We just got back from a trip to the beach with the Dennards and their baby girl Avery. The water was beautiful as was the weather. We decided that going on vacation with kids is really not a vacation, it is a trip. Going away with your spouse without kids would be considered a true vacation. Even though it was a lot of work managing three toddlers, we had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. Kate and Charlie discovered a "pond" full of tadpoles, Ryan caught crab and fish with his net, and we built many sandcastles. Charlie had a crush on our beach neighbor, Ella - I think she is his first kiss. He still talks about her.
