Spring Break Beach Style

 To begin spring break we took a trip to Caspersen Island to hunt for shark teeth.
 Messy hair don't care.
There's a hole in your bucket, dear Liza.
 Adam hunting in the surf.
 Playing frisbee with dad.
Adam also made sure to bury himself.
 Grace with the beachy hair.

 Jacob thinking he has won the tiniest shark tooth contest.
Braving the frigid Florida water in March.

We tried to snorkel for sand dollars but the water was too cloudy from the storms.
It was a great day at the beach.

Spring Break Mountain Style


 We took a trip to North Carolina to catch the last weekend of skiing.
 Adam found out he prefers skiing to snowboarding and got to ride the lift this time.
The skiers, Brian opted to be the photographer.
Jacob clapping that I didn't fall down.
I am not sure if this is a look of worry or the sun is in my eyes
Merry and Jacob in front of us.
 Eliza took some lessons but has decided that she is a snowboarder not a skier.
Grace is actually skiing in this picture the zoom just doesn't show it.
 Full smiles ahead.
Jacob posing or something like that.
Eliza with hat hair.
 After waking up at 4:00am flying to South Carolina then driving up in the mountains straight to the ski resort and skiing for 5 hours we finally checked into to cabin.  The view was amazing.
Not that Grace and Eliza noticed it they were too worn out.
After an afternoon nap we went back to skiing for a few more hours.
We skied until they were lifting up the chair lifts for the night.
Check out the happy faces.
 Saturday morning we went on a hike to see some waterfalls.
 Jacob and Brian looking very pleased to be standing on a rock.
Jacob and Merry came well prepared.  Jacob pack a bag of goldfish.
Merry brought a book.  I think you can tell how much they want to go.
 Adam next to a budding rhododendron.  I would love to visit when the mountains are in bloom.
Grace examining the buds.
Eliza climbed down to see the stream.
The problem was she couldn't climb back up.  Fortunately, Jacob rescued her.  Unfortunately, she had to abandon her stream poking stick.

Happy Birthday Adam

Happy 9th birthday to Adam.
He was by far the quietest baby but he is making up for it now.
He loves facts of all kinds, especially about animals that will eat you or anything beyblade related.
He is still super sweet and comes in to say I love you every night before bed.
 
 He doesn't love taking pictures, it is very close to physical torture.
 Papa was here for his birthday and brought some birthday cake peeps which we use to decorate his cake with.
 It is a thumbs up from Adam who will ingest sugar in any form.
A very dramatic birthday candle blow out.
We love our sweet, handsome Adam.
