We had a great week at the beach even though it was one of the hottest weeks of the summer. We got down to the water each morning between 9:30-10 and stayed until around one. Bathed in sunscreen, we all avoided getting too much sun and by mid-week, the tides were perfect for playing in the water and on the sand.Little surfer girls...
Dylan pushed his dump truck all over the beach every day...and Mallory chased after him trying to take it from him ~ every day.
This is what two~year~old twins at the beach are really like ~ constantly running in opposite directions...
Last summer we dug a huge hole in the sand each day, sat the babies in it with shovels and buckets, and they were happy as clams. Not so much this year. There wasn't a hole big enough to contain them.
What would we have done without the golf cart to get us to and from the beach each day?
One of the best parts of the week: long naps. The girls were worn out by nap time each day.
Anna Claire and Mallory helping get the toys down to the water...
Anna Claire and Mallory's first trip to an ice cream parlor for ice cream cones...
Surfer dude...
Splashin' in the waves...
More running on the beach. Mallory and Anna Claire run everywhere they go. How do they do that!?
Would you look at those long legs...
We had the beach {almost} all to ourselves.
Surfer dude turns six at the beach...
She was smashing her sand castle. That's why we build them, isn't it?
Building another one...
Headed out to dinner...I finally got the girls to eat fried shrimp and like it.
Both Anna Claire and Mallory wanted their legs buried in the sand each day. I'm not sure how I didn't get a picture of Anna Claire.
Happy Independence Day!
The girls played great together, and on this particular day they sat here and played with the water and sand in this bucket for forever.
Looking for seagulls. Anna Claire was fascinated by them, but then she would be. A seagull actually swooped down and took Anna Claire's sandwich out of her hand!
Connor and Dylan got to check out the beach patrol!
Rub~a~dub~dub, three cousins in the tub.
Saying goodbye to the beach our last night there...
Things to remember...
- Walter playing Wii into the wee hours (loudly)
- Not getting stung by all the jelly fish which appeared by the end of the week
- Seagulls snatching food from Anna Claire and Mallory
- The golf cart shutting off far away from our house
- Digging up sand crabs
- "I win, I win..."
- So much more...can't wait for next year!
