Beach trip!

We picked Genna and Andrew up from school on Wednesday and headed down to the beach. Genna was SO EXCITED!!! All the way, she kept asking if she could just put on her swimsuit so that we could go straight to the beach when we got there. We basically did just that.
Here she is pulling her wagon full of sand toys.

We didn't put Andrew's swimsuit on him because we knew we weren't going to stay long. It was already getting late and we had not eaten dinner. He was not so sure about the sand, but he did like the birds.

Genna LOVES the ocean!

Andrew...not so much.

playing in the water with Grandaddy...

The next day, we all went to the beach for a while. Andrew was very unhappy. I think he had sunscreen in his eyes and wasn't loving the sun, sand, water...really anything about it.

But he did sit with Memama and eat snacks. The sunglasses didn't last long.

He did really like the pool. It was a great pool for kids. Most of it was shallow enough for Genna to touch and it had these fountains that Andrew loved.

back to the beach...

Friday night, we tried to take some pictures on the beach. This one pretty much sums up how it went. Genna's eyes were burning from being outside and in the pool all day and with no nap, so she wouldn't open them. Andrew just wanted to be held instead of having to touch the sand.

PLEASE come get me!

This was the best family picture we got.

The beach was beautiful. The only oil/tar we saw was on a few shells. The water was clear and the sand was as white as it always has been.

Saturday afternoon, Memama and Grandaddy left with Andrew and we stayed another night with Genna. We spent the afternoon at the beach gathering shells and building castles.

Another attempt at dressed-up pictures. She's still squinting.

I told her if she would just let me take a couple of GOOD pictures of her we could leave, so then she started posing.

The only evidence that I was there. I am usually the one with the camera.

We had a fun night. She took a nap earlier, so we were able to stay out a little later than we normally would. We went out to eat, played putt-putt golf and went to Souvenir City! She had a great time playing golf and even got a hole-in-one!

It was a great trip. Thanks to Memama and Grandaddy for going with us and helping so much with Andrew!
