We just returned from a wonderful trip to Wrightsville Beach with Brian's family and realized we are officially landlocked for awhile. Not a happy thought, but we made plenty of fun beach memories to last us till next year.
There was one worry going into this trip- how loads of sand and sun would affect Collins's healing leg. That's why we got her this...
...a full body, 50+ UV protectant body suit that added a good 5 lbs of weight when wet. That's why Brian took some scissors to it halfway through the week, and a ruffle died. But thankfully the suit did its job and protected her leg, and Collins didn't let it slow her down at all...
When we weren't on the beach, we were hanging out at the beach house watching the Olympics, eating an excess of yummy foods, playing with Collins, and relaxing.
Our last morning at the beach was a rainy one so we headed towards Carolina Beach and the Fort Fisher aquarium. Collins was cool with the two huge thrashing alligators....
and being caught in the jaws of life with Grandpa...
but not with sitting still at the restaurant afterwards. So she and Gigi checked out the Kure Beach pier.
Many thanks to Donna and Marty for a special vacation. Thanks also to Aunt Connie for joining us and making the long trek from Colorado!
