Farewell to Our Beach Buddies

For the past three summers, we have gone to Isle of Palms with our dear friends the Mousers (minus Brock who doesn't like the sand). This summer I didn't think we were going to make it. With all our traveling and my broken tailbone, summer had passed us by and school starts next week. But the Mousers are moving to Idaho on Friday (sob) and they planned one final trip to the beach, so we invited ourselves to join them!
Isle of Palms is the BEST family beach around.
It took Jalen a while to warm up. He was not loving the sand and the waves scared him. Plus he doesn't like wearing his life preserver.
Baylie, on the other hand, couldn't wait to rush into the waves. She was so excited to be back at the beach.
Apparently the mud scrub David subjected himself to also rubbed off all his sunscreen because he got fried.
As anyone who knows him can attest, David is a kid magnet.
 
Jalen was very much into the snacks and lunch (as usual).
He did eventually end up LOVING the water and we actually had to keep a close eye on him because he wanted to go farther and farther out.
Sand castle construction. (I think they had more fun with the destruction.)
 
It was a PERFECT day at the beach. I'm so glad we went.
We wore ourselves out! (Notice he still has a firm grip on the snacks.)
We'll miss you Mousers!

How is your tailbone? Mine is finally feeling better.

It's getting better. It still aches a little every day and still hurts quite a bit when I walk uphill or up stairs.

Brian does read my blog. He generally rolls his eyes at me about most of the content and he knows he's a grump so he doesn't generally care. I just have to avoid all subjects pertaining to his family or then he hears about it from his mom and I'm in big trouble.

I'm glad your tailbone is feeling better. I had no idea how bad they could hurt.
