Rocks?

Getting in a snuggle with his favorite puppy pal....

We were making brownies this morning, and little boy pulled up his stool by the mixer to "watch" aka pick out of the batter bowl ;-) 
I added the flours/cocoa mix.  He said Mmmmmm.  Then I added the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts from a bowl.  "Mom, are those rocks??"   It just cracked me up because earlier in the day he'd found someone's stash of "pretty rocks" smuggled in from outside. He put a few in his mouth and scared me...
Anyhow, just wondering what he's thinking....well, if mom bakes with rocks, why can't I eat them???  Oh, that boy causes quite a few chuckles around here =)

Go Cart Fun





 Audience
The boys

Joe got the go-cart running a few weeks back.  All the kids got to go for a couple rides, and loved it!  Jake got to drive it by himself and did great.  Emily drove it with Daddy riding on the back =)

FLORIDA

Ironically, FL being the sunshine state, we brought cooler weather & clouds down with us the first few days...
 BUT, we still had an awesome time and managed to get quite a bit of sun on our skin =)
 The kids LOVED the ocean, along with us adults =)
They were continuously digging in the sand and making sand castles that they loved watching getting washed away by the waves.
 Speaking of waves, I got WAY to many pictures of the waves, I just loved watching them and listening to them crash into us/ the shore!
 One such sandcastle being demolished by the sea =)
 Happy kids!
 Look at these shells!  A lot of the shells they found were broken, but we managed to find a few whole smaller shells.
James had the choice of a bucket and shovel or this digger and dump truck.....well, easy choice for a boy, huh?!
The resort had a lazy river and slide for the kids along with a kiddie pool area.  I didn't get too many pictures in the pool area...

A frozen boy. 


Sunny day view from our room!  The first few nights we had a 2 bedroom suite on the city side of the resort, but on the last night we got moved to a 3 bedroom with ocean view!!!! 
More waves ;-)
 
Sunset from our balcony on the last day. 
 
We all had a wonderful time, it was great to just relax by the beach.
