Beach Fun!

Michael got up this morning and went fishing so it was the girls & Troy at the house. Julia slept until 9:00! Once we had eaten breakfast the great beach debate began. It looked like it could rain, but the radar also said it could look like that all day so we decided to go ahead and risk it at the beach and if it started raining then we could just come back to the house.
When we got to the beach the girls wanted a snack so I gave Julia a "pop tart" (cereal bar). She dropped a piece of it so I threw it to the birds. That was quickly followed by her chasing a bird up and down the beach yelling "Come back my bird! Here! Eat your pop tart!" Of course she couldn't go up and down the beach without stopping to talk and I was told yet again that she I had a little politican on my hands!

The girls had so much fun playing on the beach. Carie said that was the most Betsy has ever played in the sand! It was so much easier than having just Julia on the beach because she had Betsy to play with so she didn't spend her time running up and down the beach trying to make friends!

There were 2 kite surfers in front of us. They were neat to watch , they got pretty far out in the water!

When we got back to the beach house (we spent about 2 hours on the beach), Michael was back so we ate lunch and then the girls and their Daddies took naps while Carie and I went to Pier Park. We set out to go to the Carters store for the girls, but came home with nothing for the girls and something for us! I don't know if that's ever happened before!

Tonight we loaded up and headed down to Seaside to eat at Bud and Alley's. After dinner we walked around a little bit and got some ice cream.

Everyone has headed off to bed now and I'm hoping for another 9:00 morning tomorrow!
