Beach Weekend

This weekend we have enjoyed some much needed family time at Pine Knoll Shores.  It has been so nice to get away and have nothing to do but relax and have fun!  Friday morning we went to the  Aquarium for a few hours and played out on the beach that afternoon.

Our nights have been interesting, trying to figure out the best sleeping arrangements with 2 bedrooms.  The first night we tried putting the girls together, but that ended in Ellie waking Lucy up twice, Lucy screaming for 30 minutes, and Ellie sleeping on the floor in our room. Needless to say we were all tired after a rough night like that. Having Ellie as a bunk mate has been interesting, but at least she is waking us up instead of her sister.  I think she is so excited to be sleeping in the same room as us that she wakes up, remembers where she is, and starts talking to us at all hours of the night.  We have a few trips planned this summer where we will all 4 be sleeping in the same room...I am already dreading the sleeplessness that will most definitely happen then. 

Saturday morning we took the girls to Beaufort to see the boats and walk around some.  The weather has been beautiful, but a tad bit cool still, but it hasn't kept us inside.  Saturday afternoon we went out on the beach to try to fly a kite that we bought for Ellie.  She was impressed for about 5 minutes and went back to playing in the sand.  I told Brad that maybe in a few years that will change.

Lucy has enjoyed eating playing in the sand for the most part, Although just like anything else, when she is over it, she quickly lets us know!  We are thankful for a fun weekend away, but after 2 weekends in a row of traveling, are looking forward to a normal week ahead.
