First day at the beach

Well, we made it to the beach! It was a very uneventful car ride- we seperated the 4 kids so that they didn't get too tired of each other before we got here! The kids headed right to the beach! We were so lucky to get the same condo as last year which overlooks the pool on the bay side! Grandpa Gary & Grandma Karen are so nice to take us on vacation! It is not very crowded here, they are sold out but only one other person is in our building! Sam & Brooke headed right into the ocean with all of their clothes on! They were so excited to look for crabs & they even found 2! Then we headed to the pool- the pool is great it has a kiddie area with sprayers and then also a lazy river! After dinner we headed to the beach again- this time with Max (16 months) and Emerson (23 months). They are total opposites! Max headed right to the water and sat down and was covered in sand within 10 seconds~ Emerson on the other hand screamed when her feet hit the sand and wanted to be carried! She did get her feet wet once but she cried and cried! She did the same thing last year but we thought maybe she would like the beach this year. Everytime we would try to put her down she would lift her feet and refuse to stand up! Maybe she will do better today! We even told her to hold Max's hand and she reached for it then noticed it was covered with sand and pulled her hand away! I think we need to work on letting our little princess get dirty sometimes!
