Va-to the-Cay

Well I’m just plain tired.  Like exhausted.  I think I could sleep for days.  I guess that’s what vacation does to you…or the fact that Amon decided to grace me with his presence every single morning of vacation at 5:30ish.  Rude.  Crazy rude.  In real life he does not get up this early and I was solo parenting since Josh was in Nicaragua.  Ummmmm, I’ve decided I do not like babies at 5:30am.  There, I said it.  He’s cute and all, but I need more sleep.  I digress.

We seriously had a great time.  So much stinkin’ good fun.  Aunt Linda and Uncle Tom are those really kind people who just smother you in hospitality and love and yummy food and fun.  They’re those good type of people.  Like really good.  It was wonderful to be with them and spend every day on the beach.  I’ve decided I would like to live on the beach.  I could do it.  Can you imagine how amazing it would be?!?!?!?!  Sigh.

The kids loved every single thing about the beach.  No fear at all which was amazing to watch/scary to watch.  I was on high alert, but didn’t want to scare the crap out of them, so I just played it cool with educational beach/wave/under toe information.  And Ashley and I kept our eyes on them.  Right now I’m doing the Meet the Fockers v-shaped finger eye point Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro do at the red light near the end of the movie.  Yep, that was us.  Eyes on those wee Kelleys.

Huddy did some serious ninja chopping of the waves.  He literally spent 99.9% of the time in the waves…deep and fighting them.  It was quite the Boy VS Nature battle.

There was sand castle building of course.  And Ashley wore herself out on some serious sand castle building.  It was intense.

Amon was hilarious.  He adored it.  He would run straight into the ocean and would have easily drowned himself if Ashley and I weren’t so dang good at picking him up.  We finally dug him a hole and put him in it.  He liked this very much.

Amon’s favorite thing about the beach was easily the people watching.  You see, he’s a creeper.  A little tiny cute creeper that wants to get all up in your business.  It’s just how he rolls creeps.  Example A:  This family got some chuckles and big smiles out of him.  He did some serious creeping on them.  Lucky family.

Amon’s other favorite thing about vacation was Uncle Tom…or Baba as the kids call him.  Amon + Baba = BFF.  Amon literally just followed him around the house.  He wanted Uncle Tom to hold him the whole time and if he wasn’t holding him Amon just creeped around Uncle Tom’s legs.  Yep.  Amon enjoyed hanging out with Uncle Tom’s legs a lot.

We had quite the time and everyone was sad to leave, but I know we wore Nina & Baba out.  They were so gracious and sweet to us, but I know if I was tired, they had to be too.  I’m so glad we decided to venture their way and I’m even more glad they were cool with welcoming us in.  A sweet, fun time was had by all.

Thanks again Aunt Linda and Uncle Tom for always being crazy kind and opening your home up to us wild Kelleys.  Thank you for loving us so well.  We totally appreciate it and think you guys are really stellar.

Happy Monday.
