We had a fantastic family beach trip to Grayton Beach. We tried out a new beach house this year and we all really liked it. It had a great porch with a nice view and it was very comfortable to eat our meals outside. The kids loved the pool as well as the adults. Katelyn was even comfortable enough in the pool to let go of us and swim around on her own wearing her ladybug floatie. She did really well. We spent one morning just goofing around in the pool and taking pictures with my brother-in-law's underwater camera. It was a blast!
We ate out a couple of times and I think one of the best meals I had was at a place called Shorty's around the corner from our house. Ricky and I went on a lunch date and I had a delicious shrimp po-boy. Yummy! Cars are able to drive onto Grayton Beach so that was a little strange. It made deep ruts in the sand that were difficult to walk over, especially for Katelyn. She had a meltdown the first time her feet touched the sand, but after a day or so she finally got used to it. It just took a long time to walk across. She enjoyed playing in the tidal pool on the beach and chasing the fish. Her favorite thing about the beach was jumping in the waves with her Daddy. That is all she wanted to do. She also really liked the showers where she could use the hose to spray her feet and Mommy and Daddy's. She is too funny!
Fortunately the oil did not really affect us. We saw some tarballs, but the beaches and water stayed clean. We were very thankful for this and just pray that something can be done about the oil so it will not affect the gulf for years to come.
We had a great time and made wonderful memories. I am already looking forward to next year!

Tonight...
Tonight, as we sat down to supper, Katelyn reminded us that we needed to say the blessing. She reached out both hands for us to hold, then said "Bow your heads and close your eyes", then said "Dear God, thank you for this day, and thank you for this food, amen". Later, after I killed a spider with a kleenex, she went and got a kleenex and pretended to kill one as well. I love this age!

Zoo Fun With Friends
Katelyn had a great time at the zoo with her friend Lexie. They saw animals, splashed in the fountains and rode the train.
Katelyn was able to tell her Daddy all about it when we got home.

Funny Things Katelyn is Doing & Saying These Days
1. "Daddy, you go to work today at Big A?" (there's a big A logo at Ricky's work you can see from the interstate)
2. "Please everything." (we have no idea what this even means or where she got it...she uses it as a last ditch effort when "please" isn't getting what she wants)
3. "I had a good night night!" (she says this first thing when she wakes up, which makes sense, but then some other times she randomly says it in the middle of the day)
4. "No don't sing that ....that's rude!" (she says this most any time Ricky tries to sing)
5. "I can't want that." (and also the ever popular "I can't like it")
6. "I do it!" (what can we say...Miss Independent is 2)
7. "Excuse me, Angel." (they get in each others' way a lot)
8. "Angel, Come here!" (this is usually followed by Katelyn chasing Angel and giggling uncontrollably while Angel just wants to be left alone)
9. "My hair all wet, my hair all wet!" (in a very distressed voice after having her hair rinsed at bath time)
10. "Baby Kaya in mommy's tummy." (when asked what her baby sister's name is)
11. She introduces herself as Katelyn Taylor Eanes. (although her first name still comes out as "Kate-in")
12. We read books over and over so Katelyn has them pretty much memorized and will sit down
and "read" them to us.
13. "How 'bout Daddy do it?" (she still likes to watch other people do stuff more than actually doing things herself)
14. "Angel you get hair cut?" (this was true one time a few weeks ago, but she still says it all the time)

Photoshoot at Botanical Gardens
We did a Spring photoshoot out at the Botanical Gardens one Sunday afternoon. Katelyn was very cooperative and I got some nice pictures.
