We haven't updated in quite some time because we were out of town for 9 days. We left last Wednesday morning (3am) and went to Atlanta. We spend the night at Grand-dad's and then got up Thursday morning and headed to Savannah to spend the night with Aunt Kat on our way to Daytona Beach. The boys were very excited to get to the beach as you can see in the picture above. Kyle went with us and they had a really great time. The drive there wasn't that bad because it was so broke up. 6 hours, 4 hours, then 2 and a half hours. That is good because Emma hates the car. She did really well though because we timed our travel around sleeping times.
Ethan took right to the water. He had an eventful week though. He ended up with swimmer's ear in both ears because he liked the water so much. He also decided that he is a big boy now and pee pees and poo poos the potty. On a bad note, he got a big boo boo while on our trip. One night he was really tired from going to the beach to the pool to the beach to the indoor pool, and back and forth again. He wanted one last trip to the hot tub in the indoor pool before hitting the elevator for our room. Mommy was opening the big heavy metal door for him and opened it on top of his foot. It ripped his big toe nail off and he cried, although not near as much as Mommy did. He had to go the doctor when we got back home yesterday and they said that it will grow back fine but Mommy still feels really awful. The trip was great other than that though. Ethan woke up this morning and wanted to go back to the beach. Don't we all?
In the background is our condo. The view from our room was great. It was nice to wake up every morning and see the ocean.
Ci Ci brought a tent like thing for shade for Emma. She loved sitting in it and playing on the beach.
Monday we went to Daytona International Speedway to do the Daytona 500 Experience. Here is Trystan with Dale Jr's handprints.
Ethan thought he has in heaven.
Sarah, our niece, went with us. People thought that Mommy and Daddy were crazy with all 5 kids there. That is the top of Ethan's head in the bottom right corner of the picture. He wouldn't sit still, imagine that, too much to look at.
The whole crew in Victory Lane where the winning car goes after the race. Pretty cool.
Aren't the 3D glasses a new fashion statement. The movie was really neat and Mommy learned a lot about Nascar. Emma slept through most of it and it was really loud, it was IMAX. It even scared Ethan at first. It went totally dark and the loud noise of a race engine came on and Ethan started crying really loud and said "I don't want to do this!" He calmed down and loved it. He sat still and watched the whole movie and it must have been 30-45 minutes.
This is with the winning car of the last Daytona 500. They drive the car straight in the museum after the race, in it's exact condition.
This is showing how steep the side banks are on the track as the cars go around the curves. It is 31 degrees of curves. Ethan couldn't even stand on it.
Ethan couldn't get enough of the race cars.
Trystan entered the 16 second pit crew challenge.
Emma on the beach, sand on her face and all. She had a big time on vacation also. She cut 2 teeth. Last Friday she had no teeth. Mommy knows this because Emma chews on her fingers every day. Saturday she had 2 teeth. Mommy found that out really quick as she chomped down.
Beach beauty!
Daddy and Ethan flying a kite on the beach.
Emma thought she would help her brother with the kite.
Ethan has another new love in his life. Putt putt. Our condo had free putt putt and Mommy probably logged about 6 plus hours in just a few short days. He didn't discover the putt putt until half way through the week.
He also enjoyed shuffle board, but not as much as putt putt.
Love the concentration tongue.
Trystan and Kyle met a girl named Savannah and hung out with her all week.
Ethan and Sarah blowing bubbles with Aunt Kat. Ethan taught them his trick of letting the AC unit blow the bubbles and it makes a lot. The people on the balcony above us were waiting to hear "Dancing Queen." If you look at the top of the picture really close you will get an idea of how many bubbles it was making.

The resort had many activities for the kids. One was scuba diving. Trystan and Kyle got to try their hand at scuba in the pool.
Emma napping on the beach. She did that a lot.
Ethan also discovered his love for boogie boarding.
We went to the board walk our last day there.
