Golden Beach Resort!!

Last weekend, we went up to Golden Beach Resort for a long weekend getaway with the Moore Family! It was so much fun! It was only about 1 hour from Ajax and the kids got along sooo well!! We all had a blast!

On our first day there, Kellen immediately felt super comfortable going into the water....here he is (fully dressed!) playing in the sand and trying out the water....ahh, my little fish!

Here are Kellen and Caden digging holes in the sand....

....Kellen has already lost his shirt...next, the pants! Honestly, he just LOVES water!

On our way to the beach - Kellen found Shawn's sunglasses and put them on.....I thought he looked pretty darn cute!!

Kellen and Caden in deep conversation and anxiously awaiting for the door to open so that we could head out to the beach!!

YIPEEE!!! We are going swimming now!!!!

Building "high tower" (Dora the Explorer always has to go to High Tower...so now whenever we build something with his blocks, he calls it High Tower).

Showing me his noodle for the pool....you had to watch out once he had this in his hands because it is so long for him to control!

Posing with Daddy near the main building.

Kellen loved building "castles" in the sand, as well as making big holes....he sat there by himself doing this for about 30 minutes.

Building a sand castle! (with a dripping nose....hence, the weird smile!)

Digging for rocks in the water....

Sitting with Shawn on the beach....Kellen just LOVES water...he would just sit in the water, collecting little rocks or digging his hands into the sand - I love how comfortable he is with water.

Checking out the big tires at the playground....Kellen decided they were too big to pick up...I agree, Kellen!

The swings and the field.....

The pool and the wading pool....for when we didn't want to play at the beach anymore...

Mommy and Kellen.....boy, do I love this kid!!!

Kellen and Mommy...having lots of fun playing!

...and posing with Daddy!

...and posing for a family shot....I love this picture!

Sharlene and I hanging out and enjoying the weather!

Shawn and Kellen eating a yummy ice cream snack....the best way to end a long day at the beach! Kellen is actually getting pretty good at eating ice cream from a cone...it's just a little on the messy side!

....literally, about 10 minutes after the picture I took earlier (of them eating ice cream)...we look over and the two of them are fast asleep! This is what happens when we don't have a nap!

Since the boys had to go to sleep super early (because they didn't nap), we couldn't keep them up long enough to have a campfire....so, we made smores for after dinner (in the microwave)....here is Kellen digging into his smore....yummy!

Here is Caden running super fast, and Sharlene packing up the last of our things.....the kitchen was huge!! On the other side of the kitchen was the family room (which was a good size...and it had a television!)...and it had three huge windows looking out to the water. As you can see, the bedrooms were off of the kitchen and down the hallway (where the bathroom was at the end of the hall)...overall, great cottage!!

SMILE!!! Kellen had a blast running around the playground area (he would go between the playground, the pool, the wading pool, and the beach.....all day long!)

On the way home from the cottage, Kellen watched his Dora and Diego DVD's...I don't think he blinked once!

...but he did look up long enough to give me a smile!
