no dads atlantic beach trip. day one.

first. an apology.
i’m about to play a serious game of blog catchup.
we went to the beach a month ago. then we came home for a week and i attempted to blog, but had a hard time with the photos (iphoto vs. photos) on my brand new computer. so i scrapped it. then we went to ny for two weeks. so, in the next few days, i’m hoping to get myself all caught up.
sorry.

so, the day after school was out, i packed up the kids and headed to atlantic beach to hang with a group of other moms and kids and NO dads. this blog post is dedicated to our first day and a half. and disclaimer: i take a lot more pics of hazel, because she stays on the beach and i would rather not drop my phone in the ocean.

our first trip down the boardwalk.

hazel isn’t a big fan of the ocean. she stayed far away. the beach was very seaweedy on the afternoon of our arrival.

hazel got a little more courageous and walked closer to the ocean. until it came towards her and sent her running away crying.
