Emmie has been walking around for weeks carrying her shovel and saying she needs to go to the beach so Tuesday we went to the beach. Papa took the day off work and came too! Debbie Baker (who's friends with the Edwards) has an oceanfront house at Folly and she was so kind to let us use it for the day! It was soooo nice to have a place to put all the stuff you bring when you go anywhere with two small children and it have a good place to take Emmie to the potty (she can sometimes get funny about going in public bathrooms). It was also nice to have somewhere to eat lunch and we were able to wash the girls up before we left to go back to Summerville. When we took her up on the offer we didn't realize just how big of a difference it would make having the house! We stayed out at the water for about 2 hours and then ate lunch and enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean from the house. Ellie enjoyed the beach although she was a little cold in just her bathing suit. She got a little upset that we wouldn't let her eat sand but she loved splashing in the water of the little pool we dug for her! Emmie had the BEST time at the beach. She didn't care how cold the water was (it wasn't horribly cold but definitely cool) she kept going back to play in it more. She loved digging in the sand. Poor thing cried a little when we told her we had to leave. We told her we'd come back again and she said "tomorrow?". She's definitely my child..loves the beach! (Plus the ocean air...aka non pollen filled air...was good for her HORRIBLE allergies...more on that tomorrow...we're a sickly crew.)
Sleeping on the way to the beach. I LOVE this picture! Also, I'd never noticed that Ellie has the same lip shape as Emmie...I think it's so beautiful.
Loving the water!
Happy to be at the beach.
Ellie had a great time playing in/eating the sand.
Tongue out like her sister!
Ellie's feet were playing peek-a-boo!
On Wednesday morning Gin-g and I took the girls to the Charleston Children's Museum. The girls had lots of fun and so did Gin-g and I!
Watching golf balls go round and round.
Captain Ellie!
Ellie LOVED the puppets!
Wednesday night I went and met my friend Susan for dinner in Charleston. We at the bar at Husk and it was delicious. I had never heard of the restaurant but it has won some awards and nothing is allowed in the kitchen that isn't produced in the south. The menu changes everyday depending on what is at the market! I had an AMAZING bbq sandwich and Susan had some REALLY good wings...the glaze was perfect...and some fried bread and butter pickles. We also shared a cheese platter (of course I loved that!). I hadn't had a long conversation with Susan in around a year and it was so nice to catch up!
On a side note...one of the patients at work had painted my nails a pretty coral color over the weekend and so all week Emmie has been telling me how pretty my nails are so Paul's mom had some kiddie nail polish so Wednesday afternoon we painted Emmie's nails. They turned out so cute and she LOVED them! I don't know what brand the polish is but it comes off in the bath. A bit annoying because it meant we had to paint them again the next day but VERY nice because I know that if it gets on anything (very likely since it's hard to convince a toddler to hold still for her nails to dry) it will come off easily!
We had so much fun in Summerville and we enjoyed all our adventures and we also had some sweet visitors...Gerry and Rita Purvis and Joy Patterson all stopped by to see the girls!
