We have arrived at the beach. We've been here for about four hours, and the big boys have already been in the ocean and the pool, and we enjoyed our take-out hamburgers. Jakey just went down to bed.
I wish I had some pictures to share of all of the chaos that has already ensued, but I haven't managed to get that far yet. Hopefully the memory card reader I bought for this express purpose will work. If not, we're in for a long week of pictureless posts.
During the long car trip spread over two days, Nicholas was pretty perturbed.
Me: "Hey, boys. Tonight we're going to go a little farther than we'd planned, so guess what THAT means. It means we're going to spend the night in a HOTEL, and you've been looking forward to that for a long time."
Nathaniel: "Yea!!"
Nick: "WELL I HAVEN'T BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AT ALL."
And later ...
Me: "OK, boys. We're about to stop for supper. Let's eat at Chick-fil-A."
Nathaniel: "Yea!! I LOVE Chick-fil-A."
Nick: "I DON'T. I WANT TO EAT AT WAFFLE HOUSE."
And yesterday while at Grayson's sister's house ...
Nick [to Grayson's sister]: "Aunt Debbie, I have a present for you."
and then to Grayson: "AND NONE FOR YOU."
But as I said, we've arrived, and we just enjoyed the annual patriotic program put on by [loyal reader] Aunt Melanie. (Hi, Melanie!) I hope to have pictures of that shortly.
Happy 4th of July to all! Be back soon.
