Beach and Aquarium...what fun!!

This past weekend, we decided to get away for a little family vacay and went Havelock first, to stay the night Saturday, and then got up and went to Morehead City to go to the beach. Gabby absolutely loved the beach. Cavan and I had to wait in the car while he ate, and Clay took Gabby on down to play. He said they built sand castles and then she decided to be brave and went into the water. You can see her standing out in the water and then sitting in it. She has become quite brave since her last visit, where she ran from the waves half of the time. She is so funny! Zaidy did a lot better too. She actually let the waves hit her and didn't try to run too much.

We lasted about a hour and a half at the beach before they put the red flag up. Such a bummer, and you could see the waves getting worse and worse. Gabby did not want to leave, but we told her we were going to the Aquarium and she was okay. We're in the car eating before going into the Aquarium and Gabby of course, was into everything.

We were attempting to get her to make that crazy face she made the last time we were there, but of course, as you can tell, she was not feeling it. =0)

So...in this last collage, I'm trying to take a picture with Gabby. Well, she was fine with the first one, but as you can tell in the bottom right picture, she is telling me to leave so she can take a picture by herself. The two by herself, show her real enthusiasm about being in the big shark mouth. Such a silly kid!

It was weird trying to pack for our last minute trip. It took forever and I left a ton of stuff behind that we needed. We've decided that with two kids now, there will be no more last minute trips. Ha ha! Well, at least for now! =0)
