the bathroom for diaper changes.  It was great for us adults because we had quick access to drinks and live music :-)

Dad - I don't think I got your skin type...:-(

Same rock!

Lovin' the sun and spending time with Papa - he is so silly!

Drew's first day at the beach!

Luke took 'relaxing at the beach' to a whole new level!

Look at these two little beach bums! 

Aside from our fun adventure to the beach, Drew also had some fun with Papa Butcher showing him how he likes to look around.  We joke that he is going to be a basketball player at Iowa State one day and will be the star point guard because his head is on a swivel!  Well...  Papa thought he resembles a hawk, flying around looking for little mice.  Don't know where he gets these things but they are always so funny!

 

It was a WONDERFUL weekend and always such a treat when my family comes to visit.  I look forward to it SO much and each trip is so special.  Thank you Aunt Wendy and Papa Butcher for making the trip.  Drew and Luke are already best buddies just like their mommies are :-)  Love you guys so much!
