Sun & Sand... sounds relaxing. Well, gone are the days of laying out, reading books, and not having a care in the world. Insert one-year old twins. Kind of last minute, we decided to check out Yorktown Beach for the day, and use it as a good "dry run" for our beach vacation. The good news - it went awesome, and despite taking a lot of stuff, the girls did so good. Annabeth & Georgia met us there, and I'm glad they did because it took all four adults to get set up and wrangle babies. We had so much fun :)

| Lesson learned: snack on a blanket, so babies don't drop goldfish into the sand and then try to eat them |
The girls sat next to the water in the sand and played for a good hour and a half to two hours. It was so fun, and I loved watching them enjoy it (and not eat sand... that was a miracle in itself).

| love this view :) |

After lunch, we got the sand removed from our shoes and inside our bathing suits and attempted a nap. Keyword: attempted. Lesson learned for our beach vacation: nap inside the house.
 |
| not napping, but not crying either |
 |
| the girls laughed and laughed and laughed at each other... stealing pacifiers and just playing together |

After the nap was unsuccessful and we were all hot, we decided to just head on home. We weren't too far from home when I had the crazy idea to go to the pool after eating a snack to wash off all the sand. What better time than now to wear our THIRD bathing suit for the day, and our very first bikini?!
 |
| I heard them laughing hysterically and peeked around to see them sharing their PB&J |
 |
| genius idea: floats in baby pool |
Cue the most adorable bikini babes:
 |
| we've been working hard on our bikini bods! |
 |
| how did we get so lucky? |
What a fun Saturday! We all slept so hard... and Daniel and I couldn't get enough of how much fun we had, despite the hard work.
 |
| so.much.laughing this weekend! |
Because we didn't get enough sun on Saturday, we decided we had to go to the pool on Sunday... this time with Nana & Papa!
 |
| E&S... Sydney can't handle life with two shoes on, ever. |

 |
| I can't even. |
 |
| goldfish time! |
 |
| we can do "cheers!" anytime - even with our snack containers |
What a fun weekend... so many good memories, and plenty of exhaustion :)
