A Day at the Beach

Emerson has been begging to go to the beach ever since Shawn and I went to Florida, and we have never taken Braelyn to the beach.  This weekend was absolutely beautiful so we decided it was the perfect time.  I could have stayed there for hours just watching them run along the beach with the biggest smiles and lots of laughter.  After running on the beach for awhile we visited the new Pleasure Pier-it is awesome!!  It was great too because Em was big enough to ride quite a few things and unlike the rodeo, Braelyn got to ride some too!  We got Em an all day pass, Braelyn got in for free, and we got me a pass for the rides the girls had to be accompanied.  Why in the world would the parent who is not crazy about some of the rides get the pass and not the parent who LOVES roller coasters?!  We know better for next time!  ha ha  Get ready for a TON of pictures...I loved them all to much to pick!!  Believe it or not I actually left out a few!

 

Our sweet Braelyn, so excited to see the beach for the first time!

Ocean here I come!!  At least until the waves start coming toward me and then I'll turn and run the other way as fast as I can!

Daddy and his girls hunting for shells.

I love Shawn for so many reasons but a big one is for being such an amazing dad.

Hey, I found a shell!

 

Our beautiful Emerson...inside and out!

Check out those curls!  They got curlier the longer we were there!

For a girl who isn't crazy about stuff on her hands, she couldn't keep them out of the sand!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing them both this happy!

I love this pic of Braelyn just running, having the time of her life!

 

Wait for me Sissy!

Pleasure Pier, here we come!

We were so happy that we found rides for B too...

explain to me why she had to be accompanied on this one!!!  I really wasn't 100% I could get in, or out!!

 

 

Em was a little nervous getting on the Frog Hopper by herself.

But once it started...

she was all smiles, and maybe a few screams!

Braelyn and Mommy on the ferris wheel!

Em was there too!  I was less than thrilled when they stopped us at the very top and kept us there for awhile!

Me and Em coming off the log ride waving at Braelyn and Daddy.  Braelyn was crying so hard because me and Sissy got wet!

We finished the day with a little Mexican food...doesn't get much better!
