Vacation!

It's been a week since we got back from our 4th of July vacation, and since I am now fully recovered and getting us ready to leave for our second beach vacation of the summer, I thought I should hurry up and get my pictures posted. I tried to edit as much as I could. I realize there are still a lot of pictures on this post, but there were tons more. If you're interested in seeing my pictures in their entirety, you can click here.

This was the view from our balcony, looking down to the pools and cabanas:

And the view looking the other way, across the lake to the Gulf of Mexico:
Hayden, holding up a crab finger (which he would never eat in a million years) at Bud & Ally's in Seaside:
Isaac, not to be outdone, needed his picture taken at Bud and Ally's too:
And then gave us a reason as he was REALLY enjoying his pasta sauce:
Hayden and Isaac found a little furry friend, Jake, who lives at Bud & Ally's:

Hayden and Isaac, ready to swim!

Boogie boarding is more fun!

Hey! Someone took my board!
Success!!! Who needs waves when you've got Daddy to pull you???
Looking for the perfect wave...
Whew! That was fun!

Hey, dude... I look cool in Daddy's glasses:

I look cool, AND I'm number one!!!
