Folly Beach, part two

Thursday, we woke up and had a slow morning. Ate pancakes, drank coffee, watched PBS Kids, and made it to the beach around 10:30am. 

The kids and I dug a deep pool and Ruthie plopped right in a called in her bathtub! Haha. Eventually, the tide moved out, and we filled in our bathtub and started making sand castles. Mike and I had subs for lunch but we forgot to get the kids Lunchables as planned (WINNING), luckily, we had plenty of snacks, so they were pretty happy with that!

After a couple hours, this little one was ready for a nap. We parked it under our rented beach chairs (best splurge, y'all.) and I snuggled and prayed she would fall asleep. She snuggled in and would occasionally point to people around us, "Mama, he need shirt." She has a thing with shirtless men. She doesn't approve. She eventually fell asleep, slept for maybe a hourish, and woke up in a super happy mood!

While she was sleeping, Mike and J went to get ice cream cones from the pier. They also had fun playing in the tide pools and tossing around a mini football. After she was awake, Mike went to chill under the umbrella and the kids and I were back to playing and digging. I buried both of their legs in the sand and that was, apparently, hilarious.

The both really loved playing in the waves today! R is a little fearless and wants to keep going further out. J is a little more cautious. But both had fun playing in the waves with us! The beach is so much fun with kids, as long as you don't expect to relax. Plan on getting sand EVERYwhere and just playing. And its just the best! :)

After the beach, we showered and changed (so glad we all had a full change of clothes today!) and went to get pizza for dinner. J was so tired he ate dinner lying down!

Day three! We had pancakes, coffee, and PBS Kids again. We cleaned, packed, double checked drawers, and headed out. We stopped in North Charleston to the check out the Fire Museum, which the kids enjoyed, and went to a super yummy middle eastern buffet for lunch. Made it home in time for dinner and that rolls up our trip!

Not trip related because Bella was boarded, but she was being awfully cute when we got home!
