We were excited to have one last summer hurrah at the beach as the Forks had their beach house the second weekend of September. We were expecting summer weather; what we got was a cold front and more rain than we thought possible. What a bummer! But we rallied and were on the beach any moment it wasn't raining and ate good food and relaxed whenever we couldn't be on the beach. Some photos...
When the long car trip was finally over, Collins and Brian went to go see the beach. Before Brian could stop her, she was running straight into the ocean fully clothed. Then she got out and face plopped right into the sand. Someone was excited to get back to the beach...
I took a morning walk and it started out beautiful. Before I knew it, dark clouds had rolled in and I was caught in the middle of a rainstorm.
Collins ran towards the storm instead of away from it...
She was rewarded with a few splashes in the tidal pools before the rain started again...
We kept ourselves busy indoors with some stretching...
drawing (a picture of a whale family)...
and eating.
When the sun finally made an appearance, we headed straight for the beach...
Wrightsville Beach was recently refurbished and now has wonderful tidal pools. Collins made us each choose a tidal pool and name it- she named hers the "Let it Go" pool. :) Although happy in this photo, Addie was still not a fan of the beach this trip. We are keeping our fingers crossed she will outgrow this feeling!
I loved the footie pajama look for a late-night ride over to the dock...
Brian and Collins started our last morning in the water...I started mine with some coffee and a good book on the beach. We were all happy!
Many thanks to the Forks for a fun trip!
