labor day memories.

Here are some pictures of our trip to Melbourne. When we weren't watching Rachael play soccer, we were on the beach and at the pool. Erin and Trevor lived in the water the entire weekend. Erin wasn't able to come with us, but Nanny came along to help me out. And I certainly did need her. Erin and Trevor didn't want to go to the soccer field. There was no way to get them to go when there was an oceanful of fun right below our balcony!


Weather, it was beautiful. There was a little more than a sea breeze with Tropical Storm Hanna churning things up. But all we felt in Melbourne was some wind and the biggest waves my kiddo's have ever seen. The wind blew salty mist on everything, thus some cloudy pictures. But we had more than enough sun and it was perfect!!


Here are two videos of the kids playing in the waves. We kept them close, since the red flags were up due to the huge waves and super strong rip currents.



Here are a few pictures of our beach days:

Early morning shell hunt with Nanny


Watching Rachael play soccer was the real reason for the trip to Melbourne. Here are some pics of the soccer star in action. She played her heart out all weekend. We are so proud of her. We love #21 and her Rachie power!!

It was a great weekend. I am glad I could be along for the ride. The kids were a lot of fun. Rachael played hard inspite of her foot hurting. So proud of her.

We were the lucky ones to have you come along. Any time we steal Nanny away, we do! The kids miss you terribly already!

Hey Joanne,
This is how I found out how to make that header on my blog. :) It was fun to make.

Dude! I have that exact same board that Erin is holding! I don't get to use it much though :(.
