Beach!

We had a great time at Ocean Isle last weekend with Grandma F.! The girls did great and they both really enjoyed being out on the beach. Poor little Anna got either a little sun or wind burn on her cheeks, even though we only had her out in the shade or after dinner. I felt so bad, but she is back to normal now. Erin LOVED the ocean. We were surprised at how much she liked it! She walked right up to the water and started splashing around the first evening, but the following morning she was a little whiny. I think she got salt water in her eye. But every other time we went out, she loved it. The pool at the condo was closed, but we hardly had time to go anyway between naps, meals, and playing at the condo! We also didn't get a chance to break out Grandma's kiddie pool or kite, so those are on the schedule for next time. Erin loved the "tunnel" in Grandma and Grandpa's living room between the couch and chair, and she also loved all the books and toys Grandma had for her there. The balcony was a big hit with both of them too.

Though we mostly hung out around the condo and beach, we also went to church and had a quick outing to Calabash and went out to eat on Sunday night. So, it was a nice mini-vacation for us...our only one this year! We packed heavy, but our "t-rex" was up for the luggage challenge. Bob even managed to make an extra spot in back so I could go back and help calm Anna down when she needed it.

Here are a couple of pictures...we didn't take very many, and I can only get the landscape ones to look right on the blog, so see our Picasa site for the rest. We can't wait to go back again soon! Thanks for everything, Grandma!
