Beach Babes and Boy

They're switching floors at Nate's office, so he had yesterday off, aside from a little work to do at home. Nice! So we took advantage and went to the beach. So much fun! But a lot, lot, lot of work. We went to a State Park to avoid the crowds, and we found a nice beach. Rach wasn't too sure of the waves at first, but got used to them and had a lot of fun, just as long as she was holding someone's hand, her hat, her bucket, or once, Whitney's leg. (I was wearing a sling to hold Whitney, but you'll notice that there are no pictures of me. I just had a baby seven weeks ago and I'm not ready to have my legs all over the internet. Or even on my blog.)

Whit got some sand in her mouth at the beginning, not her favorite or mine, but after a while she liked being in the shade. Cutest little beach babe.

Sand Castles!!

Who took that picture?? They have some amazing photography skills, catching that bird and everything!

Here are some things I will do differently next time we hit the beach:

• Get the girls in their suits in the parking lot, not the beach
• Sunscreen before we get to the beach
• Take Whitney's bouncer
• Take a lawn chair and nursing cover
  
• Take a big sheet instead of a bunch of towels to sit on, the sand sticks to the towels
• Get a beach umbrella
• Have a big bottle of water in the car to get the sand off once our adventure is done
