Hazel was a happy little swimmer on vacation and even napped on the beach, but NOT in the condo - she wouldn't even nap in the pack and play, much less sleep in it at nght, so it was our bed the entire time. It's like they *know* we're hoping for alone adult time, right? These pics are so adorable, though, as always. xoxo!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948476830389001938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-39496950139606254992014-05-29T10:37:33.718-04:002014-05-29T10:37:33.718-04:00you crack me up mama!!!!! this is so similar to ho...you crack me up mama!!!!! this is so similar to how our vacay was it's not even funny...why won't babies sleep on vacation????? <br />i think i came back less tan than when we left...all my hours spent rummaging through sand, walking carson up and down the beach (on my hip no less), and carting all that crap to the pool/the beach/back to the pool/etc! so glad yall had fun at havana though!!!

I have been super nervous but funny enough this post actually makes me feel better about it all, knowing that it will likely be hard and crazy but hey, it will make for good memories and I'm not alone.

We traveled everywhere...Older mom weighing in here! We traveled everywhere with my daughter up until she was 4. That was when we had Baby #2 aka my son, Mr. Fussypants Food Allergies. The only place I/we went for the next five years was the grandparents' houses. Now they are 12 and 8 and I am here to testify to the fact that life really is a beach when they get older. We can spend all day at the pool or beach, I read peacefully, they swim independently, run around with friends, help themselves to snacks and drinks from the cooler, purchase their own lunches from the snack bar, spray each other with sunscreen, and everyone goes home happy, tan, and tired. This is why I'll never live further than 15 minutes from a beach!<br />Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08165701381115177423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-61740016199914201902014-05-28T08:29:23.485-04:002014-05-28T08:29:23.485-04:00My goodness you guys make beautiful babies.

I'll be honest - we've never taken Blaire on vacation. It's always seemed so daunting. They asked for vacation pictures for a project at school last week and I felt like a big, fat failure of a mom. Maybe I'll book a last minute beach trip for the summer before we have another tiny one to tote along. Sounds like it's best to avoid that situation for a while. Thanks for the advice. :) Hope you get that solo beach trip soon - you've earned it! melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301750140963605016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-8823819206762237512014-05-28T07:04:54.620-04:002014-05-28T07:04:54.620-04:00Ha!

Hayes's biggest issue was that the sun was SO bright and his little eyes couldn't stop watering, so he'd scream. So when he wasn't asleep in his tent, he was buried in a towel on my chest. Anything to get away from the sun. The good news? Now that they're 3 and almost 5, going to the beach and the pool is SO. MUCH. EASIER. There's a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to fun in the sun! :)Blue-Eyed Bridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372823469381402561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-2821817363291286012014-05-27T23:11:35.012-04:002014-05-27T23:11:35.012-04:00I was hoping you'd post on this topic -- the p...I was hoping you'd post on this topic -- the pool is the only reliable summer activity I can count on to sufficiently wear L out, and yet I'm S-C-A-R-E-D to brave it alone.
