My mom's (Grandma or Nan?) birthday is May 29, which means it often falls during Memorial Day weekend. This year my parents rented a beach house from Memorial Day weekend to the last weekend in June as a test run for a possible purchase. Quincy, Clara and I headed down Friday morning and due to a fortunate set of circumstances, I was able to stay until the following Friday with only taking two days of vacation. Quincy headed back on Memorial Day.
I'm not really sure where the week went, but it was very relaxing. The weather was absolutely beautiful. Here's Clara, enjoying the beach much more than she did a month prior:
Playing with toys:
Relaxing with her daddy:
Hands down the best part of the beach house is the covered, screened-in porch. We set up Clara's play pool and she spent a lot of time in that thing:
Really, a lot of time:
We tried different methods of beach-walking with a baby who can't yet walk. The stroller was easiest for us:
But Clara preferred the backpack carrier:
The beach at Topsail has recently been replenished, resulting in tide pools all down the island at low tide. All of the kids on the beach had a big time catching minnows and playing in the tide pools, Clara was no exception.

| Can't look at you Mom, too much work to do keeping Ernie and Elmo in line! |

| I swear it's in here somewhere! |
We spent most of the week in bathing suits (and don't worry, lots of sunscreen), but I did get Clara dressed a few times:

| Reeeally Ready for Bed! |

| Watching the world go by! |
My cousin John and Uncle Frank are flying in this weekend and we're going back down to the beach. We are really looking forward to it!
