I love these guys

Lord knows they can drive me insane, but aren't they cute?

Hermie's new pad

Hermie, the Hermit Crab, got a new pad today. He is now the envy of every hermit crab on the block :) Just trying to get up with the Jones! His new place is double the size of his original and it includes some fun amusements. Nicholas was so excited to pick everything out. And yes, Nicholas picked out the blue sand. I never knew the pet store would have so much hermit crab stuff. Now I know :)

Fun rocks to climb on

A log to climb in and over

Larger water shell. Nicholas actually found this at shell island a couple of years ago

Tiki Man House. Hermie crawled right over to him and has been hiding in him ever since. I guess he likes it :)

Beach Trip

We spent Thursday - Sunday at the Beach with my sister and her family. We even got our parents to come down and enjoy the sand and surf as well. It was so much fun! Nolan loved the water and Nicholas got over his fear by the last day and was jumping in the waves and surfing on a body board. The kids all got along so well. In fact, Nicholas now wants to go live with his cousin Jake and Aunt Jamie. He is fine with just seeing us when we come to Grandmomma's house. I really hoping he changes his mind...I've grown quite fond of the kid :)

Uncle Don spent a lot of time doing this to find....

this...Crabs.

There were 7 buckets and they all had crabs in them

So the kids spent a lot of time doing this :)

Jamie and I ventured out and decided to go Parasailing. This is us on the banana boat which we had to ride out to the parasailing boat.

Here we are in the clouds

Taking a dip in the ocean. It was a lot of fun.

Really peaceful up there

Saturday night we went to the Treasure Ship for dinner. The kids loved it.

Beware...this is what they do to kids who misbehave

Even worse, they don't just restrict it to kids...

Grandparents get in trouble too!

The Kids....they all wore their new crab shirts that Grandmomma made them

Update

Not much going on here. Work and playing with the kids. We went swimming and played on Nicholas's slip n' slide on Saturday and had dinner with friends on Sunday. Friday night I got to go shopping and then meet some friends for girls night out. So much fun.

What a great name for a beer right?
