A Day at the Beach

Brent had a day off today, so we spent a little time at the beach. This was first time Brent and I and the twins have been back to the beach this summer since May, when we were vacationing in South Carolina! (Lauren has gone with other family and friends). The beach is quite a challange with the twins at this age, they have a short attention span and not much time before everyone gets cranky and its time for another nap, so we've haven't ventured out since we had lots of family around to help. But it wasn't the weekend, so we hoped the beach would be a little less busy, and we could sit close to the water for Lauren. The day was beautiful, the waves big-which Lauren loved. The twins got their first feel and taste (!) of the sand--Audrey was content to just feel it between her fingers, Aiden had to get down and dirty- digging in and spreading it all over himself--they both had a great time. And it was great to get back out to enjoy the weather and beach after missing it all summer!
