Beach Day

It's pretty sad how little we've been to the beach since moving to to NH. Every year we say we're going to go more but it hasn't happened. This year we will make it happen!! 

A few weeks ago we pack up our kids and add two extra boys and headed to Ordiorne Point State Park. We met friend who have two children the same age as George and Edith. So total we had 6 kids and 4 adults...5 of those children being 3 and under.

The kids had a blast playing in the freezing water, building castles, poking crabs, and eating sand.

A Week of Vacation and A Very Sick Baby

So Nathan has a week of vacation in March and went spent most the time around the house.

George and I went on a little date to one of your favorite coffee/tea shops. It's so fun hanging out with him by himself. He has so much to say and usually I hear about half since I'm focusing on him and Edith.

Edith got to have extra snuggle time with daddy.

St. Patty's fell during vacation week so I made green biscuits for breakfast.

We did a little walking around UNH one day since they were on spring break. It was a bit warmer...like 34.

Towards the end of the week we headed to Wells, Maine for a few nights. We stayed in a condo with a full kitchen and they had an indoor pool. Both of those were the main reasons for choosing the spot. George loved the pool and the hot tub!! 

We had lunch at a local restaurant but by this time the kids were starting to feel sick so it wasn't much fun.

Our second night at the beach I finally took Edith to the urgent care. She ended up having pneumonia! At this point we had been up a couple nights in a row with her so we were super tired. The medicine started to kick in so she slept most of the night but then George started getting sick.

So both nights we were up and Edith didn't get to swim at all and we didn't get any chilly walks on the beach. It was pretty miserable. 

On the positive side Congdon's donuts are pretty amazing so we got a box before packing up and heading home. 

One day we'll go back when the kids are well and it's warm. 

George Goes To The Beach

 Last Sunday we took a quick trip to Ogunquit, Maine. I knew I wanted to go back before I even got out of the car. It was beautiful. It was George's first trip to the beach and he got to eat some sand and dip his toes in.

Beach Day

Last Friday Nathan and I and my brother headed down to the beach for the day. Tybee Island is the closest beach; only an hour away. It's definitely not the nicest beach but when you're in need of a quick beach fix it will do. It was quite windy which didn't make it too hot until about mid afternoon.
It was nice to get out of town for the day. Due to limited funds we don't have the opportunity to get out much so this was a nice break from being cooped up around Statesboro.
