For some people vacation is a time of rest and relaxation. For me, it is a time to eat. I have been known to not only completely blow a diet on vacation, but abandon dieting for months after vacation. I think the babies might be following my lead. They were good eaters for pretty much the entire week. We even expanded their pallet to include new items. First adventure was ICEE POPS!!! It was so hot we wanted to make sure they got enough fluids. They loved it. Evan is not a big fan of anything cold. He makes the craziest face but always comes back for more. 
Ellie fussed every time I pulled it away.
Charlotte was enjoying the soothing coldness. 
Here's the babies bellied up to the Cheerios Bar.
Jennifer and I love to eat at the seafood buffet. When we lived in Charleston, we would take day trips to Myrtle Beach to shop and eat crab legs. We took the babies to our favorite place. We did not want to risk any shellfish allergies, so they just got fish, hush puppies and veggies. Jennifer and I did not get to enjoy our meal as we usually do. The babies ate fast and then were ready to leave.

Next treat was WATERMELON!!!! I am a big fan of watermelon. Summer does not start until you get that first sugar sweet ice cold watermelon. Jennifer likes to torture me by waiting until they go on sale to buy our first one. We snagged one the first day at the beach and it stayed in the fridge the whole week. We broke it out on the last day and it was ice cold - just the way I like it. The babies have had it before, but we have not let them eat it off the rind by themselves. Evan loved it. He looked like a big boy grabbing the melon and going to town. The cold melon felt good on a hot day. 
It took Ellie a minute to figure out what she was suppose to do, but once she did she had a blast. She was a fan of licking the melon. That signature smile says it all.
You might be noticing that Charlotte has not been full of smiles. She had gotten sick early in the week. She was just happy not to have a fever. She had her typical prissy reaction. Hands drawn back and funny little facial expressions. She liked the melon but I had to feed it to her.
The also got to try Capri-Sun waters. They picked up on using the straw right away. We forgot to get pictures (sorry).
