ab trip - may 15-25, 2009

Finley and I got to go to Atlantic Beach with my family in mid May. Sarah drove her car and Finn and I rode with her. On the way there we met up with my Mom and my Grandparents. We had a nice little reunion and a HUGE meal there. I ordered fried chicken and mashed potatoes. They gave me half a bird and 5 pounds of potatoes! It was wonderful!

Finley and Paka outside of the Farmer's Market Restaurant.

They had old tractors and wagons that the kids could sit on. Finley doesn't look very happy in this picture, but he was very excited to get to sit on the tractor...and he was very tired from our trips.




Bama and Paka reading Finley a book that they got him.


Looking at a magazine with Grandma "Mama".


Who did this to my child?


Finley loved lying on Bama's lap.


We were able to find a Popeye movie one night (an old favorite of Grandpa's) and here he is watching it. Look at how enthralled he is!


Finley at the aquarium at the beach.


Aunt Deah helping Finn sit on a giant frog.


Finley looking in the alligator's mouth.


The shark exhibit. There were some really big ones in there!


The biggest shark in there.
Finley's first taste of Beaufort's best ice cream...a family tradition each year.
Grandpa and Finley playing in the sand.

Grandpa would try and build a sandcastle and Finley would knock them all down.


Cool dude!

Grandpa and Finley going to wash off. Finley was pretty scared of the water at first.

The morning that Bama and Paka had to leave they came over to our apartment to say goodbye. As soon as she walked in the door, Finley and Chloe gave her hugs and climbed in her lap. It was a sweet moment.
Bama and Finley clapping.


Laughing...
Goodbye picture.


Bama and Chloe.

Just 2 beach bums relaxing in the sun. Loved Chloe's bathing suit.


Finley in another sand hole.


Becky and Chloe lounging.


Finley ended up loving the water slide. He would point to it and say "Ess?" over and over until you took him down.


Loving the water!


Chloe trying to walk with Becky.


Chloe and Jason.


Going down the slide for the first time. I was excited, but Finley has no expression even though he loved it.


Floating in the tube.


Chloe and Becky. Holly got Chloe a pink Beaufort shirt and Finley a blue Beaufort shirt. We tried to get a picture of them in their shirts, but neither one was cooperating.


Grandma and Grandpa got Finley this Tonka truck to play with on the beach since "every other little boy on the beach had one" =)


Grandma and Finley the night before we left. It wasn't such a sad time to leave since we knew we were going to be back in about 3 weeks.

I don't know this person. Holly actually went in the airport dressed like this! =)
Finn sleeping in Aunt Deah's car on the way to the beach. He was beat!

Jumping in the huge hole Grandpa made for him on the beach.

Holly was making faces at Finley trying to make him laugh. He loved it!
