It had been awhile since our last beach trip with Madison so Nikki and I decided to head out to "Huguenot Memorial Park" (a beach where you can drive right up to the surf). As we were driving up there we noticed the St. John’s River nearly splashing up onto the road – we figured it was just high tide. Meanwhile Hayden is in the back seat pitching a fit like you just wouldn’t believe. Everyone in the car was about to go crazy, but have no fear! We were almost there!! We pull up to the entrance and Nikki pays the $1 to get it with a $5 bill. She gets almost all of her change back in quarters – maybe the attendant decided she looked like a college student who needed to do laundry, who knows? Anyway – we drive around to the beach and, I kid you not, there is about 9 feet of beach between the dunes and the water – there was no way we were going to chance it and end up stuck with two cranky toddlers with no way out, so we decided to turn around and head home. What a nice long, whiny-filled drive it was just so we could turn Nikki’s $5 into change!
With two heartbroken little kids in the back seat because we didn’t get to hang out at the beach, we decide to make the most of the situation and head over to Nikki’s dad’s house and swim in the pool. On our way, the sky grew increasingly dark and looked like the heavens would open up at any minute…so we decide that was a no-go. After about an hour of just driving around, changing Nikki’s money into quarters, entering Merrill Road from both sides of 9A and nearly losing our minds, we decide to park it at Nikki’s house to eat lunch and let the kiddos splash around in a little froggy pool. Hayden’s mood improved immensely after eating his sandwich (and half of mine – guess the poor kid was hungry!)
Thanks Nikki and Madison for a whirlwind of a day! We may not have seen the beach – but at least we were in good company!

UGH!! What a trip! At least Hayden was happy when he got home...
Glad you all had fun in spite of all the frustration involved !
yuck dude, that's a total bummer day!!
Priceless pics !
Did you ever figure out what caused "having a cow" ? Just wondering...
I love your background. The pictures of him screaming his head off are quite funny but I'm sure was not fun to listen to. I love the pic of them in the crib too. :D
Oh poor kids, but it looks like the day turned out well after all!
Funny pictures!
Your page is really cute too, I need some guidance in customizing my blog. :)
