Savoring every moment here...

I cannot believe that we have been here for 6 nights already! We leave early on Monday morning and NONE of us are ready to go back to reality at this point.

Today was the beach, lunch out at Lock n Key and supper out at Sharky's.


The kids love the beach as much as the adults!



And guess what we saw at the beach today?



Here the kids and James are looking out to watch...





DOLPHINS!



They were SO close!








After nap time for the kids (except Tate didn't nap...shocker) AND the mommies, it was time to get done up (I even did Ava's hair and make-up) for an evening out to dinner at Sharky's!
Seriously, these 2 are so sweet together. They bicker like a married couple sometimes (truly, 90% of the time they get along amazingly!), but LOVE each other way more than they bicker...





And all 3...





The DeCooks just before we headed out...





And us too...





As usual, the sunset at Sharky's was gorgeous. There is something about watching the sunset over the ocean while smelling the sea air with people you love that just makes all your worries float away for a moment...








Oh, and I don't want to forget that between the beach and getting ready to go out, I gave Chloe her first haircut! How cute is that little bob on her?!!! I had to take a picture so you could see the back of her hair. I cut about 3 1/2 or 4 inches off!





And a fun raggae style band was at Sharky's tonight so some dancing did ensue...











We capped off the evening with a walk out onto the pier. The weather is so gorgeous, not too hot, but hot enough for it to feel tropical.





I am starting to get sad knowing that this trip is coming to an end! It's been such a fun, family trip for us and so exciting to know that Tate and Ava will likely have memories from this past week!
