Amelia Island day 3

We started day 3 off with a 12 mile bike ride!  It was a fun way to burn some calories:)  I have become the biggest fan of biking at the beach.  It's so efficient and I always feel like I've taken a step back in time.

These 2 love riding and telling me to "go faster!"

Six of those miles looked just like this... pure bliss.

We stopped at Main Beach to eat lunch at Sandy Bottoms. It's right on the beach.  Perfect scenery.  Unfortunately the service and food left much to be desired.  But it takes a lot to break a good mood when you're on vacation!

Elizabeth has discovered her love for cartwheels and handstands!

After our bike ride and lunch break, we got ready to spend the afternoon at the beach.

Today was so busy so we decided to make spaghetti and eat in tonight.  After baths, I started making dinner and put on a movie for the girls.  About 10 minutes later Elizabeth was fast asleep.  That never happens!  When she woke up for dinner she told me, "I love vacations."  Me too sweetie, me too!

Amelia Island day 2

Since it was only 46 degrees when we woke up this morning we just had breakfast and took it easy. Bert played games and guitar with the girls and I went for a nice long run.





We strolled down to the beach around 11:00. It was still chilly but the sun was out! Elizabeth didn't slow down at all while we were at the beach. She ran, jumped, dug, built and played all day. Caroline spent most of the day curled up in my lap talking to me. Her sister did convince her to play for a little bit.























After showering and resting, we went to the Crab Trap for dinner. Bert really wanted some crab legs ANSI was eager to check out the historic district.

















After Elizabeth ate her requested broiled fish and Caroline devoured a hot dog (my kids have quite different taste buds), they both requested frozen yogurt. That done thing they agree on!

Amelia Island day 1

We left home around 10:00 this morning and promptly stopped at Dunkin Donuts to get our fix! We put Frozen on and we were off to Amelia Island.


We pulled into our condo a little before 4:00. After unpacking we walked down to the beach and splashes around a little.


Then we had dinner right on the beach at Sliders where the kids could play on a playground in the sand while we listened to a live band. It was a great way to start off our week.

Last Weekend

Last weekend Elizabeth had a soccer game on Saturday and Sunday.  She is still loving it and doing so well.  We decided to sign her up for a week long soccer camp this summer.

Pictures from Teachers

Almost every day Caroline's teacher sends me a picture of her from the day.  Every now and then Elizabeth's teacher does it to (I think they're a little busier in Pre-K).  I started saving them this semester.  I love seeing them hard at work learning and having fun... and sometimes sleeping:)  FYI: there are a lot of theme days. i.e. pajama day, wacky tacky day, etc.

These are a few of Elizabeth.
