Our Memorial Day Weekend

We went to the bay for Memorial Day weekend. We got there Friday afternoon and Zachary wanted to immediately go out and play in the sand. Even though it was blazing hot Jason is such a good dad that he went out there with him to build sand castles.
Saturday morning we took Addison in the water for the first time. She's been in a swimming pool but not in the salty bay water. She loved it. Didn't mind the saltiness of the water at all. She seriously thinks she can swim on her own because she really didn't want to be held that much.
Later in the day Martin and Jason helped Zachary build some more sand castles. This is only part of them. I don't know if you can tell how red Zachary's face is. It amazes me how little kids don't even think about how hot they are. He was so red and sweaty and it didn't phase him a bit. Jason talked him in to getting buried.
On Sunday Martin took the four of us out in the boat to Sand Island. It was Addison's second trip in the boat. The first time she was a infant and slept most of the time in her carseat (we drove the boat down to Lulu's for lunch one day). She really enjoyed Sand Island. We put her in this floatie and it would have been perfect for her to just float around and take in the sights but she did not want to stay in it. She saw her brother having so much fun with Daddy and Pop that she wanted out of it. Her hair looks super greasy because she won't keep a hat on her head so we had to slather her head up with sun tan lotion.
Unfortunately I must have touched the lens with a wet finger so a lot of the pictures from Sand Island are smudged in the middle.
Here Addison is on the deck of the house.

That looks like a wonderful weekend! I love the picture of Addison "swimming." She's a girl after my own heart--my mom swears my first sentence was "I do it myself." :)
