Bryan, Raleigh, Hudson, YaYa and I went to the beach this weekend. Alachua County schools get the Friday before Homecoming off, so instead of dealing with the crowd, we decided to leave. We went to Ormond Beach for a few days. This was Hudson's first time at the beach and Raleigh had not been since he was about 15 months old, so needless to say, he didn't remember it. Hudson seemed to really like the sand: the feel, the taste, everything. He didn't mind the water coming up and getting him. He was quite the adventurer. Raleigh on the other hand called the water a "Monster" and ran from it every time it came near his little feet.
Back in the room, which Raleigh called his "Beach Home" Hudson enjoyed exploring new territory and Raleigh spent most of the time with a deflated tube around his waste and swimmies on his feet (as shoes, of course) calling himself a Princess. Bryan loved that! What am I to do, the boy loves Cinderella.
We didn't get much swimming done. The water was way cold and it was really windy and chilly. We made a trip to Starbucks and Raleigh got his first hot chocolate. Mom was so proud of his first official Starbucks drink (other than choc. milk) that she kept the cup. Oh, she loves those boys. We took the drinks back to the beach and sat and enjoyed them. If you have never tried the Hot Carmel Apple Cider, you must. It is delicious.

We had foam and seaweed like that on our vacation on the gulf way back in Aug....but we had fun too in spite of the mess. I love the monster water idea, and oh I would love some of that hot chocolate about now...we are some blessed women!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had such a great time with you guys. I just love to sit back and watch the boys. They are both different for sure. Raleigh's imagination is amazing, and I love that Hudson just looks at me and smiles. Looking forward to spending a few days with him by ourselves. It was a relaxing weekend for me. Already getting ready for Friday night. This should be fun with the boys this year. And yes Papa is getting the wagon ready!
Mom
I think it's great that Raleigh loves Cinderella. What 3 year old doesn't? She's a knock out. Just tell Bryan Raleigh's crushing on her! :) When he starts pulling his shirt down over his shoulders to look like her...then he can worry. Josie runs around the house with her shirts right above her chest yelling I'm a princess, Mommy!
I'm glad you got to be with your Mom for the weekend. The beach is wonderful!!!:)
