Beach Trip 2011

Every year my mom and I go on a trip to Gulf Shores. It is a very special trip for us! We enjoy spending that time together and now with Chase. Jason is so busy with baseball that it is the perfect time for us to go.

This year we stayed again at Seawind where they have this great kiddie pool. Although Chase's teacher was awesome, swimming lessons ruined my life! I guess taking him to do them was a bad idea, but he loved the water last year so I thought that he would do well at lessons, but not so much. He did good the first few days, then that was it..got scared. He was scared on vacation. Would not get past the zero entry part of the kiddie pool and would not go in the big pool. He kept asking if he had to go to lessons everyday so I know it traumatized him. Lesson learned.

We had a great time at the beach...went to a dolphin cruise, The Track where Chase rode every ride there he could, and just really relaxed a lot. He didn't love the beach, but loved the "Kiddie Kat" pool as he called it, as long as he was on the edge playing in the sprinklers! I make awesome memories with my mom each year on this trip.

Sadly this year, it ended with my Great Uncle Ed losing his fight with cancer. He was a veteran and a Godly man. I know he is in heaven and looking down on us with no pain. I spent longer at my mom's after we got home from the beach than normal to spend time with family. June has been a whirlwind so far...I am doing some independent projects for work and it feels like I am not off yet! July is free so I am looking forward to that.
