To say these two are spoiled by their grandparents is a gross understatement. We met up with Grandpa and Grandma and some of their friends at a beach house. The kids LOVED their Easter baskets which were full of all things kids "need" -sidewalk chalk, candy, bubbles, toys, books, etc.
Then Nate got to spend time fishing with Daddy and Grandpa. Which he had been looking forward to for quite some time.
Not much was happening in the fishing area so they decided to hit up Grandma's Easter treats instead.
Then....it happened. I suppose it is a right of childhood (although I am not sure I ever got that right). Music began to play and Nate saw a truck with Shrek painted on the side. He was pretty happy and then Grandpa informed him it was an ice cream truck...
This face pretty much explains it!
And of course, Grandpa purchased the kids their very first ,out-of-the-truck delicacies.
Which were thoroughly enjoyed!
I guess the line that the "music truck" is driving by, is over....we will curse Grandpa everytime the kids are disappointed that their mean old parents won't let them get ice cream :)
Of course after such a delight, there really is no better way to clean up than a dip in the Gulf!
Nate was all in, no looking back. Just splashing and running and having a grand time.
Marissa, on the other hand, was a little more timid and initially did not want to leave Daddy's side.
She eventually got down and put her feet in the water. When she finally decided it was OK, she let Bubba take her out a little further.
Then she fell in love...
Tears were shed as we left the beach that evening. I think we have two water babies on our hands now. The exciting thing is both kids' tubes are out so we can get them into swimming lessons this summer!
We headed back to the Beach House, cleaned up, spent some time snuggling with Grandpa, and headed home for the evening.
What a great day! We are blessed!
