Weekend at the Beach

This weekend we had a mini-vacation at the beach. We went with friends and had the best time! It wasn't that we did anything spectacular...we just had fun with friends, went somewhere out of the norm and spent time together.
We left Thursday night at bedtime so we got there late and didn't do anything that night. Friday it was pretty chilly and windy but we still got outside as much as we could. We went on some walks, ate lunch at a restaurant on the water, had a really yummy dinner and just hung out....obviously I didn't take any pictures. oops!
But Saturday morning it was perfect! It was pretty warm and hardly any wind so we hit the beach!

Hailey didn't like the sand at first and didn't want to walk on it because it had "holes". But when she saw Ryan walking in the water she quickly changed her mind!

She didn't last long on this towel!

She loved the water...and it was FREEZING! We rolled her pants up and they still got wet! She probably would've walked all the way in if we would've let her. Crazy girl! She loved picking up shells and seeing the bubbles from the water.
She also liked chasing the seagulls, although she called them "eages". Ha! She kept saying "Here eagles! Come here eagles!" and making the kissy noise to get them to come. Hilarious!

This girl loved the beach and sand! She just loved walking and running anywhere she wanted. She picked up a thousand seashells and asked "what's that?" about a hundred times. We told her that Mimi would be able to tell her anything she wanted to know about the beach when we went with them in May! Be ready Mimi!

I love them!

We headed home after lunch on Saturday. It was a quick trip but a much needed one! Check out this exhausted little girl on the way home...she fell asleep not even 5 minutes after we left.

We had a blast and can't wait for the next weekend away! We are so thankful for friends here in Raleigh!
