I was very worried about the kids being in the car for 5+ hours but they were little troupers. We had 3 portable DVD players, aquadoodles, crayons and coloring books, books, dolls, stuffed animals, snacks, lots of Elmo and Winnie the Pooh dvd's, sing along music.....
The best source of entertainment was my SIL Nicole and her little girl, Ella. Izzie LOVES her "Cole" and Ella. Izzie and Ella held hands whenever Iz got fussy. Those girls are way too cute.
We got the van unloaded and went straight to the grocery store for supplies and to get toys for the kids. This is where the kids got a little out of control. They were fresh out of self restraint and were in no mood to be placed in a grocery cart. But let me say, they were soooooo much better than I could've dreamed.
We went out to the beach for a little while when we got back and Jackson loved it, Ella liked it a lot and Isabel, well, she probably could've lived without it. She tolerated the beach that day but was disinterested after that.
Saying that Jackson loved it is an understatement. That kid smiled fron ear to ear the entire time and had to be physically restrained from running right in to the ocean. He is fearless! He was knocked down by a wave and stood up grinning from ear to ear. He was getting handfulls of sand and throwing it back into the ocean. He keeps me on my toes, that's for sure.
Thank you to Gan Gan for wanting to spend your birthday with your 3 grandbabies and their Mommies! We all had an amazing time!!!!!
