We took a mini vacay to the beach last weekend and had the most perfect trip. Noel's aunt and uncle have a gorgeous beach house at Atlantic Beach and were so kind to let us stay there for a few nights. (Thank you!!) The weather was amazing, and the boys proved themselves to be little beach bums...loving the water and never wanting to leave the sand.
Because of the boys' love for the beach, we kept them up way past their bedtimes to play for a little bit longer and to eat lots of ice cream. I thought this would make them sleep in a little bit, but nope (!)...the first morning Charlie was up early singing, "Beach time, Mommy!!", the second morning I woke up to find him mopping the floor (he really is my child), and the 3rd morning I found him in Walker's crib playing cars....all at 7am.
2 things that really helped us on the beach.... A beach cart, we have one pretty much identical to this one, and a pop up disposable trash can that I found at Target in the summer section for $3. I hate having garbage shoved in my bag, so this was a super easy way to keep things clean!
I'm so glad I was able to spend this time with my boys. I do love the beach and can't wait to go back soon!

Dang, that sounds just amazing. Now you've made me want to go to the beach! Maybe while we're in DC before it gets cold we'll find a nice beach spot.

I adore all of these pictures!!! Especially that first one! Y'all are just so cute. Glad you had a great time....we're going to the beach in July and I'm so ready! :)

LOVE your hat! I have one just like it but never thought to have it monogrammed. Good idea! My boys have the same bathing suit as Charlie. You have such a cute family!
Is the beach house in carteret county? That's where we live. I'm wondering why in the world neither me nor my sister in laws who are frequent beach goers don't have a beach cart. Definitely will show this to them.
awww you have SUCH a beautiful family! these pictures totally made me smile... your little boys are so cute and enthusiastic. We haven't yet ventured to the beach with our little one yet... mostly because she's deathly afraid of water! haha.
thanks for sharing!

This sounds like such a fun little trip - and your photos are exquisite and capture so much energy!
A disposable trash can is a great idea for the beach or even a trip to the park! Your little guys sound like they had so much fun, they wouldn't even let a little thing like sleep Get I the way of beach time. Lol.
Oh wonderful. I love the beach so much! You are making me wish I were there, haha! Glad you guys had a great time! :)
Ohmygoodness these boys...they are too adorable. And I am loving the monogrammed hat!
Cute pictures! Glad you had fun and how awesome to be able to stay right by the beach.
Awesome! We'll be making a beach trip soon as well, last year Maddie was not feeling it so hopefully she's old enough to enjoy it this time.
Don't you just love how much NC has to offer? The perfect place to raise children in my opinion! The boys definitely look like they had an amazing time!
My kids love the beach too! Don't you just love beach photos??? one of my favs.
Love that first picture of you in the sunhat! We have our beach trip coming up in 3 weeks....eeek! Can't wait :)
