Beach Babies

Labor day week we went to Frisco beach right past Haterass it was about a 5 hour drive for us so I was a littl nervous as the babies  do not like their car seats very much. So we figured it would be best to leave at the but crack of  dawn. 4:45AM we were in the car. Where we drove to va dinner and met up with Heather, kevin, Keagan, David, Tracy, Jonathan, and christine.WE hd to wait for everyone to get their SURPRISINGLY we were th first ones there, ha we are never early! We finally  got back on the road around 6:45 AM. Drove for a while then 830AM, Zoey is awake, and hungary, Lillianah was still sleeping so we stopped to feed the babies the beasleys stopped with us to feed Keagan. At this point we had about 2 hours left so I did not want to wake Lillianah so we just fed K and Z. Got back in the car and headed on. we knw this was going to b the rough part bc K and Z were aawake and after MR hurricane earl they had just opened the island back  up that morning at 7 am so you can imagine the one and only highway 12 getting onto all the beaches was packed! It was moving about as slow as, um lets just say I think I saw about 50 turtles pass us! Z was getting a lil fussy and then L woke up!!! Ah It was a long 2 hours! THen we finally got there but our hosue was not ready yet so we could not go in, so we ate lunch, fed the babies in the car, drove around, went out on the ebach for a few and then finally got in!!!! Unpack and got settled. One house 10 adults and 4 babies!! WOW

We set up the tents and took the pack and plays out on the beach, the babies did alot better than I thought they were going to do out on the beach. We kept them in the shade with their toys adn they were content. Atleast we got to drive on the beach bc I could not imagine if we had to walk ouut on the beach, taking everything that we had to take out there!! It was also nice because we got to sit in the car when it was feeding time, I could pump and the babies could cool off and eat.

SOme days were better than others.We had are ups and downs but for the most part it was great. One day we took the ferry over to Oakracoke Island that is when Miss Erin came and stayed with us. It was so wonderful to see her, as it had been a while. But now we havve th joys of erin all the time since she has moved back to good ol' c-field where she will embark on a new journey! On the way over we stayed in the car, and then we went to Howards pub and ate lunch! Then we went out on the beach, it was a long day for the babies but I think they enjoyed them selves as much as we did!

I tell you its a different kind of beach vacation. My relaxing doesnt start til 830pm after the babies go to bed! :) hehe, but its all worth it and I am not complaining one bit!We stayed in and cooked every night accept one night we went out and got seafood and the babies slept the entire time!!! Our nights consisted of shhh the boys, playing charades, cards, talking, relaxing, the boys playing tricks on each other,(yes pranks like they were 12)! all while we were makign sure we were quiet enough that we did not wake the 4 sleeping babies!!

I would say it was a successful beach vacay with two 5.5 month olds! I was very happy that we went!!! On the way back the babies did great! We left at bedtime adn they slpet the entire way home!! Although upon returning home we had two sick little babies that are sitll recovering. Keagan and Kylie got sick also. Everyone came home and went to the doctor! SHows how easy germs do spread. Girls had double ear infections adna  viral infection and horrid high fevers. Keagan had a viral infection and Kylie had coup. NO fun! Girls noses are still a lil runny and they are still congested but are acting like they feel alot better.
