Sand and Surf

Last week the girls and I went to the beach with Nana and GrandBob. They had a great time! Meredith and Melissa are real waterbugs. They were in and out of the water the entire time. Amanda and Claire stuck to the dry land - drawing in the sand with feathers, chasing birds, and digging in the sand. Amanda is our big seafood eater - asking for shrimp at just about every meal!

SEP! We took a picture to send to Daddy, who had to go start his new job and didn't get to come to the beach with us.

One of their favorite things to do on the beach was play in a bucket of water.

Winding down at the end of the day, GrandBob reads a book.

While there, the triplets skipped their naps everyday (except Claire did nap one day - go Claire!). After failed attempts number 2, I tried to get them all to "rest". You can guess how that went...

Claire waves bye-bye to the birds.

Claire plays mommy and helps Amanda with her shoes.

Amanda announced, "I walk by myself since I'm a big girl." Then she stuck her thumb in her mouth.
