The first morning we were there, Shawn and I took Roanin out to the water just to show it to him (no bathing suits because there were no plans of swimming). As you can see, Shawn had to break into a sprint when we set him down to avoid him going in too far. He made a b-line to the water and loved every minute of it.
This picture is really how it was. Roanin was laughing hysterically (with a half-gummed Twizzler in hand...and yes it was 9:00 in the morning...no judgement....we were on vacation) while running full force into the waves. He was soaked within about 2 minutes (as were we) but didn't let go of the candy. 
Soccer outfit turns wetsuit.
Enjoying the morning sun and surf.
A little breakfast for the kiddos while watching the Price is Right. Sophie: "Five dollars! Five dollars! Is that lady crazy!?!??!"
Roanin: "Oh no she didn't...."
The Ritzmanns taking little Sophie in the ocean for the first time.
The family sneakin' in a little love on the beach.
Roanin (aka: Bigfoot) wondering what the heck Sophie is actually doing with that toy.
A miracle...both babies actually looking at the camera.
Roanin sharing his daddy with Sophie for a minute (perhaps the cookie he has smeared all over his mouth helped convince his sharing was a good idea).
Me beaming while holding the two cutest munchkins around.
Shopping....I'll take the boy and the girl. So darn cute...
Mommies and the pumpkins. Come on Sarah....can you take a picture without the hat?
We caught a lady....I mean man-bug in the pool.
We got Roanin to give Sophie a kiss while were there. Here is the approach....is Sophie ready or what?
A big smooch...right on the mouth! These will be the pictures they will HATE when we pull them out when they are in high school. I love being a parent.
The men, the floaties, and the floaters.
Sophie: "Do you feel like ditching these lame adults and heading over the pool bar to see if they serve milk?"Roanin: "Sounds good. Just one thing...do you know how to get outta these things?"
My boys checkin' it all out.
Shawn humoring me by taking a picture of the crafty lettering in the sand that only took me about half an hour due to 2 washouts.
MESSY dinner at the Boiling Pot in Rockport. Why do the adults have on bibs but the child (whose mouth looks like he just drank a quart of spaghetti sauce btw) does not? The parenting on vacation was marginal at best....
Mr. Independence trying out feeding himself with his spoon. Again...bib anyone? Needless to say...Roanin ended up going to bed that night with pasta sauce in his hair, sand in his ears, hair and toes and a HUGE smile on his face. I LOVE VACATION!
