A few weeks ago we spent time with Nan, Pop Pop, and Aunt Leah down at Emerald Isle. We spent a lot of time out on the beach, and just relaxing. I must say though that with a 2 year old and a 3 month old "relaxing" and "beach" don't really go together. The surf was really rough this year, so we had to keep Ellie within arms reach anytime she was in the water. There was also plenty of sand castles and sand muffins to be made as well. We actually spent more time getting Miss Lucy ready for the beach and then cleaning her up afterwards than we did with her actually on the beach with us. She wasn't a big fan of the wind and the sand in her toes, for that matter. We are hopeful that next year she will enjoy it more.
We are thankful for two girls who make more
work fun out of the beach and for their grandparents and Aunt Leah who "lighten the load" when they are around.

Do you think Ellie has enough sand toys, or what?
This picture was of Lucy's very first time at the beach.
Look at the thighs on her :)!
