- While Coy and I were out boogie boarding with my sister and her husband we looked over and saw HUGE brown body and HUGE tail swimmimg directly next to us. We jetted out of the ocean, only to discover that it was a harmless (but giant) manatee. The little creature came back later in the day but we were on shore this time and got to follow him along the shore and see his head pop out of the water a few times.
- Coy and I spent a day at the beach by ourselves because the rest of the family was burnt and wanted to spend some time doing historical tours to let their burns cool. On our way to meet them for dinner I went into my parents bathroom and took some tylenol. Sitting at the restaurant a little while later I became unfunctionally tired. After a while of comtemplating this extreme exhaustion I realized that I had taken
nighttime Tylenol. For those of you who don't know, I do not handle nighttime medicines well. I don't quite recall much from that evening but my nap when I got home was pretty great.
- Coy taught my nephew Elliott to skimboard (there are photos below). He brought him his own skim board this year they were best friends all week!
- I got to eat some of my favorite foods: shrimp, calamari, crab, crab cakes, clams, fried pickes, and fried green tomatoes.
- We went out for ice ceam almost every night and I found a new favorite flavor. (which may be blogged about at a later time).
- I got sun poisioning ALL over my body. Although it wasn't painful, just a little itchy and annoying. When I got sun poisoning in Mexico it hurt so badly that I couldn't even be in the sun. This was not the case so I am grateful for that...but not so grateful for the nasty bumps covering my arms, chest, and legs.
My sisters and I with our dad!
On the last night Coy and I went down to the beach so he could
skim board one more time before we left!

All fourteen of us!
Experimenting with parenthood. Coy was a fan but he wasn't the one lugging this sweet baby around!
When my back got tired he only lasted about ten minutes before passing her off to someone else to carry!
Coy and I were usually ready to head to the beach before everyone else. So we would take the kids
along with us. They loved the ocean and the waves and were so much fun to watch play.
Sissies and our hubs.
Love my sisters!
Our last night at the beach! We ate at an amazing restaurant on the beach.

Beach beauties (or something like that)
I love this one! Coy is so great with Eve and loves getting his hands on her.
Setting up shop. We basically had the beach to ourselves! It was SO nice!

We had such a great week and can't wait for our next vacation (whenever that might be).
