Summer lovin'

I can't believe it's May 23rd and 90 degrees outside! Only in Michigan do we get this kind of weather. We're not ones to take good weather like this for granted, so after naps I packed the girls up and headed to the beach. There was a little wind so I thought it would be slightly cooler at the beach. I didn't have Abby put on her bathing suit and that was a mistake. Even though the water was only 55 degrees, Abby wanted to play in it. So...I let her play and play and play. She got completely drenched. I mean, COMPLETELY drenched. This is how she started and you can guess the rest. She loves water. She would jump and jump and then run to build a sandcastle and use her sand toys, and then back into the water. The beach was packed! I couldn't believe how many people were there. We had to wait in line to get in and I worried that it would be full, but we got a great parking spot. We ran into so many people we knew.
Grace loved it too. This wasn't her first trip to the beach, but it was her first time to actually sit on the sand and play. She ended up covered in sand. I think I might have taken gallons and gallons of sand home in my car. Don't you just love her hat? And the sand ring around her mouth?
As soon as we got home it was into the tub with these two. They still can't get away from the water. :)

They each have gotten so BIG since I left. I laughed at Abby's shirt. Have fun trying to get her to not wear her watermelon shirt everyday this summer.
