Sand, Surf, And Multiples: Hitting the Beach For The First Time With Twins!

Yesterday, me and the hubby decided to hit the beach, with the super nice weather we had. Just like it always was, I suppose, but with 2 more in tow,  of course. Two very tiny passengers, that were quite fussy during the trip. I never had newborns at this part of the year, meaning when the nice days haven’t been super abundant yet, so I gotto get my butt out the door every chance I get, and the 1st really nice days, there is no way around it, we gotto hit the beach, plus, after memorial day, you gotto pay right, so why not go a few days before? That’s my logic anyhow.

 

Of course the girls didn’t have suits, so I made hubby stop at Babies R Us, along the way. I always have those 205 off coupon booklets, because I am ALWAYS shopping there. I saw two 3-6 mo suits, and grabbed them fast, so we could head off. I was surprised to see on my receipt, that the total was so cheap, and then I saw ‘Buy one get one free’, so that was something I didn’t expect, but how cool right? Twin babies, so this was perfect, so if you see this before memorial day, hit the store ladies. What a deal. 2 for $12.99, then with my coupon, it was only like $974 plus tax, for two swimsuits. I couldn’t believe it.

 

I will admit, I’m going to find my way there again today, to pick up two more, because I have another coupon, and even without, that deal still rocks!!  Here are a few pics of today’s venture below. I remember the days of spending countless hours at the beach, like  6 hrs, I just enjoyed it so much, it was sooo peaceful, but now. 2.5 hrs. and that seemed like a lot, ha ha, and we were packed up.   I’m sure it’ll get easier with time, but there isn’t much for a newborn to do there, and my 4 yr. old, just would not let me sit and relax at all.  Do I miss the days of going to the beach alone, and sunning quietly, listening to the waves crash against the shore? Maybe I do alittle. Would I trade it for what I have now? No, I surely wouldn’t.

 

Anyhow, the water was surprisingly warm, and so I dipped the girls feet in the water. Both didn’t cry at all, they seemed to not mind it, maybe even enjoy it. I know Mikayla screamed her head off, and the boys well, they weren’t born that time of year, so it wasn’t the same. I may have water babies on my hands here.

 

We had to pack something for the girls to lie on, so I had the umbrella, the sheets, towels, and camera, along with two full sized bouncers, and a gigantic diaper bag filled to the rim, the only difference to how it once was:)  More, and more stuff, the more and more kids you have.

 

What beautiful weather. Enjoy it, and happy almost memorial day. Let the weekend start NOW:)

PS- Oh, smiles are coming more frequently now, and Allie has caught up and is now coo-ing to. Is anything more precious?
