Beach!

We decided to be a little spontaneous on Labor Day and made a last minute trip to the beach. We managed to leave the house by 9:30... which was amazing since we decided to go about 7:30.


We usually go to Wrightsville, but decided to try Atlantic Beach this time since we always have parking issues at Wrightsville on holidays. Atlantic was definitely further away, but we found a spot right away and it was free!

The girls were SO excited to be going to the beach. They played in the sand for awhile, ate a lunch we packed and then hit the ocean. Andy tried to take Sarah out, but she is still not a fan of the water. Emily loves jumping over the waves. She squeals in delight everytime. Every once in awhile she would get water in her face and run back to dry it off and then run right back in the ocean.
 







 

Emily and I sat on the boogie board right at the edge of the ocean for a really long time. We just talked and told each other stories about princesses and unicorns. She really had me laughing with her imagination!



These pictures could have been a lot cuter if her hair wasn't in her face, but it was windy and she hates me doing her hair, so I couldn't fix it. And we don't worry about things like that when we are at the beach, right??!

Oh how fun!! I didn't know you took a 'spontaneous' trip to the beach on Labor day! How fun!! Sometimes those are the best trips, and so carefree. I love that you and Emily sat by the water and talked about princesses & unicorns! What a cute mommy moment. Love all the pictures!
