THE perfect day (monday)

 i know i've said it, but my parents were unbelievable at making us all so welcome and making everything so special! fun pancakes for breakfast!

 my mom took us girls by the CUTEST shop in town.

 and then we spent ALL DAY at the beach. the weather was so perfect - warm enough to be in the water, but you barely even broke a sweat. low humidity. it was unreal.

 happy boy

 this guy spent HOURS trying to catch little minnows.

 and he warmed up to the water :-)

 found the "perfect" shell...and gave it to rebekah because "she loves shells"

 beauty

 sawyer begged anyone and everyone to help him "catch fish" :-)

 wonder where she gets that from? ;)

 bailey came up with this whole attraction to be dug. hot tub, pools, water slides. it was intense.

 LOVE.

 that night, the siblings went out and my parents watched the kids!!

 they spent their whole evening on the golf cart - got dinner, and ice cream.

 all our kids slept in this room. on air mattresses (except levi slept in a closet). thanks to our LONG days...they slept til 8ish every morning!

 we went out to dinner and had SO much fun!

 then decided to drive by krispy kreme just to see if the "hot now" sign was on?? it was!!!

 and it was worth every bite!

it was such a perfect day...start to finish!
