so i took a lot of photos while we were at the beach, and i hope no one is bored of beach photos, because there are a lot of photos in this one, but i promise it is the last! haha not sure why i feel the need to promise that, but there you go. we had so much fun on this beach trip, and we really packed a lot into our three full days there. it seems like every trip we take we are kicking ourselves for not planning one more day/night than we think we need because inevitably, the trip always feels way too short. but even though we would have loved another day, every single day was completely maximized, helped in no small part by the fact that every day at nap time grandma and grandpa (my in-laws) stayed at the beach house while the three littles napped (even wilder!) and we got to go back to the beach sans kiddos! this made a huge difference in our beach time! as anyone with little kids knows, when you go somewhere with your kids, it is always mostly about them and their needs (as it should be) and so getting to have two full hours every afternoon to ourselves where we got to lay around and talk/read/explore was amazing! it really felt like we were there for much longer than 3 days.
here are some of the photos i took of our three mornings on the beach with the kids, chasing them around with my big camera, haha. they really had a great time flying kites, building sand castles (and destroying them), getting buried in the sand (and eating the sand), running around, collecting shells and drawing with sticks in the sand, and i had an even better time watching them have so much fun. :) we also hit up a splashpad that was a short walk from our beach house on our last morning, and again, evie mainly had a blast running around. it was pretty hilarious my trying to take pictures while simultaneously trying to herd her back towards the group and away from the street, etc. her energy was truly a thing to behold. ;P
