Wordless Wednesday

One Happy Island

We had the great opportunity to go to Aruba with Great Aunt Ame and Uncle Mike, being beach babes from the start (sporting their cool shades in the NICU), Landon and Grant couldn't pass it up and even allowed Mommy and Daddy to come as well;)  We all had a great time. Here's some pictures capturing our week!

The boys getting ready to check in at the airport. Even though it was 6am Landon was loving it and Grant was still sleepy.

As soon as the plane took off, both boys were sound asleep.

Landon loved that he got to show off his new trick of sitting up like a big boy. How lucky were we that we had a free seat next to us!! FYI: Can't have two babies in the same row due to the oxygen masks.

Saying hi to Dada and everyone behind him! 

Wait, where'd you come from?? 

We made it!! Sunny and beautiful, 80's and breezy. 

Dipping the toes.... 

Oh, ok. You can go in.

Yeah! We love the pool!! Daddy can we get one please??

Grant's new best friend.

 

First beautiful sunset of many

Grant wasn't too sure of the waves coming in.

Tried this to start our daily routine. Didn't go over all that well. Too sunny so we ended up being at the pool during the day.

Testing out the new textures.

 Loving the float in the ocean! And his new teeth:)

 Nothing beats a nap on the beach.

First dinner out. The boys were happy at first then got pretty fidgety so we took them on a walk.

Landon prefers the float in the pool.

 Sad in their Giant gear. I think they knew they'd lose that night....

Enjoying happy hour by the pool.

Makeshift play area.

Grant refused to wear the sunglasses. This is the best we could do....

Pool time!

No where better than Aruba to start crawling!

So long Yankees....

Look at the size of that beer!

Enjoying a "date" night.

Uncle Mike chose cuddling with sleepy Grant over a beer. Now that's love.

Balashi Beer Tour minus Val since babies aren't allowed in...

Grant meets his first Precious.

If he can't have the beer.....

Got back from a sunset at the beach to find everyone enjoying some night swimming.

Downtown

First taste of chocolate. I'm kind of glad it wasn't a hit.

Self timer!

Next ad for jean diapers?

This baby is all head.

Last night.....

Landon: It's supposed to be a sunset shot. Stop looking for the camera!!

Thanks Ame and Mike for making this amazing trip possible!:)

Chalet Swiss=best restaurant on the island, had to go there twice!

Checking out:(

Entertaining the boys before take off. So long Aruba!
