Fun Weekend

On Father's Day weekend we decided to head to Wilmington a little early so that we could let the kids have some fun at the beach. They had a great time, but Rachel and I were worn out because Eli wouldn't stay out of the ocean. He would run full force out there, let the waves mow him down, get up laughing and go back for it. It was making me very nervous. Emma was a little mother hen. Weighing in about the same as Eli, she thought she would hold on to him to keep him safe. It was very sweet. All in all everyone had a great time.

This is what happened when Leah discovered the terrible feeling of beach sand in your bathing suit. She was not thrilled!!

We also got fresh haircuts this weekend. We were getting ready for our big trip to Texas. This was actually Leah's first real haircut. She had been telling me everytime I took Emma to get her's cut that she wanted her's cut to. Well, I wasn't really sure what to do with Leah's hair, and was afraid for anybody to get a hold of it and make it look crazy. I had been just trimming up the ends and trying to let her hair even out a alittle, but it was time. When it was time for her to get in the chair, she changed her mind, she started screaming, but I quickly changed her mind back. I don't know what she thought they were going to do. They cut quite a bit off and layered it up some. It looks a lot better, but I think it needs to be layered some more. Maybe next time. Emma got a bunch cut off. It turned out really cute. I told her she was to young to look like a second grader. She thought that was funny.

Then, it was off to Grandaddy and Grandma Tee's house for dinner. We had a great time and the kids really enjoyed the watermelon. They couldn't get enough of it. I think my kids may turn into a watermelon before the end of the summer. They want it all the time, and once they start eating it, it's like they can't stop.
