Outside Weekend

We had a gorgeous weekend and tried to soak in as much sun and fresh air as we could. The girls were very excited about their new baby pool Daddy got at Target. I think it is the perfect size for them and has really fun attachments. I foresee lots of days this summer playing in the baby pool. Probably everyone will get so tired of seeing the same pictures of the girls in the pool with their same 4 bathing suit selections. But, that is probably what we will be doing at the Meece house with this hot summer comin:)

Bbbbrrrr! It gets a little cold when you get out.

Sunday we went to a new beach we had heard about called Yorktown Beach. It was only a quick 1 1/2 hr drive. It is on the bay side- so there were hardly any waves and it was fairly shallow wading water. As soon as we got to the beach and I put Savannah down she immediately took off running straight to the water and I had to drop everything and chase her. She ran straight in and then froze in about 2 seconds with water up to her ankles. She clearly didn't remember the ocean from last year and I think she was thinking it would feel like bath water or something. She was so shocked that it was "cold" (it actually felt very refreshing), she didn't really want to have much to do with the ocean the rest of the day. I finally at least got her to get her feet in the water and throw a ball out to me in the water.
The beach got really packed by the end of the day, but we had gotten there early and had a good spot up by the water. Not as nice as the Outer Banks of course, but a really nice beach for such a short drive.

Lunch break...the girls did so good eating out of their element. They don't really do "picnic" style meals very often, but they chowed down on some PP&J, cheese, grapes, & goldfish. (which actually sounds like a yummy lunch to me too)

Sky playing with the cool bubble wand.....

Heeyyy!!! I want that wand....

And now I have it .......

Savannah ended up spending at least our last 30 minutes on the beach playing with the beach cart. She was tipping it up and down and then laid it flat on the ground and jumped on it like a trampoline. Whatever works:)
