I ONLY HAVE 15 MINUTES!

Here I come, throwing some pics and words around. I have 15 minutes until the bell rings!!!

We went to Virginia Beach this past weekend. Chris had planned to take Hannah to the Third Day concert and since it was at the beach we decided to lump it all together and call it a "getaway". Our original summer vacation plans included a short trip to the beach so this worked out great.

I hope you enjoy this post with an obscene amount of pictures.

Here is a fairly long sequence of Samuel and the ocean. It might not be riveting to you but I thought it was kind of cool :)
Hold on to your hats. Here are some baby pics that might make you a little weak in the knees...

Castle Building...
Miscellaneous pictures of sweetness...


We woke up Saturday morning to a beautiful display of dolphins, but the pictures were hard to come by...
The hotel pool...
This boy and his tan lines CRACK ME UP... (note his trunks are NOT white)
Daddy/Daughter Date to Third Day concert....
Dad said it was really really loud and consequently exposed his age.

Ya'll know how we love some portable carnival rides...
Honk...
Contrary to the evidence provided in these photographs, Chris and I are actually both Caucasian.. He works all day inside and I spent a good part of the summer at the pool. It is apparent from these pictures that one of us is missing the component that allows the skin to tan.
Who wants more baby?
There was a volleyball tournament going on outside our balcony during the day on Saturday. It was pretty cool to watch.
Mom: "Samuel, you have sand all over your face. All over your mouth. Did you stick your face in the sand?"

Sam: "Mom, I am gonna ride in this stroller. I can still fit. See?"

And he again dodges the obvious question about his hygiene. I have come to believe that boys are simply gifted in this area...
We sure did have a sweet time...
