Having days off in the summer is seriously the best! We are such a beach family that if I was a teacher, or better yet, a stay at home mom, my a$$ would be driving down there at least 3 times/weekday with the girls. This year is even better cause they're both at such a good age to enjoy the water and playing in the sand. I had off this past Monday and decided that I'd venture on down to our beloved Asbury Park. Ry thought I was nuts to do it alone, but I was fully confident that the girls would be great. Boy was I right! We had so much fun, I can't wait till the next Bea girls day beach trip!
After getting the girls all sun screened up, piling everything onto the stroller (I knew this was the only way I'd be able to tug everything along) we hit up the bathrooms and started our day!
The second Mya stepped foot onto the boardwalk and saw the spray park open, she begged to go in. Of course honey, this would be super easy, and mommy can just sit on the chair for a bit while the girls ran around. Well, Mya ran around a TON! Didn't stop actually.
Ash just hung by me, wasn't feeling the water.
Even watching sissy get all splashed on.
Running to the teacup that dumps TONS of water down.
Nope, she's still fine just watching.
Mya, smile. This is what I get, lol!
A little video of Mya being a looney at the spray park!
Time to hit up the beach. I got it all set up and Ash took a seat.
While Mya built a sand castle. I just couldn't love these girls more.
Mya kept begging me for french fries. We never buy any food there, we always pack a lunch. But it was a special day with my girls so I figured, why not? After playing in the water and sand for a bit, we strolled up to the boardwalk and I got them fries and a lemonade. I was sweating by the time we got back to the sand. From holding the fries and lemonade and I picked up Ash too cause that kid gets side tracked by an ant and it'd have taken us all day to get back down to the beach.
Back on the beach with their fries and lemonade.
Mya asked me to write Ashley's name in the sand. Mya started to write it under where I wrote it.
There was an awesome sand bar, we LOVE sand bars! I mean really, who doesn't? The girls were loving every second of it too. Ash was copying everything Mya was doing. They were jumping over waves, splashing each other and just running back and forth for such a long time.
LOL!
A little video
Mya splashing Ash...
...and Ash giving it right on back!
Trying to get a pic of the 2 of them. Mya likes to take charge and hold onto her sissy, Ash HATES that. She was saying NO MY-AAA!
Much happier out of the bear hug.
Ashley's view.
Playing in the little pool of water from the sand bar.
My little ging.
She smiled with me, YAY!
But wouldn't smile for a Bea girls group shot, can't win em all I guess.
I seriously couldn't feel more blessed. I love these girls so much and having those few days off with them really was so much fun. It does kill me though when Mya asked me, Tuesday morning, "Mommy, when's your last day of work?" UGH! I cherish the times I spend with them and try to enjoy every second to the fullest. I wish I could be home with them everyday but am blessed enough to have my Aunt Mary watch them and for them to grow a close bond with her and the Olarra crew. Love you all too! Thanks! xoxo
