Seagulls, seagulls, everywhere...

Brad had a week of vacation to take in February, so we took advantage of his time off and headed down to the beach house with my parents. The weather was not as ideal as it could have been, but really nothing to complain about since it was February. There were 2 days that we were able to go down to the beach and enjoy the sand and sun. It was very windy, but we still had a great time. Jackson, being the beach lover that he is, even got in the ocean. Luke, of course, ate his weight in sand and rubbed his knees raw crawling around after Jackson and the seagulls.

Oh, the seagulls.

Jackson learned that if you feed one seagull, he will immediately notify 1,000 of his closest friends. Jackson LOVED it. And I have to admit, it kept us adults quite entertained as well. I guess Jackson thought seagulls would behave like dogs...that they would sit and wait until he decided to give them the food. They didn't. Jackson would stand there with his handful of Cheetos, and the seagulls would begin to hover over Jackson and squawk. Jackson would start yelling "Not yet! Not yet!" and then would start to run. Well, the seagulls just followed him, hovering and squawking until what we had was a little boy clutching Cheetos for dear life, running around in a circle screaming "Not yet! Not yet!" as a swarm of seagulls chased him...and the adults falling over in our chairs laughing at the scene. I wish we could have captured it on camera but none of us could stop laughing long enough to get one out of the bag :)

We also took Jackson and Luke into Saint Augustine one day to play on this incredible playground in the middle of town. It was so much fun and we can't wait to go back this summer with all the cousins. Brad and I also had the chance to take Jackson to his first IMAX experience at The World of Golf just outside of St. Augustine. We saw a short little documentary titled Under the Sea...our boy loves his ocean animals.

Here's a slide show of the pictures and some video...

Ha ha, Fins is my ring tone on my cell phone and when I turned this on, Will said, "Mom, your phone is ringing!" Looks like fun. We went to Destin last year in March and it was so windy we only went to the beach once and I stayed wrapped up in a towel. The seagull thing is too cute!
