Da Beach!

We went to the beach three days in a row this week! Heather had never been to a beach before she came here, so we had to make sure and get in all the beach we could. We went Tuesday Morning for the first big experience. Heather seemed to enjoy it and of course Lorelei was eating the sand as usual! Wednesday we went in to Norfolk to meet Brad for lunch and then headed out to the beach again in the afternoon. We did some shopping as well as hauled all of our beach gear down the boardwalk to see the exciting King Neptune statue! We were already exhausted and hadn't even hit the sand yet! Lorelei enjoyed helping with the umbrella and her usual sand toys. Then Thursday was supposed to be "history day" but we had a change in plans (read soon to be next post "history day" to find out more) so we headed out to Sandbridge, the less touristy beach, with Brad along this time because he took an extra day off to join in our adventures. All of us enjoyed the usual, with a few mishaps, such as our umbrella breaking (its more like a flag now) as well as our big sand bucket...time for some new beach stuff! Lorelei starts screaming and waving her hands with excitement as soon as she sees we are walking to the beach. She can't seem to get enough of playing in the water and sand, as well as eating as much of it as she can sneak in! We even did some boogie boarding as well. By the end of all of these trips I am amazed to say I DO need a break for a week or so! We are so thankful to be able to go any time we want to and glad we could get Heather's toes in the ocean. :)
