We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary back in September but am just now getting the pictures up. We took the kids down to Ocean Shores for a few days. We had so much fun. The kids loved the hotel. We had a great room which they loved playing in. They especially loved running down the hallways, taking the elevator, eating the continental breakfast, getting ice :), and most of all the swimming pool. We spent a lot of time swimming and they did great.

This was a little ferris wheel at the Fun Park

Paul on the go-cart slick track. Neither of kids would go because they didn't want to get sprayed.

We also played mini-golf, Marissa did really good. Kyle really liked it too but by the end he was having a hard time and would look at his golf club and say"My golf club if broke! I want a new one". Blame it on the club, Paul probably taught him that :)

We had the most fun at the beach. We packed picnic lunches, played in the sand, Marissa and Paul jumped the ocean waves (Kyle didn't like the waves), flew kites and Paul and Kyle raced his RC car.

Daddy and Marissa flying kites. Funny story, Paul wrapped one kites' string around the side mirror on our car while we were at the beach. Then when we were driving off Marissa got all upset and said "Dad that's not funny!" and he asked her what she was talking about and she replied "I don't like your idea of driving with my kite out there!" Whoops, we forgot it was even there because it was so high.

The view from our hotel room. We saw several deer out in the dune. It was a beautiful view.

It was a great trip. On our actual anniversary at the hotel Marissa asked me and Paul to close our eyes and she made us a plate of cheese and crackers and a beautiful picture of us on our wedding day (with tux and wedding dress on). It was so precious. She is so sweet and thoughtful.
