2nd Annual Girls' Beach Trip

Finally remembered to upload my pics from the beach. Such a fun trip!!

We left Thursday afternoon and didn't get to the condo until about 11p or so. The girls had slept for awhile in the car, so they were a mix of delirious and wired when we got there. They immediately got out dress up clothes, jewelry and tea party sets and began to play while Lori and I unloaded.

Our crazy girls...

Despite going to bed about 2am---Reese was up about 7a ready to go to the beach. So, we went down and walked around for a bit in our jammies...

The next day, the girls played great together on the beach. The water had made what Reese called a "river" that was perfect (though very dirty!) for playing. The girls borrowed someone's board and pulled each other up and down the "river".

That night, we went to Lulu's for dinner. Of course, my little tomboy did not mind at all getting very sandy and making "sand angels", as she called them.

The next night we went to the Wharf, and after dinner took in a ferris wheel ride. Reese saw it when we drove into the Wharf before dinner and begged for a ride. It was her first time on a ferris wheel. Now, any of you who really know me, know that I am PETRIFIED of heights. So, my friends, the fact that I did this with Reese is pure love.

I love the look of wonder on Reese's face in this pic...

The next day, it was back to the beach. Reese didn't really love the beach. I think it was so bright and hot for her. So, she spent much of her time in her chair eating.


On our way home, Lori had the brilliant idea to stop by Claire's in Foley and get the girls a little bit of jewelry. It was a great way to keep the girls from being disappointed and whiny about leaving the beach. When they got out of the car, they both ran straight to the store window and started dreaming of all the jewelry they were going to get!!

Well worth the $20 we spent in there!!
