Here is the sweet beach house we stayed in:
There were sandcastles like this all over the island. This particular one was at the end of our road. It made a nice landmark.
Naturally we had to get a picture with the welcome sign.
Yes, we are cool.
Cooper making friends with a pirate.

Walking to the end of the pier. It was beautiful! (Cooper green shoes, Bennett blue)
Bennett riding a dolphin!
Our new pirate friend. I am holding Cooper, Jason is holding Bennett.
A cool little lighthouse. We were all going to climb to the top, but then found out only 6 people could go at a time and it cost money. So Imy and Crystal took Kaylee and Jaxon up while the rest of us waited for them at the bottom.
Checking out this cool tortoise that was roaming free at the aquarium.
Kaylee checking out a sea turtle at the Sea Turtle Rescue Center.
Cooper left, Bennett right.
Cooper (held by Jason) and Bennett (held by me) thought the turtles were really cool. The kept pointing at them excitedly and tried to touch them. But no touching was allowed. The turtles at this facility are all injured and recovering. It's like a hospital for them. Most are released back into the wild once they recover. For some of them this is their permanent home because with their injuries they would not survive otherwise.
Bennett was having fun trying to feed this turtle through the glass. The turtle kept trying to take the lettuce but obviously couldn't. He got frustrated and ended up splashing/soaking both boys and myself with water. It was pretty funny. Poor Bennett got really embarrassed after that though and buried himself into my shoulder for a little while.

We, naturally, had to have a girls shopping trip. This is a tradition that we love!
I was trying on clothes at Motherhood Maternity. I found way too many things that I loved. It is so nice to get three extra opinions. It makes shopping so much easier. Thank you sisters and Imy!
Sarah looking for jeans in American Eagle. (I am sitting on a display since they had no benches for pregnant women)
Just chilling with all the bags while my sisters shop for some adorable clothes for their little girls.
Crystal and Sarah patiently waiting for me in the dressing room. Fun fact: Imy ended up buying the scarf in this picture for herself. Because she found it at a maternity store, she now calls it "Baby Girl's Scarf." haha. I love it.
My sisters helping me try on shoes since lacing them up is a little difficult with my big belly. They are the best!
Crystal with all of our spoils. When she was a teenager and we went to the mall, she insisted on carrying all of our shopping bags that had name brands plastered on them so people would see and think she was cool. We have never let her live it down and so obviously we had to get a picture with her carrying all of our bags. :)
While condensing our purchases to make it easier to carry, Sarah realized we had lost a bag along the way. Luckily there was only about $15 worth of merchandise in it, but it was still a very sad day.
On Saturday, we had to be out of the beach house by 11 am but our flight didn't leave until 7 that night. Since everyone else drove they had left us behind. Jason found a park for the boys to play at for a little while to kill time while I took a nap in the car.
