Bums...

...Beach Bums, that is!
Hallelujah!
We FINALLY got our butts to the beach, and it was fabulous!
After weeks of planning, cancelling, and rescheduling, we packed up our "fun bus" :) and took the little princess to the beach for her, well OUR, first time as a family

I have been avoiding the beach during the week {I would be there EVERY day of my life} because Jason (and I) want to do most of Gwen's "firsts" all together.  I don't want to have to tell him how her first day at the beach, carnival, baseball game, etc., I (we) want him to share in the experience. 

SO I waited.

And waited.

And waited some more... I mean it's AUGUST already, people!
{It wasn't his fault, or anyone else's.  We just have had SO much to do every weekend that there was no time left to fit in the beach}

Well, yesterday was my our breaking point, so we headed off for a day {few hours, we didn't want to push our luck} of sun and fun :)  And guess what?!?

Gwen LOVED it!
{so did her Mommy & Daddy}

She wasn't afraid, played in the sand, kicked and splashed in the water, and was the perfect little beach baby.  It was such a fun time, and everything that we hoped it would be...

And the best part?  Now, Miss Gwen and I can spend any day we want at the beach {yippee}!  Anyone care to join us?!?

Prepping for the "big" waves

Love our little family :)

Jumping waves with Daddy

Sand... it looked like it would taste good, but didn't, lol.

"Enough pics, Ma!"

As much fun as we had, it still feels like the weekends are NEVER long enough.
Hope your weekend was wonderful!
xoxo.
