Beach Bumming!

We just had a wonderfully lazy vacation on 30A.  Not sure why we came back.  :(

Day One at the Beach

Riley was excited to show off her ridiculously frilly bathing suit!

Look at the camera bee boo!

Shepard's impromptu "wagon" to cart his stuff to the sand:

Shepard couldn't wait to get in the water, even though it was a brisk and refreshing 60 degrees in the surf.

Have to warm up!

Riley wisely preferred the warm sand...

Nap time!

After her nap, Riley "helped" Shepard dig for crabs:

Little strawberry!

Ending the day with a little dining al fresco!

Day Two at the Beach

Riley modeling yet another ridiculously frilly bathing suit!

Ready to go!

Shepard had a great time digging holes...

Making sand castles...

And again, playing in the chilly April surf:

Meanwhile, Riley enjoyed another beach nap...

Day Three (not at the beach)

The third day of our trip had an unexpected start...  Our poor boy had a horrible asthma attack, possibly from exhausting himself with all of the beach time fun.  So we had to take him to the ER, where he was rushed right back for treatment after showing an O2 saturation of 84%.

As usual, the steroids perked him right up.  However we decided to take it easy for the rest of the day!

Riley played on the screened in porch as we waited for Shepard and Daddy to return from the hospital...

Yay!  Sheppy's back!

Playing outside...

Family selfie!  Yay for beach vacations!

Easter Part Two

We took the kids out for some wildflower pictures while they were still all dressed up.  

Riley's getting pretty good at sitting...  She only fell over this one time, much to Shepard's delight!

Shepard wasn't in the mood to sit in the flowers.  We didn't torture him for long, and when we said we were done he was off in a flash!

After a quick change into play clothes we spent some time on the playground, where Riley enjoyed her first ride on the swing!  Shepard of course stayed close by to make sure she was ok.
