its not good-bye...just see ya later!

You know you are on a beach vacation when evereything in your suitcase is covered in sand (even before you wear it!), you are sweating before you step out of the shower, you have NO cell phone service and you get stung by a jellyfish while wading through the ocean! BUT...you also know you are on a beach vacation when you can be sitting on the beach before 8AM listening to the calming waves, feeling the sand between your toes! You know you're on a beach vacation when all the distractions of home are gone (i.e. cleaning, phones, internet, TV...) and you spend time together watching movies and playing board games! You know you are on a beach vacation when you can eat a cupcake for breakfast, wear your swimsuit cover up to dinner and NEVER look at the time! I absolutely positively 100% CANNOT WAIT to get back to the beach!!!

We woke up early on Monday orning and packed up to head back to Oklahoma! The boys posed for one more picture in front of Cast-A-Way house wearing their suvenier t-shirts we bought at the surf shop! Maddox got a pirate tee and Ashtyn got a surfer shirt! Good-Bye Cast-A-Way house!! Good-Bye Uncle Bill, Aunt Beck and Laurne!! We hope to see you again soon!!

On our 13 hour drive home, you can imagine that we were all getting quite restless and bored...Maddox kept us entertained and gave us some good laughs, though, about half way home while he was watching his "Mommy & Me" sing along movie! They were singing the song "Where is Pointer" (ya know...the song where you put your hands behind your back and then call each finger out?) and Maddox was really getting into it! He was doing different voices for each finger and cracking himself up...all the while cracking up me and Noni too!
