Beach- Day 2

Well we had another beautiful day at the beach. It has been warm but there is a great breeze so it has not been too hot. The water is perfect- it is cool but not cold. After breakfast and a quick Walmart trip (it is bad when your one year old yells "walmar" when we get into the parking lot) we got ready and headed outside. Josh and I took Wade and Peyton outside and they played so well together. Josh built them a "pool" (we would call it a hole but not them) and they jumped and splashed and swam in it. It is so much easier and safer than chasing those wild ones in the ocean. After playing awhile Wade says "inside" and we knew what that meant... so we headed in for lunch and a nap. Well he sure was tired because he slept 3 hours in his pack-n-play. Josh stayed inside to watch ECU play and I sat outside and read and even took a 30 min nap. It was heavenly!! I don't think I have done that since Mexico in May.

After Wade finally woke up and had a snack we lotioned back up and went back out for a couple of hours. Matt and Kendal were leaving so while they were packing the "bus" (that is what Peyton call their van) we brought some bread out to feed the birds. Wade loves birds so much and was so excited to see all the seagulls. Actually it took a lot of work to get the birds to come near us. Go figure any other time there would be 30 birds around driving us crazy and today we had to chase them and try to get them to eat our bread. The kids had fun feeding them though. After Matt and Kendal headed home we went back out for another hour or so. Wade just loves the beach and has run and played so hard these last two days. He was covered in sand today; it was everywhere. He never wants to sit in my lap and about four times today in climbed on up and covered me with sand as well. Needless to say he went right in the bath when we got in. We went out with Josh's parents for dinner and had a great time. We tried to make it to the outlets since we had babysitters but they were already closed. We will go tomorrow; the outlets are one of my favorite things to do at the beach.  I love all the great deals and Wade needs some school clothes!!!! That just makes me laugh because he is so little but he does need some new fall stuff for MMO. I hate we have to leave tomorrow but we are going to stay all day and head back around supper time. We can't wait to come back in October.

We attempted to take a few family pictures tonight and a couple of Wade. We have one from one year ago standing in the same place. I have to say this year was not as easy... we had a wide open one year old who did not want to stand still for a minute. Here is he posing with his new sunglasses on.
