Life With the Glendye's: I LOVE VACATION

I LOVE vacation!!! In the "old days," vacation meant relaxing on the beach with my toes in the sand a good book, without a care in the world....you know the type of vacation Zac Brown Band songs makes you think of. Man oh man, times have changed, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Now, vacation means having a whole lot of fun with my boys while having a little bit of extra help, which means having a little bit of "me" time (a rarity these days!) We spent the week of June 11 down on Tybee with my parents, sister and brother in law, Aunt Chris, and part of the week with Katie, my brother in law's sister. It only rained one of the days, but the rest of the week was sunny and beautiful. The beach was a little windy, but we still had a blast!

I was a little nervous going into vacation with my two little boys. How would we all sleep? Would we get any sleep? Would Reives like playing on the beach everyday? Would Brooks nap down on the beach or would he get fussy? What in the world would a vacation be like with two children under two? Would it be more stressful than fun?

Well, let's just say it was definitely more fun than stressful, we did get sleep, Brooks did nap on the beach (in his stroller and in arms), Reives LOVED playing on the beach everyday, and Trey and I even got to have a date night :) Reives ran a fever the first two days of vacation, but he still seemed to have fun, and everyone enjoyed getting to cuddle with him since he didn't feel too great. The sleeping arrangements were interesting...Reives and I slept in one room....Trey and Brooks slept in one room....Trey came to get me around 4 when Brooks woke up to eat. Hey, it worked (I have yet to have a good night's sleep when sleeping with one of my infants.) We ate out 3 different nights, and Brooks and Reives did amazing each time. I mean one time, I think Reives stayed in his highchair for 2 hours, and Brooks just dozed in his carseat. We ate at AJ's, StinRays, Coco's (a new place), and Trey and I went on a date to Tybee Social. All places were fabulous, and I would highly recommend any of them!
We spent our evenings eating dinner, playing Dominoes on the porch, and walking on the beach (a couple of times.) Nightly beach walks had to be done in shifts so someone was at the house with the boys.

I had so much fun that I was depressed last Tuesday morning when I woke up. It seemed so quiet, and I missed eating breakfast on that lovely screened porch with everyone. I think my boys also missed the constant attention from everyone :)

OK...so here is a recap of the vacation in photos:
