The Zhao Family

Our last day, I think everyone was done with going to the beach so we decided the local pool. It was really good b/c at first Cayleigh didn't like the pool or cold water but after a few dunkings she was playing with the water. The boys on the other hand had to be stopped several times from taking other children's toys.











Someone had quite a workout and was very hungry.

After three incredible days at the beach house, it truly is a really nice vacation. Thanks to the Jewel family and friends for their great hospitality and love we were able to take our family for a short trip to the beach and enjoyed this great summer fun!

We hit the beach again on day two. It was more relaxing and we all just enjoyed the really nice weather and the sun!









Everyone's enjoying the beach. Cayleigh reads with mom, Brennan plays with new friends, Clayton plays with more sand, and I obviously is thoroughly enjoying and soaking up the sun.









Just before dinner time, we had some time to cool down and suddenly the boys broke into a pillow/body flying fight. Chris was great playing with the boys and taking care of Cayleigh.













We had an awesome bbq dinner that Casey cooked up. From one of the pictures above you see the trolley. It goes around town and quite enjoyable. So we are here sitting waiting for the trolley. As you can tell from the previous photo, the bus stop is right behind the house. The boys loved the ride and it only costed .25 ¢ !!! The area is very family oriented and very relaxing and quite.

Thanks to our church friend, Kay Jewel, she offered us to stay her beach at Bethany for three whole days! It was marvelous and boy did we have a great time! Not only was she there to host us but her daughter, grandson and two girls were there to help out playing with our kids the whole time at the beach and at the house! It was just awesome!! Thank you Kay, Casey, Nathalie, Imani, and Chris!!











So Cayleigh's not a big fan of cold water hitting her feet. Apparently I have traumatized the boys as well in that area where they won't get in the water either. The whole time we're at the beach, they played in the sand the whole time.







She much rather be held by everyone than to be held by me and put in cold salty water.


















After the beach we all get back to the beach house and everyone gets entertained. Everyone is over generously nice hosting us, entertaining the boys, and babysitting Cayleigh! You guys are the best!!!





















Later in the evening, we were shown a place called, FunLand just about 20 minutes north of where we were. It was an awesome area where the boys had a great time on rides after rides.

Here are some old photos while we're away. It's old but the boys deserve some posting credit.
