Backtracking to Shelter Cove

Our favorite place to get away from it all.
And I am serious about the "from it all" part. No cell reception at all. It is great.
You might need a few minutes to read this whole post.

On the way there, we always stop half way and go to McDonald's and let the girls get something at the town Dollar Store. Kadie got a mustache this time around.

We left right after school and got there just in time to pick up a pizza and watch the sun go down.
It was REALLY windy.
Crew kept trying to taste the wind when it wasn't taking his breath away.

Day 2! Rocky beach here we come!
Crew loved the rocks, and we even found him a rock chair!

They are still newlyweds. :) So cute.

Grandpa and little Crew boy playing with the rocks.

Crew just wanted to play in the rocks the entire time.
He didn't even want his mama to hold him!
We saw crabs, birds, and flowers like usual. But this time we also saw a Moose!
He hung out on the golf course all day long!

Cade got all dressed up to go golfing. He wore his cute outfit the whole time. I told him he is welcome to borrow my scarf anytime he wants. :)


Crew took his first steps in Shelter Cove!
He had taken 3-4 before, but took a long stride that weekend.

We took the kids to the Tea House and got Hot chocolate and scones. Laney was kind of a stinker, but still had fun.

Day 3
On to the treasure hunt! Morgan and Cade are making this a tradition. Each time they come, we go on a treasure hunt! Pirates, maps to follow, x's to find, and treasure to dig up! It is the real deal, and the girls just love it - as do the rest of us!

Kadie found a new favorite spot for us this time! A small stream just behind the beach. Perfect for making sand castles and hanging out all day. We can't wait to go back!


The girls went to town digging once they found the "x"

The treasure was found!

JUMP!!! Nick didn't make it, and almost lost a shoe. :(

Morgan and the kids sorting through the treasure!

Grammy, ummm... You have a little something... right...right there.

Check out the mustache and chest hair! (eyeliner)








We even spotted some dolphins!


Kadie found the tiniest hermit crab we had ever seen. She kept him, and made her own little place for him and a few of his friends. Morgan called it a "Crab-i-tat"

The Crab-i-tat

Dinner before.

Dinner after.
This picture is kind of gross.

Thanks for a great weekend everyone!

HAHAHA!!! I was dying through this whole post. This is hilarious! Man, we really missed out. Again.

I can't even pick a favorite picture! (I can pick a least favorite one, though. Can you guess which one it is? It's the last one. Eww. Makes me wanna hurl!)

Oh man, I love this post!
