The biggest hit of the trip was the inflatable wading pool. The boys took most of their baths there and spent at least a good hour in the pool each day we were there. It was great because we could set it up in the shade and all gather round it as the boys played. Their favorite thing was drinking the water from the holes in their bath cups as we dripped it in front of them.
The beach tent was also a hit for the afternoon we spent there. The boys did NOT enjoy the feel of sand on their feet or in their mouths or eyes (I'm looking at you, Theo), but they did like banging shells against each other (until they broke and shattered, creating a safety hazard). The water in the ocean, while unseasonably warm (76 degrees) was still too cold for the boys to enjoy.
My favorite memory from the trip is the walks I took with the boys almost every morning, sometimes by myself and sometimes with Grandma Joanie. We actually caught the sunrise a couple of times, which is truly special. I've really gotten the hang of getting both boys hooked into our two Ergobaby carriers, one on the front and one on the back. Theo's a little better on the back than Beckett, because Beckett tends to hang his head back as far as possible (he loves inversion, the little yogi) which then makes me worry that I'm snapping his neck with every step. Theo's better about keeping his head upright while riding in back.
