More Beach Pics


So ... going to the beach with two toddlers is no easy feat. You've got the the sunblock to apply, the swim diapers, the bathing suits, the floatees, the chairs, the tent, the toys, the tantrums, the snacks, the transport, and when the beach fun is over, you have the dreaded sand-removal process. Whew. By the end of the week, the parents were exhausted. We needed a vacation from our vacation. ;o) It was a lot of work but so, so worth it to see our kiddos enjoying God's beautiful creation. These are all pictures from our second day at the beach.

Oh, did I mention that we also saw also lots of ...

... tears ...


... and tears...


...and, yep, more tears. Sis Priss is not afraid to let them flow!














Britton thought it was pretty cool to be buried in the sand.






We also saw a large shark swimming along the shore that day! That was quite an experience. Danny had just gotten out of the water when a guy pointed it out to us. It swam within 10-15 feet of where swimmers were. Everyone was on the shore telling them to get out of the water, but they just looked at everyone ... clearly not getting the message ... as the shark cruised by. That fin popped out of the water and I could.not.believe.it. Not every day you get to see a large shark patrolling the beach. I definitely have a healthier respect for the creatures.

I just LOVE all your beach pictures! So cute! I can't wait to take Emma to the beach. Maybe we could make a mommy, daughter field trip sometime to the beach. :0)
