Sandbridge Vacation

We spent a week at our favorite local beach – Sandbridge.  We rented a condo and had a few days of overcast and rain.  Brooke and Alex got to try boogie boarding for the first time and they had a great time with it!  Oma and Opa joined us at the beach and brought the sunshine with them.  We had beautiful sunny days for the rest of the trip even though it rained a few nights. We had a lot of fun building numerous sand castles, making mermaids and octopuses out of the children, lots of swimming in the ocean, relaxing on the beach, and more boogie boarding.  We also had a first for Brooke when she lost her first tooth!  It had been wiggly for about a month and decided to come out at the beach.  The kiddos had a lot of fun at the condo too, playing with Oma and Opa and the treasure hunt game Oma made for them.  On the last night we climbed the lifeguard towers before heading home the next day.

 

Rainy Marshmallows

AJ wanted to roast marshmallows and didn’t let a little rain get in the way of that! 🙂

Kids Hammocks

I bought the kids a fun hammock that they could share.  It is wrap around material so they would not fall out and I put it near their playhouse about a foot off the ground.  Naturally, they both wiggled and fought each other in the hammock which necessitated me buying a second hammock.  Now they both have their own and can hold hands and swing each other but have their own space.

They finished off the afternoon by going and getting their own snack from inside and then getting their own table to eat it at.

 

Deep Creek Park Playtime

It has been so cool and nice lately that I can actually take the kids to the park instead of having them in water to stay cool.  We ventured to Deep Creek Park for the morning.

Let’s Go Fly a Kite

It was gorgeously cool outside and windy so we decided to walk to our local park to fly a kite and have a picnic.
