Summer Vacation in a million and one pictures!

Well, we are home from our vacation. We had the time of our lives and enjoyed every single minute. Of course, the entire time is well documented by oodles and oodles of pictures. Of course, the biggest event was Drew turning 2! :) (if you knew how long it took him to master the art of 2 fingers....)
My love bug, Luke. He told me today "Mommy, did I ever tell you how much I love you? Well...it is to the world and back." Ahh.....I love him!

My boy, his Papa and his Papa's camera.
Me and my loves.
A 3 generation pic...everyone looking a different direction, but hey, we tried!
Luke found (and brought home) a ton of rocks. He thought they were true treasures.
A family picture
Drew and I
Nothing sweeter.
Papa
Luke and his Daddy

Love this picture
John, showing Drew where all the sharks and fish are (he has a deep love for sharks!)
So, on day 2, Jett, Rin Rin, Lila, Anne Marie, Kel and Ethan came back and we had a full day at the beach. Jett started off so clean....just wait and see how he ended up!
Drew was happy while eating and playing games with "Ama" he still wasn't loving the sand and the water
Papa and Lila spent some quality time together...they ended up napping most of the day!
And she sunbathed a bit...
Luke was so excited about going to the beach and being able to wear a wetsuit. I think he thought he was really going to surf...well, silly boy barely went in the water. By midday I convinced him to change into something a bit cooler.
It is amazing how much time they can spend digging, digging, digging.
So, here is Drew at the start of the day.....yep, hating the sand.
ok, it is getting a bit better....
venturing out a bit.....
And finally!! enjoying the good ol surf..... :)
He loved it (as I knew he would...)
so, like I said earlier...Jett enjoyed the sand...it was in every crevice of his little body...
Cute pic of Luke, right? Well he is posing for Raquel's camera...I just happened to catch it. I can barely get the boy to smile normal for me....she pulls out a camera and he was posing all over the place. Figures!
The final day we spent on a long hike to pier....
A kids paradise...a playground right on the beach
Here is where Drew really scares me. He climbed up the slats of the pier so fast....monkey!
Luke, surveying the ocean
Drew loving every minute of it
Luke loved watching the surfers. He asked John if he needs to be 30 to surf....hopefully not.



We stopped at the end of the pier for lunch. By this point, Drew was out. Of course, he had his little hands tucked in...he has done that since he was born.
And no hike is complete without a stop for ice cream on the way home....
We had a great time! Thanks Momo and Papa...we can't wait to do it again!!!
