Family Beach Day

We had a beautiful Saturday and decided it was definitely time for a beach trip. It had been a couple of weeks since our last visit so was highly overdue! Of course, I have issues passing up a Saturday without any garage saling...so we decided to do both...probably will not do that again. :)

Left the house right after 8 and hit up one community that was having around 40 garage sales in their area. Had some great finds including a bath toy Lorelei LOVED playing with tonight, of course a few baby boy outfits, and then the big unexpected find - a bookshelf! Now Lorelei's books are nice and organized with room to spare. :)

Got to the beach around 10:30 and enjoyed about two hours of play time. With the umbrella up, it wasn't hot at all and we got to somewhat relax and enjoy our time while Lorelei played in the sand.

Pictures you may want to know more about...middle picture - Brad and Lorelei enjoying the funnels I got last Saturday, what a great sand toy idea I got from someone! :) Bottom left - Lorelei excited to get her cup of water. :) Then next to that is Brad filling up the big sand bucket of water while she filled her cup. Middle right - Lorelei happy in her carseat after getting home...we didn't bother to get her dressed after and she stayed awake amazingly well on the way home, enjoying some goldfish snacks. :)



We then topped off the day with Lorelei only taking at 30 minute nap (grrr!), trying out our infant carrier on the Check's double stroller as we are possibly getting one off craigslist, and then checking out a rental home in the area! Was a crazy day. :)
