We took a quick trip to Bethany Beach the other weekend and had a lot of fun. People are definitely catching on to our little beach addiction, but hey, what better way to maintain your tan right?! Plus the beach is just such a wonderful place. The sun, the sounds of the ocean, the smell, the breeze, it's just the best!
Anyways. We were there Sat. - Tues. and got to spend time with our friends, especially the newest little member of our group and the first and only boy...sweet Logan. I had so much fun snuggling him.
We found a way to keep the girls still for about a minute.
Nothing like muffins in your teeth.
We were able to celebrate Stephanie's birthday. The girls picked out an ice cream cake with balloons on it for her.

The sand crab obsession continues.
Emma calls the sand crabs "Santa Crabs" and carries them around with her. She says they're sleeping. It's pretty funny.
High tide came an hour or so after we got on the beach. Since you have to stake your claim on the beach, when the tide comes up and encroaches on you, you're not left with many options since there's no where to move. The boys (and girls) dug trenches to protect our site and not only did it provide entertainment, but when the water did come up, the kids had their own little river/pool.
You can see how much fun they had in their tide pools HERE and HERE.
All the kids from this trip.
Can't you just picture this 10 years from now, on a real jeep, hahaha.
The boys.
Popsicle time.
The friends we were staying with had their niece stay as well and the girls just loved playing with Paige.
We are so thankful for such generous friends who invited us to join on part of their beach trip. We sure are lucky!!! When school starts in a few weeks and routines return and weekends are spent running errands and cleaning, etc. the girls are going to be in for a shock. At least we're enjoying every moment of summer!!
