this past monday we (sarah and i) decided to take the girls over to the beach at solomons. we parked far away from the beach so we would be forced to hike down to the water. it's better than no exercise! as we walked down there were all sorts of signs that said "no swimming without a lifeguard on duty," so we weren't sure how long we'd be able to stay or if we'd get kicked out, but we decided to try our luck since really the girls were just wading.
as soon as we got there, the girls ran down to the water. i just happened to go down with them, which happened to be very lucky because this is what i saw immediately coming towards them.
yeah, that's a disgusting black water snake. the girls didn't seem bothered by it at all, but it sure skeeved the moms out. we kept our eye on it the whole time, and pretty much the whole time he stayed visible to us. icky.
despite some sand throwing and water pouring on heads, the girls play together really well. and they love the water!
this one does not. but she did play in the sand happily, eat some, and get up and walk around a little bit before coming right back to her spot and sitting.
i forgot my camera, so sarah took all of these, isn't she awesome?!
sweet abby. :) i usually have to stop and think for a minute about which 2-year-old i'm talking to, abby, or addie... they get called the wrong name a lot.
we stayed at the beach for a long time and then moseyed across the street to the playground. and then we looked at the time and it was already 2:00! so we gave the girls 5 minutes and packed up.
it was too late for me though, my back got fried!
lesson learned for next weeks beach trip, lesson learned. :)

Abby even has a hard time keeping her name straight! She called herself Addie today and then corrected herself, "I'm not Addie, I'm Abby!" :)
