First Beach Trip -- Sunset Beach!

Mia's first beach trip was a success!  We headed to Sunset Beach, NC this past weekend and had a great time.  The weather was amazing!  We were a little worried about the road trip.  Mia hasn't been on a road trip since her NY trip when she was 7 weeks old-- can you believe that she is 24 weeks old now!?!  She did great!  Uncle Justin and Aunt Steph road in the backseat and kept her entertained until the last 15 minutes, then she had a melt down.  Just in time for us to stop at the grocery store, pick up last minute items, and get her out of her carseat.

Once we arrived at the beach house it was operation BEACH TIME!  We had a lot of fun testing out the sand, water, sun, all for the first time.  Here are a few pictures of the first day.

Elyn loved the water this year!  She still isn't a fan of the sand.  Which made it easier to watch her because she wouldn't crawl off the blanket.  I am sure next beach trip won't be so easy :)  Mia was the polar opposite.  She was not a fan of the water at all but enjoyed digging in the sand.  Perfect pair these little girls!

Saturday was matching bathing suit day!  Aunt Colleen bought the girls matching bathing suits.  They looked so cute, these pictures just do not do the suits justice!

The cooking crew!  Thanks for making sure we got fed guys.

This is my favorite!  Mia is all snuggled up with me. 

Jenna took some shots from the crows nest.  This is the view from the top of the house. 

Sunday morning started out with a nice walk on the beach.

We had such a great time.  Looking forward to many more beach trips like this with great family and friends.  Hopefully next time Mia likes the water!!
