Beach Trip

So beach weather is finally here. This past Friday I packed up the kids and headed off with some friends of ours. Although there are nicer beaches a little farther away, we opted to just stay close by and drive the short 45-minutes to Alligator Point. It started off a little chilly in the morning, but by early afternoon, it was bathing suit weather. The kids had a BLAST and could have stayed all day. I managed to keep the kids from getting sunburnt (except for a few patches on Caitlyn's legs and Jeffrey's back), but burned my own face and legs to a crisp. After spending who knows how many hours on the beach and in the sun, you'd really think I'd have learned my lesson! But no, still burning my poor skin. Still, it was a fun trip and we're looking forward to the next one!

Jeffrey and Caitlyn with their friend, Kate. Still managing to have fun even when it was a little chilly in the morning.

Even a cold day at the beach is better than a nice day at home!

Happy Caitlyn at the beach.

Andrew was super calm the whole day. He took great naps and was just content to watch the action.

We broke out the hats a little late, perhaps, but still managed to protect their little heads for the most part.

And finally broke out the swimsuits.

The kids playing in the ocean.

All loaded up and ready to head home from the beach. Below are our friends Max and Kate sitting with Caitlyn. Above is my friend, Jennie, with Jeffrey and Andrew. A very fun trip!
