The Lovely Florida Keys....

After our week in JAX we headed to the Keys. Here is a slideshow of some of our pics of the beautiful water and Mallory Square (where we did all our shopping and site seeing). They truly live by the motto no shoes, no shirt, no problem! If it were up to Brady, the house would already be on the market and we would spend the rest of our life in the Keys.

JAX - Atlantic Beach

As promised, here are a few pics from our week at the beach house in Jacksonville.

AJ learned to boogie board this year. He actually did really well for only being 4 years old and he loved it! Well, except for when his timing was off and the waves knocked him off the board and into the water. But mommy and daddy were always right there to help him up. He even got what he called his first "surfing injury" when he scraped his back all up along shells while riding a wave in. He was so cute!












During the days the boys played on the beach building sand castles, looking for shells, and playing with cochina shells in the sand.

In the evenings we took walks on the beach as the sun was setting to enjoy the beautiful view. The boys enjoyed looking for and chasing the ghost crabs as they ran in and out of their holes.





Of course one of the best things about summer is eating summer treats. Look at these faces.... ones only a mother could love!

I mentioned in my last post that our cousins came in early to spend the day with us. Here are a few pics of the boys all playing together. They really had so much fun with them!
