Well, we had a typical vacation again this year. Jolie was the first one to get sick. She had a high fever for 2 days and a sore throat. I ended up taking her to a med center to get checked out. I was worried about strep throat. It turns out it was just a virus, but I spent 2 days in the house with her. That's how our vacation started. It ended with Malaya getting sick. She had the same thing as Jolie, and once again, I was in the house. Ugh. The best day was the last day. The girls finally got into the groove of vacation and had a blast on the beach. Of course, by then, it was time to go home.
Look at that crazy hair!
Malaya spent a long time collecting every seashell fragment she could find. She spent hours filling buckets! She also spent a long time filling buckets with sand and water.
Jolie spent her time washing the icky sand off of her hands. She complained every time we walked onto the beach because the icky sand was on her feet. She did love to collect the clams and play with them. She also loved playing with the sand fleas and feeding the sea gulls. She likes to be in the water, if someone is holding her above it. And using the boogy board looks like fun, but that would require getting wet, so Jolie just stands on hers in the sand.
All of a sudden, Jolie started screeching like a sea gull. I guess she thought she was talking to them.
