We left last Thursday and went to the beach. We had amazing weather and two great full days on the beach. My parents and Brian's parents were both there so we had lots of help with the girls. We were able to celebrate my birthday on Friday with a great dinner and a delicious Strawberry pound cake and some ice cream. Hailey woke up on Friday and announced that is was only beach day and not my birthday. After dinner we all had to run some errands and pick up things that we were getting low on for breakfast and Hailey informed my parents that she had to buy me a card. So she did pick out a very sweet birthday card for me all by herself.
Hailey has come a long way from just last year on the beach where it would take her a few days to even touch the sand and she was scared of the waves and had to have someone hold her to go in the water. Now she runs down the boardwalk and just dives into the sand. She was covered in sand from head to toe and couldn't care less. She now has no fear of the ocean and just walk in up to her neck. Brian taught her how to body surf and she just thought that was the best. She is already counting the days till we can go back to the beach in August.
Mackenzie loved the beach as well. She wasn't a huge fan of the dry sand and would just sit in her beach chair and jibber jabber non stop. But as soon as she got on the wet sand and the waves would come at her she was all excited. She would just sit and splash and then crawl around the whole beach. Next time we go she will be running (I hope, but who knows we never imagined that she wouldn't be walking by 16 months) all over the beach and we won't be able to catch up and probably wishing she wasn't so mobile.
