movie night on the beach! :)

Okay. So.. My heart has been struggling with the whole working thing. Not because i'm having to work...not because i work weird hours, but mostly because i feel like im missing out on so much fun stuff with Julian & quality family time!
So today while Josh was at work, I planned something special and fun for us to do as a family- it was a surprise!!
So after work Josh had captains cup, me and Ju went watch-- and after that it was about dinner time so we headed to the beach to grab some grub! :)
Julian of course stole his daddy's cup-- hehe.



It was a beautiful day at the ocean front! Nice and breezy- mid-high 80's! mm' PERFECT!

After eating... we began to stroll towards my little surprise! here it is!!!

YESS! We pulled out a blanket- snacks, and were going to be watching a movie..in the sand..on this beautiful night on the shore of Virginia beach! how cool!!!??? We were going to be watching Monsters Vs. Aliens!They had a scavenger hunt set up for the kids-(more for adultsLOL).. we had to travel a 5 block radius to find a ALIEN. Answers to questions would lead us to him!

Sadly, we didnt win a trophy.. but we did however, win a metal!! :)

We were having such a great time, but it was still to bright outside to start the movie-so we brought Ju down to the water and played. the tide was coming in so we didnt play in it to awful much- but he still had a complete BLAST!

CANT YOU TELL?????

A nice lady offered to get a picture of us all together. Julian was not happy because this took away from his play time. lol..

Finally the sun went down and the movie began. We maybe got to watch 15 minutes of it before Julian threw a complete fit. he was acting like he was afraid of the big tall girl( on the movie). which is completely weird, because he use to watch this movie al the time at his grandma's house. we chalked it up to him being completely exhausted and decided to head on home( by time this it was already 8:55< explains alot huh?)

Either way..this event was totally free! and such a nice outing- Josh, Julian and myself had such a great time! This is one thing i will truly miss about VA beach-- the family oriented atmosphere!!

anyways...i got camera happy- and took a crap ton of pictures. but hate the way it has to be loaded on this thing. so this will have to do for now! Watch for more to be posted on facebook!

enjoy xoxo
