You Guys!!

[EloiseWeenie]

I am so exhausted from sitting on the beach all day

I took a couple pictures on the deck after lunch. It was very sunny, so the backlight was very strong- sorry.

Snuggling with Lolli

Oh hi little snuggler!

I don't feel badly that you're tired from the beach though. No sympathy here.

[jazzym12]

Just like joolz said no sympathy from me!! You guys look like you are having fun though.

[jenna]

That last photo is really sweet.

Where are you vacationing? We're headed to Ocean Isle in July.

[mrscurlygurl]

Yeah, definitely no sympathy. That's the best kind of tired! She's a-dor-a-ble!

[EloiseWeenie]

My parents have a house in Emerald Isle, so luckily we get to come here a lot.

Ocean Isle is fun- although I haven't been there since I was in college.

[jenna]

My family rents a house on the beach every 3-4 years. I think we've stayed on Emerald Isle once.

ETA: This will be our first trip as a family, and with a 17 mo old. Do you have any advice? I'm thinking of having Baby E sleep on a twin inflatable mattress on the floor. He's getting to be too big for a pack-n-play.

[EloiseWeenie]

We used the pack n play up until we moved our toddler to the regular bed (right at 2). I like the containment of the pack n play. I now have him in one of the twin beds with a bed rail (my parents keep a bed rail and pack n play at the house, not sure if your rental has one). The inflatable mattress sounds good, but expect to have a roaming baby. I have seen inflatable toddler mattresses that have sides- I haven't used one but think it's a good idea.

Adorable!

SO cute!! I love her bow. We had a fantastic beach day on Thursday with a friend, but it has been too windy here the rest of the weekend. Stupid tropical storm!! We're hoping to hang out by the pool today-H is off work.

Also, is your parents beach house first row? It looks like an amazing view!!!

[Llama in Mules]

Did she like it? We never actually put Li down in the sand, we knew she would just try to eat it...

[fluff]

Fun!

We live so close to the beach, yet we haven't taken LO there yet. I was going to this weekend, until that tropical system came through.

[EloiseWeenie]

kmart- yes, the house is first row. We love rocking on the deck and watching the water.

liz- we have a designated pack n play for the beach. If I put her on the ground, it would be on a towel, but she's perfectly happy playing in the pack n play. I don't just put her on the beach because I don't want her to eat sand. If a baby eats too much, they'll get diarrhea (my cousin found this out). When my son is playing on the water's edge, I'll take her down and dip her toes in. She doesn't love it, but she doesn't hate it either. She'd rather sit in the pack n play and watch the ocean.

You people with your beaching is killing me! We are landlocked.

[Llama in Mules]

We got a beach tent and I insisted on one with a floor but dh didn't bring it because he didn't think he weather would be nice enough to go out to the beach. I also got a big blanket that sand falls through. Next time...

[EloiseWeenie]

We use a tent too, it's like a tailgating tent.

Come visit! I am in walking distance!

I really want to move close to the beach. DH has been seriously considering applying for a transfer to a location near Savannah, Georgia.
