the 5 S's

Although different than the 5 S's we thought this month would bring, we had a fantastic time at the beach last weekend.  Three and a half glorious days of sun, sand, sea, sleep, and stories.  Mike's parents treated all of us to a long Columbus Day Weekend vacation.  It was just perfect.  After a month or more of rainy days, we had the perfect blip of three gorgeous, sunny, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky days!  And we loved getting to see his siblings and their families!

We arrived late on Thursday night.  The next morning, we didn't find Peter in his bed.  Mike searched the house and finally found him here... sleeping with Liam... hilarious!  Do you think they were happy to see each other?!

....Lots of pictures from the weekend!....

This little love and I went to the beach just the two of us one afternoon.  She wanted to sit on my lap.  So we sat there, we two, Lily and me.  Just sat there, held pink dogs, and soaked in the sun.  

The kids hadn't seen Ski and Kathy as much recently with them helping her parents.  So they were in love with the concentrated time with Pop and Gram!

The water was chilly but not too cold.
Mike and Matt surfed!
The kids definitely enjoyed the water and waves!
FUN cousin play time!

Mike, Lily and I went for a walk.  (Pete went in with the rest of the crowd.) 
the girl was a sleepy one when we got back... 
 After naptime, 
 more beach fun!
and finishing the day with a family pictures.
(its starting to get cloudy at the end of our third day)

 The last morning, we called and got an extended check out time and went to play more... 
 running up and down this walkway
and with the sand fiddlers!
 and in the waves...
Thank you, Kathy and Ski!  We loved every minute!
