Vacation

Well, we are back from our vacation. It was so nice! But... there are 3 things I would have changed about our vacation:

1.) I would have changed the attitudes and behavior of my 3 little boys. My oldest, and middle sons were the worst!! Bradley would pick on Parker, and Parker would scream as if someone were killing him. Parker is known for his high pitched, window breaking type of scream. Ugh!! If only I could make him stop this behavior. At one point everyone walking past us gave us a look. Even a man in a SUV yelled out the window to Parker sarcastically saying "Don't be so happy". Another older couple jokingly said to me "Don't you wish they were in school"! Bradley also had his usual attitude. He was mean at times, and just plain disobedient. And an example of that is at lunches or dinner we'd simply ask him to sit quietly and eat. Or at least behave. Instead he wiggled in his seat, got up from his seat and at times ran around our table, he also hid underneath the table. Bradley also screamed and cried when he was angry. A waitress actually asked us what she could do to quiet Bradley down, and she brought him a balloon. I was pretty embarrased. Parker did the exact same thing. What was funny about the situation was the boys all took turns being bad except for one time. Oh, and lets not forget the tantrums when we had to leave the beach, and Funland!

2.) The WEATHER!! Oh my did we have some crappy weather those last two days! The first two days were great, we were on the beach both days and the sun was shinning, and it was comfortable warm weather. The last two days were rainy and then cold! The final day was the coldest! It rained almost the entire day, and the cold wind was the worst. Even though the weather was bad, it was still nice spending time together as a family.

3.) I wish we could have stayed longer. I really wanted an extra day or two to be sitting on the beach to enjoy watching my little boys having such a good time. Brad and I both loved seeing them have so much fun building sand castles and splashing in the waves. It was a great experience. I am looking forward to going back.

I will post pictures later. I have tons of pictures of all 3 boys enjoying the rides at Fun land, and a few of them on the beach. Sadly during our trip something malfunctioned with my video camera and my DVD got erased. I am still crushed about it. On this disk for the video cam, was our boys preschool graduation, and video of them playing on the beach with their daddy. It has broken my heart losing all these valuable memories. I do still have video of them on the rides that were on another CD because the other was full. Brad will be trying to have someone see if they can get the movie off the disk.
