Sanibel Island was awesome. It was lots of fun and relaxing. Once we got to the beach we decided to stay in the truck and eat lunch before we got out. Eric was so excited about getting seashells and swimming in the ocean that he didn't want to eat lunch and was bouncing around the back of the truck. I told him he needed to get his swim suit on before we could go onto the beach. Eric promptly started to strip. I looked back to see if he was getting his swimsuit on to find him standing on the seat with his bare butt pressed up against the window. Yeah he totally mooned a lady standing by the car next to us! Skip and I couldn't stop laughing and Eric kept telling us it's not funny- stop laughing!
One of the really cool things about Sanibel Island is that the beach is covered with millions of seashells. There were seashells everywhere! There were some areas that you couldn't see any sand there were so many shells.
Lily loved picking up shells. And as soon as she would find one she would run to Skip or I to show it to us. Here she is, running to show me a shell she found with Skip. She wouldn't let me add her shells to the bucket either, I tried and she reached in and grabbed it back!
Skip had a fun time burying Eric in the sand. Eric had fun too until he couldn't get out. Eric wasn't into the seashells as much as Lily was. he loved running along the beach and swimming in the ocean. I swear the only time we could get him to sit down the whole afternoon was by burying him!
We had a great day together!
It really was a fun day. Eric and Lily loved running into the water and then run screaming when a wave came in! It was a great day. One of the things I enjoy most about being a Mom is seeing my kids having fun and laughing. Andof course it was great to spend the day with Skip. Hopefully we will get to take more family day trips this year.

Emma!!! You have got to be kidding about going to Sanibel Island on Friday... Mike and I were there on Thursday. My favorite part about the shells mounds was when the water hit them and then it would roll back out the tinkling sounds that were made. Friday we drove down to Everglade City and took a boat ride... YOU have got to do that. Go to Captain Erv. It is a bit pricey but so much fun! I'm going to put video that I took with my phone ... check it out. Wish I knew you were so close!
Gotta love Florida and being able to go to the beach and play in the water in JANUARY!
I love Lily's fluffy bloomers swimsuit!!
I only have one word...JEALOUS!!!!!! I'm reading this post as I look out my window at work and see huge snowflakes covering the highway. Oh how I wish I could afford a vacation because it would be FL for at least a week!
