I don’t know of a human alive who can go to the beach and not feel as though all they do is eat themselves silly! Eating always seems to be at the heart of a beach week! My little eater Bess showed up her Uncle Jeffery when she polished off a carton of crab dip! Who knew the child would eat crab dip?! And just when you thought no one was looking… even when you were being extra sneaky… you got caught eating the cheese balls!!!
The afternoons at Pawley’s were perfect for the big kids to play and little man and one lucky winner to stay back home for a quick nappy! It was calm, quiet and so relaxing. After sweet Ben woke up, to the front porch we would head to see the sights of the marsh!
After this year, I am truly questioning why we have ever gone to the beach without a wagon?! Seriously the best item we had with us! Each day, Bessie and Ben took to their seats, piled high with gear, and headed off to the sand that awaited us! BEST.IDEA.EVER!!!
Bess was all over the place this year at the beach. Although her boogie board is bigger than she is, it was never a problem for this surfer girl! She was determined to ride the waves and show her moves!
Ben continued to be amused by the sand in the puddles! He loved to cover his hands up in it and watch it fall off! He quickly learned you could cover others in sand and boy, did he find that amusing! He was a happy camper in his puddles!
Charlie was anxious to learn to use the skin board this year at Pawleys. Not that I could offer much support or guidance here, he did the best he could!
When I say Wylie loved boogie boarding, I mean every word of it! She was in the water from start to finish unless you gave her a snack and then Junkfood Jane was quick to break! She absolutely loved it!!
Lucy and Bessie continued to be best buddies all week! These 2 were never far from one another. Their little giggles and screams were so much fun to watch and hear!
These 3 were happy to kill many beach hours playing mermaid in the sand!
I snapped this sweet pic of all 4 girls feet! Wish I could have recorded the video of their sweet laughter too!
You aren’t relaxed on the beach unless you can fall asleep in your chair! Clearly DooDad had no problem doing this and Ben was quick to show he could do it too! Amen for catnaps on the beach!
In an effort to keep up healthy despite the disgusting amounts of beach junk food, Amy lead us in yoga on the rainy afternoons to entertain the children we so badly needed to settle down! Clearly my children have the yoga moves!
What do you do when it rains and the beach and you have 5 antsy kids all inside a beach house. Answer: give them glow in the dark glasses and tell them to play in a closet! Worked like a charm! Thank you Dollar Store for all that you have!!!
Jeffery helped keep the moods of our lunchtime crew happy and patient while lunch was being served by playing pirates with the kiddos! Just look at the many faces a pirate can have!!
Pretty sure… life at the family beach week is truly wonderful!
