Beach trip of 2011

We decided that with a baby coming in early July, our one and only chance for a beach trip would be Memorial Day weekend! So, here we are! We got to Ocean Isle last night and went straight to Sharky's for Shawn's favorite flounder sandwich with a "cold beer" to kick off the trip! Memama met us there and we had a great dinner. The kids were super excited to get out on the beach today and boy did we have fun!! We got out around 10:00 and the weather was perfect! Low 80's and a great breeze and there was hardly any crowd at all. The kids were in absolute heaven. It was so fun to watch them play together this year as opposed to last year when Braxton wasn't too sure of what to do. They ran from the water together and jumped over the small waves. Then we went for a "shell walk" to collect shells. Shawn dug out a small pool for the tide to fill in and the kids loved playing in that too. It was so much fun and they are already super excited to go back out tomorrow, especially now that DeeDee and Poppi are here!
