Our mini-vacation at the beach

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

Last weekend we stayed at the beach (just one night) at my grandmother's upstairs apartment, Mariner's Lookout, and the kids had a great time. Mom and Dad didn't get much sleep because Sean was pretty fussy all night, but the weather was great. Not too hot, not too cold. The water, however...brrrrr. Caityn swam anyway :)

Here's some photos I took of our fun weekend.

Since it was still pretty cool and cloudy when we first pulled in Sat morning, we decided to take a walk to the park at the end of the bay in hopes that the fresh air would help Sean sleep. It worked! He fell asleep in the stroller on the walk back.





After Sean's nap, we camped out on the beach for some fun in the sun. Sean enjoys his tasty carrot flavored wagon wheel, but later decided a rubber mallet was more fun.

Caityn braved the chilly water, and spent a lot of time perfecting her sand castle.

Here is the view from the apartment window. It turned out to be a beautiful weekend once the clouds burned off.

The kiddos took over the big bed, sending Abel to sleep on the floor. I had a small section of bed on the other side of Sean.
Abel still looks a little tired after a long night with Sean. Ummm....I think I was the one who was up walking him around!
Caityn can't resist walking along any wall that she sees, including the sea wall on the boardwalk.
Sean is just happy to ride in his stroller. No falling asleep in the stroller this morning. Oh well.

A good time was had by all; too bad it wasn’t for longer.
