Last Day :(

We made the most of our last day.  We took a walk to the pier again to get some souvenirs..a big starfish for me for my beach bathroom and a new shovel (Trevor accidentally broke theirs while digging) and small starfish for the boys.  I hijacked those small starfish when we got home.  They made cute additions to my beach bathroom along with the big one I got!  The boys were very understanding.  I told them I'd get them another one and that's the last I've hear about it!  The boys' favorite thing to do on our walk down this long sidewalk is to have races.  Hunter was usually trailing behind.  Sometimes when he was losing, he would suddenly stop and drop his shoulders and put his head down.  He just wanted to be fast like Jacob.  Trevor carried him during some of the races so he could actually keep up.  He also taught Hunter how to pump his arms so he could run faster.  It was so cute to see him pumping his arms!


At the pier, it was fun to watch the fishermen reeling in their line and see what they caught.  They had way better luck fishing than we did!  This guy caught a thorned ray (I think).
He was nice to let the boys see it before he threw it back in the water. 

 Of course we had to end our vacation with a trip to the beach.  Trevor and the boys decided to dig a big hole.



I couldn't get in the hole because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get out!  This belly is getting too big for me to accomplish such a simple task as lifting my leg out of a hole and using it to pull my entire body up!  2 more months!!  Then I can reclaim my stomach muscles (whatever small amount of them I had to begin with)!
 Trevor braved the chilly water to have one last day of boogie boarding.  Luckily he had a wet suit to help shield him from the shock of the cold!

After the boys had their fun in the hole, Trevor asked them if they wanted to be buried in the sand.  They both agreed.


Hunter started to get a little nervous when Trevor told them to get out and he couldn't move!

He was wedged in there pretty tight!  Trevor kept trying to pull him out and he wasn't budging!

I, being the good mom that I am, decided to stand by and snap endless pictures while Trevor tried to pull him out.


After lots of pulling & digging, he was finally freed!  He was looking at these pictures while I was doing this post and told me, "I don't want to be buried!"  Sadly, he seems to be traumatized from the ordeal. 
Jacob, on the other hand, had a blast being buried.  He hopped right back into whatever was left of the hole and Hunter was happy to help bury him!
