Life at the Buchanan Household: July 2009

Wow, it has been a very long time. We actually just got back from our last official vacation of the summer. I tell you, Ayden had it really good this year and I guess so did Bob and I. 2 weeks ago, we got a house in Ocean City with Bob's family. The weather was perfect everyday, so of course we went to the beach everyday. Ayden absolutely loved it. He is so fearless it is scary and he will just run into the ocean and not have a care in the world. The one thing he was not fearless about though were rides. Leah and I tried to take him on some rides, and the first one spun, went up and down, and he absolutely freaked out. We had to stop the ride because he was so upset. It was horrible. So, the only thing he would really go on was the merry-go-round. Well, we will have to work on that every year, because I want him to go on the rides with me.
It is so fun to watch him on the beach. This kid is such a delegator. He would hand everyone shovels and say dig, dig. Once everyone was digging, he would watch and smile.

We just got home from our second vacation. We went to the Outer Banks with 24 other people and we stayed in a 12 bedroom house in Corrolla. It was so much fun. The house was absolutely amazing as you can imagine. You had to drive 10 miles on the beach to get to our house. It had a theatre room with 12 huge reclining chairs, huge bar/basement with pool table, fooz ball (sp) and that bar game that has photo hunt. There was a pool and a jacuzzi as well. It was awesome. We pretty much went to the beach everyday because it kept the kids occupied and happy and in the pool/jacuzzi later. We had so much fun with everyone and I would love to do that again. Oh yeah, and all of the guys got Mohawks. It was really funny and I loved it on Bob.

I wanted to post some pics of the growing man because I haven't posted in forever.

Here are some pics from Ocean City. Here is Ayden in his cool glasses.
