no dads atlantic beach trip. days two and three.

after selecting all the pics for this post, it appears we didn’t go to the beach at all for days two and three. strange. anyhooo… here’s what we DID do. we started off with a slow morning, because hazel learned that she can climb out of her pack and play and we got a very […]
