vacation part 4--beach house

A view of the house from the street. It was located in a lovely condo village of sorts, with a nice pool, just a couple blocks from the beach. Each condo had a funny name, and Owen loved walking around reading the names.
The boys slept on these lovely toddler cots.  They called them "beach beds."  We were amazed at how well they slept, but all of the activity had a lot to do with that.
 The view from their cots.

And Phoebe's set up in the closet. She was teething so there was one night of horrible sleep, but amazingly the boys didn't wake up.  They did wake up each morning around 6 which was pretty early, but Grandma was happy to hang out with Owen at that hour.

A couple more indoor shots of the boys.  This is one of Owen eating a beach themed cupcake that Olivia made.
And this one is the boys napping after a long swim.  Well, Owen fell asleep right after this was taken.  They were watching "The Incredibles" and just couldn't stay awake.

 Phoebe learned to climb stairs about 3 or 4 days into our week which made things challenging!  We put some pillows in front of the stairs leading up to the loft where some of the group were sleeping.  She was very frustrated by it, but it kept her from getting up there.  She could climb them in a moment by the end of the week.

And the view of the beach from the porch.  It was a nice place!
