Turks and Caicos June 2013


June 22-29 we took a trip to Turks and Caicos with our friends the Cooneys.  We stayed at Beaches resort and absolutely loved it.  The weather was perfect, the pools and beach were beautiful, the food was great.  We had so much fun {even though I got sick halfway through the trip}.  It was relaxing and a much needed vacation for all of us.


At the airport waiting to go...Lollipops at 9:00 in the morning...of course!






Ready to go!


The view from our room down to the pool...we also had a view of the ocean to the right but I never got a great picture of it.



When we got to the resort we wasted no time and got right in the pool before going to dinner...there was a perfect sized kid pool and the boys were in heaven.  We spent the majority of our week in this pool.





Dinner the first night...LOVED that they had a kid sized table next to ours.  It was perfect for the kiddos.





Playing in the sand is much more fun than eating dinner!


The four musketeers trotting along snacking on chocolate chip cookies.


Breakfast on one of our mornings there...we always went to the same buffet.  I thought the boys would enjoy all of the eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and syrup, etc. but all they wanted every morning was fruit loops and apple juice {with maybe a blueberry muffin or cinnamon roll}...so easy to please!


Hanging out at the pool...










At the beach...



The boys didn't love the water but liked playing in the sand.






The water was so clear and beautiful...I could have stayed on the beach all week long.






Slurping down a strawberry drink...a favorite of the boys all week.


Back at the pool...



All cleaned up and relaxing in the room before dinner one night.  I forgot to take pictures of our room...these two are the best I have.


Second half of the pictures from our trip coming up next!

Out at the Lot



The dirt work got started out on our lot a few weeks ago.  It's so exciting...I love watching houses get built {even more fun when it's your own house}.  The boys are absolutely loving watching all of the tractors, bulldozers, dirt rollers, etc. doing their work.  They want to go out to the lot every day to see what's happening.  It's a boy's dream.


How can we not get up on the bulldozer to take a few pictures?!?


Poor Evan...bless his heart, he loves it too but was having a bad day...even though he was upset and crying we still couldn't leave without him wanting his picture taken too.

Can't wait to watch the house start going up...It's going to be a fun 9 months!
