We took our annual beach trip to Avon, NC in September. The drive was a chore, but totally worth the week of relaxing. Luckily, Audrey was able to ride down with my rents and that left us with only one child to wrangle. (We won't discuss the ride back in ONE vehicle, with two children, four adults, and all of our luggage. PAINFUL!) We spent the week relaxing and playing on the beach and ended the day with a dip in our private HEATED pool. Yeah, we were spoiled...
It was Sarah Kate's first experience on the beach. She had just started crawling a few weeks ago, and I wondered how she would react to the sand. She was okay with her toes in the sand....
but crawling, not so much..... (Is it wrong that I took pictures of this?)
still crying...
We finally bought a special towel for the little diva. She would crawl to the edge and stop before her hands touched the sand. 
The sand doesn't phase Audrey. In fact, she would roll down the beach and cover herself in it.. (How sweet is that smile?)
Audrey flew a kite on the beach one windy day.
Matching suits for the sisters!
The blow up pool was a hit for both girls.
By the end of the week, Sarah Kate finally allowed the sand to touch her body without a melt down.
Our trip wouldn't have been complete without a trip to the ice cream truck. Pop SPRINTED down three flights of stairs to take Audrey to get her first ice cream from a truck. She loved it!
