Beach!

We made quick decision Saturday morning to head out to the beach for the day. We would have gotten an early start, but Emily was up all night for some reason and then she slept in until 9 am. So we left around 10:30 and went to Wrightsville Beach for a few hours. It was pretty cloudy which intially I was bummed about, but actually it was way more bearable not having the sun beating down on you. We had packed a lunch so we ate that and then Andy took Emily out to the ocean. After a few minutes, Emily warmed up to playing in the ocean with daddy and then she had a lot of fun playing in the wet sand. She would find the ugly shells and scoop up some wet sand and bring them over to us so happy with what she found. She kept herself very busy doing this. She really enjoyed all the seagulls and kept screeching at them. I had a very relaxing time just laying out reading a book. We love that we are so close to the beach and need to take advantage of it more. It was a very fun (and cheap) day trip.
