Seabrook Day 2

We're starting to settle into our little vacation routine. Wake up, make breakfast, eat out on the screened in porch in the humidity (the only table that will accommodate the babies' seats), play for a bit and hit the pool. Yes, technically we are on a "beach" vacation but the beach seems a little intimidating for two adults and two one year olds. Aunt Bo arrived tonight and so we are thinking of trying it tomorrow. Holden is walking more and more each day and it is sooo funny. I need to capture it for instagram.

Here are a few randoms throughout the day

we stayed at the pool until 1 today. the twins fell asleep in the stroller on the walk home. it was a hot one so we totally did the redneck baby diaper only thing. at least they were monogrammed. 

we enjoyed yummy sangria at the beach club and beautiful skies

this stuff is amazing. when we lived in jacksonville, we would get peterbrooke chocolate for a special treat. my dad went for business last week and brought us home some goodies. my favorite has always been the chocolate covered popcorn but these pretzel bites are yum.

the start to making my green tea vodka drink!

fun fact: this is the only tea grown in the us and its grown in Charleston.

the ingredients


we spent the entire morning at the pool and the twins were great eaters in their lounge chairs. A sweet little girl shared her cups with us and Emma Cate would not stop drinking the pool water out of them. you win some you lose some. at least it was salt water instead of chlorine... Holden loved walking up and down the pool until he was in deep over his head. he would then scream for us to help him. we also did a fair amount of baby chasing along the pool deck. speed crawlers.






The house we are staying in has a skylight and the babies are obsessed with it. they loved laying with gigi and looking at the sky.


baby legs. couldn't resist. 

after dinner we cut through the golf course and made our way to the pool for a pre bedtime swim. the grounds are so gorgeous here. 

we decided to bring the floats with us and they were a HUGE hit. The pool is zero entry and the babies would run from the shallow into the deeper part with their floats on.
 


happy boy loved splashing and zooming around the pool in his float

sassy LOVED when gigi tossed her in the air. this girl is fearless.

Aunt Bo went to the pool with us and took some great pictures! 




she is still crawling like this whenever she doesn't want to hurt her knees! we call her mowgli after the character from the jungle book.


the babies are loving watching seagulls. Emma Cate was totally in awe when the birds flew close to us while packing up to leave.


love.

We headed down to the beach for s'mores. The resort had the s'mores all set up and a nice fire going. it was sweet to see all the kiddos roasting marshmallows. Aunt Bo took these awesome pics of the kids while mom and I enjoyed some s'mores.









We are still having the BEST time and are so thankful to spend these days with family :)
