Gonna miss the beach

Well, our week is winding down here at the beach. We spent yesterday at the beach again and got a whopper of a storm in the afternoon. So, mommy took advantage of the clouds and went shopping!! Got a lot of cute things that I really don't need, but when I am able to take somethings home that remind me of the beach, I don't miss it as much.
Today, we spent the day here at the house, mommy got to lay out by the pool while the boys napped. Then, Beau joined mommy in the pool for lots of splashing and playing. He really likes to be independant and not be in a floaty. He likes to climb up and down the stairs and get in and out of the pool. He is getting very brave, and scaring mommy!
We are pretty much packed up, sorry to go, but we know we can come back! And we will. But I am sure our Gracie is missing us. Just wish we could have the ocean in our backyard!

Shore is Fun!!

We are still enjoying all of our free time here in OBX! We have spent the past two days at the beach in Oregon Inlet, which is a beach axcessed only by four-wheel drive. It is great because you can take all of your stuff with you and park right where you are going to be at the beach. Alot of people fish down there. We just had fun and played in the water and got sand ALL over!! Beau really seemed to enjoy being outside, he didn't seem to be bothered by the sand until it got in his mouth! He loved the water, and only ate a wave twice!! He loved crawling all over the sand and checked out everyone's tires! He loves trucks. We had music playing and he even joined in for a dance once in a while.
We have also been enjoying all of the friends here at our house, it is very noisey, especially around 8am!! All the little ones get up and start playing with the toys, makes a good alarm clock! We have been eating most of our meals here, each taking turns for cooking and cleaning. All in all, we have really spread out in the house, making ourselves comfortable!

We are on Vacation!!

We are so luck to be spending a whole week in the Outer Banks in North Carolina!! We went in with a bunch of people/family/friends and got a wonderful house here. In all we have about 15 people here. It is loud and chaotic, but soo much fun!~ We got here yesterday and settled in. Today, the Sargents took it easy and rested in the am while everyone else went to the beach. When Beau woke up from his nap, we got ALL of our stuff together to go to the beach and as soon as we got there, first step into the sand, it started raining and thundering so we had to leave... so much for our first day. But, no worries, we are playing games and hanging out at the house. But, you never realize how much stuff you bring to the beach for such a little person!! I used to go to the beach by myself with just a chair and a towel, but not now. Poor Beau didn't even get to set foot into the sand. But, there is always tomorrow!
