Day 156: Beach Day 6

Today was our last day at the beach. Tomorrow morning we'll pack up and go home. The girls had a great time playing in the ocean today. Paige joined Virginia in the surf and squealed with delight. Here is a wave hitting all four of us: Ben, Paige, me and Virginia, and the girls couldn't have loved it more!

Day 155: Beach Day 5

Today we decided to take the girls to the pool instead of the beach. Virginia took right to it. Paige wasn't so sure at first, but it didn't take long for her to start really enjoying it. They both enjoyed sitting in their floats, "swimming" with Mommy and Daddy, walking laps around the pool and sitting on the edge of the pool with Mimi and Pops. Here are Mimi and Paige enjoying sitting on the edge of the pool.

Day 154: Beach Day 4

Today we decided to take the day off from the beach and went to the Aquarium. Mimi and Pops wanted to take the girls to check out the aquarium and we thought the girls could use a break from the sun and their beach shoes, so we decided it would be a good day to hit up the aquarium. The girls loved it! Paige wasn't quite sure about things when we first walked in, but then she saw fish and went crazy. She was running around looking at everything and loving it all. Virginia was the more reserved one today, but she was also running around after a bit. After we went through the whole aquarium we checked out the stuff outside, which included a sea turtle statue that the girls could climb on. Here are Virginia and Paige hanging out on that turtle.

Day 153: Beach Day 3

While Virginia loves playing in the water, Paige isn't as big a fan. She likes to follow her sister, or lead the way sometimes, to the water's edge, but after the waves hit her once she wants to be held. She really enjoys watching Virginia play in the water from the vantage point of her mommy's hip. Look at how much fun Paige and I were having.

Day 152: Beach Day 2

Virginia could not have had more fun this morning playing in the surf. She dragged me down there and I wasn't sure we were ever going to get out of the water. She laughed and squealed with delight. As soon as the tide would go out a bit and stop hitting her she'd ask for more. It was great fun!

Day 151: Beach Day 1

Paige and Virginia had a great first day on the beach. They played at the water's edge a bit, played in the sand under the canopy and loved playing with their baby pool. As you can see they didn't mind getting sandy at all. In their minds, the more sand the better.

Day 150: Checking out the beach!

I am now able to pick up a wireless internet connection, but the connection is not very strong. I'm hoping to be able to do daily photo updates, though.

Sunday evening after we got to the beach Virginia and Pops went to check things out. I sneaked behind them and caught this wonderful moment with the two of them checking out the view from the end of the walkway.
