beach vacation

We had a blast in the Outer Banks with our fun friends Amy. Reese, Melinda and Macey. We got rained on, had excessive wind and water leaks...but still enjoyed every day. We attempted to go to the beach most days, but only endured 20 minutes of sand being whipped in our faces. Luckily, we had an indoor pool, lighthouses, loads of toys and games to play with and super people to spend our days with. The day we did get to spend a good chuck of time at the beach, Abel spent trying to escape my grasp to toddle into the water. He was so taken by it and extremely unhappy that I didn't let him. Afton didn't trust in my parenting ability so she ran to Abel, grabbed him by his hood and dragged him back to the blanket with a firm "No Abel!"
