I know, I
know I'm a few weeks behind... Can I use having triplets as an excuse?
The beach
was wonderful!!! We went with good friends and our nanny graciously agreed to
give up her long weekend and join us at the beach, which meant we had 7 adults
for 7 kids. 6 of the 7 are 2 and
under! We stayed at our friend,
Abbey's house, and it was beautiful and laid out perfectly for all the people
we have. She also has a 3 month
old little boy, so it was fun to have all the boys together!
It was
such a relaxed weekend. We hung
out on the beach during the days and just watched movies/college football in
the afternoon and evenings. We did
get the opportunity to go out one evening after the kids were in bed, no we
didn't leave them alone! It had
been awhile since Dan and I had grown up time with another couple. Sad thing is we were all so tired that
we were home by 11. Haha!
Maddy
loved the ocean and played down by the water the whole time we were at the
beach. She and Joleigh dug a huge
hole on the last day, and by huge I mean, I couldn't see her when she was down
in it! I am so happy that she is
so comfortable in the ocean, because that's my favorite place to be! I think I spent a couple hours in the
water!
The boys
were great and liked being on the beach because I'd let them sleep however they
positioned themselves. Garrett
would wiggle to his side and almost to his belly and just pass out. He loved it. I think they liked the warmth of the sand.

| Hanging out on the beach, no matter how far apart I put them they always wiggled back to one another. |
 |
| AHHH QUADS! It was pretty funny watching people count babies. The "extra" little guy is a few weeks older than the trips. |
 |
| Soaking wet, sandy, and eating some french fries; can't get much better! |
 |
| Right hook to the face! That's not very nice, Garrett! |
 |
| My "Things" hanging out in the evening. |

| The whole clan before we left to come home. The girls loved having real live baby dolls all weekend! |
Our
return trip home was long, but everyone was really good in the car. And the best part was everyone was
healthy and eating like champs!
I'm so glad we decided to head to the beach even though the kiddos were
sick that week. We needed the
break!
