Beach Trip!

Yesterday, we got back from a long weekend in Wilmington, North Carolina at Nana & Papa's beach house. While the time away was not all that relaxing (how can it be with two infants?!?), it was nice to be away and be with the kids all day for five straight days.

First night in NC

Andrew got to see his GGM!

And tried to explore all over Nana & Papa's house!

Our cousins, Dave and Meghan also came down to visit while we were there.  Paige discovered her new best friend:)

Paige LOVED Meghan!

And especially loved her hair:)

We did make it to the beach once....and learned that our children HATE the beach! They screamed as soon as they saw the water, screamed louder when we attempted to dip their feet in, and Andrew continued to scream sitting under the beach tent on a towel with toys.  The pictures are lacking, as we were quite occupied with the kids, but I did capture the five minutes we were somewhat happy:)

Cute matching hats from Kathleen!

Paige did a little better....if she couldn't see the water!

Andrew hated the sand

And Paige liked to cover her feet in it and then eat them!

Really, we had a much better time at home playing and hanging out as a family.

And they did GREAT for 5.5 hours in the car.  They each took one long nap and then just required a little entertaining to make it through the rest of the ride:)

Next trip in just a couple weeks - our first plane ride to Grandma and Grandpa's place on the beach in Florida.  We're hoping the babies decide they like the ocean by then! And that they take nice long naps on the plane...We are already dreading the dirty looks we'll likely get when boarding:)
