Life's a beach!

At the beginning of the month we took the boys on their very first vacation to Rosemary Beach! Ari and Noah were terrific on the drive down, and on the drive back...we didn't even have to stop! The house that we stayed in was perfect and didn't need much baby proofing. The first night was miserable because the boys wouldn't sleep, but once they got used to their new surroundings, everything was great! Just like their mommy, they HATED the sand! They wouldn't even sit down on a towel that was laying on the sand. We had to hold them the whole time, but thankfully they enjoyed the water, so we were able to get plenty of swimming in.

My mom went with us, which was a HUGE help! I really can't imagine what the trip would have been like had the four of us gone by ourselves. I know that we will in the future, but it would have been quite difficult without an extra set of hands.

Thankfully, the beach was still beautiful and unaffected by the oil. We made it by just a week or two! I know that each time we go back, it'll be a little easier. Hopefully next year they'll enjoy playing in the sand...and will even walk on it if we're lucky! : )


The boys loved walking to the beach every day!



And thankfully, they loved wearing their hats!





Snacks were an absolute must!








We brought Ari and Noah's toys down in a tupperware storage container,
which they turned into a new toy using their creative imaginations!


The boys loved the freedom of being able to run around!
