First Solo Trip with the Crazies...Part III

The second day was our only full day at the beach. Trust me...we made the most of it!

Itinerary:

Breakfast at Uncle Bill's...yummy...decent behavior...great sippy cups...escaped unscathed.
Shopping at this little dive store for hats...hysterical...love mine (although don't have a picture of it)
Beach...water, water, water, sand, snacks, water, sand, snacks, Matt whining "home."
Rinse off
Bath
Lunch
Naps
Dinner
Boardwalk...rides, rides, rides, rickety ride, walk, eat, complain about people feeding the seagulls (seriously people), get shit on by nasty seagull, whine about getting shit on, throw shit on pretzel away, lament about getting shit on, yell at BFF for laughing so hard, walk, go home
Play
Bed (waaaaayyyyy past bedtime)

So, here are our photos from the second day. This was definitely the day that I started missing Husband a lot. It's just easier when you have your partner in crime to make sure that each parent has a kid. BFF and Cousin were so helpful though...how else could you police three toddlers in the "pool"...that's what Hailey calls the Atlantic Ocean...her "pool."

These three little heads had the best time on the beach. Thank God for rash guards and brightly colored hats...so much easier to find each kid!




Matt loved this shovel...whined like a girl every time someone tried to take it away from him. Then he repeatedly tried to steal Hailey's snack after he'd finished his own.



Hailey is her mother's daughter...she loves the beach, loves the ocean, loves Comb.os...what else in life do you really need, after all?



Hanging out on the deck after naps...they had so much fun running around and playing.



Hailey just enjoyed hanging around...I gotta get her enrolled in gymnastics this Fall.
She loves it!



First independent ride...EVER!!! Look how nonchalant they are! It hardly even phases them!!!



Riding on the boats...where are your lifejackets??? Haha...their boat was called Mimi which was appropriate since that's what they call BFF.



This frog ride needed some creative planning since we didn't have enough adults to go on the rides and watch our strollers...it all worked out though since Colin was tall enough to ride "alone." Can't really call it "alone" though when we have him and Matt wedged in the same seat. Hailey kept lifting off her seat (lightweight), so I was holding her down half the time!



Yeah...I'm completely afraid of heights and this is not a very smooth ride. Needless to say, many of the times that I was scared out of my mind had to be "edited" to sound like I was really excited about how much "fun" we were having. Cousin was laughing his ass off...



Scenes from the Boardwalk...I love it here!
