In my defense, the summer flew by fairly uneventful. Our last big hoorah of the summer was a trip to the beach. We had plans to go to the OBX of North Carolina, but Hurricane Irene had a different plan for us. Our flights were cancelled and refunded, so we packed up the truck and took a road trip to Destin FL.
Our first road trip with Hailey went fairly well...I'm not sure who was worse in the car, me or her. All things considered, she did pretty well, and I was impressed by how easily I was able to keep her entertained for the 12 hours to and from. I think Josh was secretly happy to be in the driver's seat with me named Hailey's servant for the trip. Let's just say Mama needed some wine when we arrived....and when we got home.
We met Net and G, Uncle Roy, Aunt B and Lucas at the house (that we managed to find one day before our arrival....thank goodness!!) The house had a private pool and was only a short walk to the beach, three stories with plenty of room for the babies to run.
On our first morning, Josh and I took Hailey on a walk down to the beach, where I thankfully had my camera. Who would have guessed that our little dare devil would HATE the sand?? See....
Hailey hates the beach August 2011
She really hated it....I've been told that she is definitely my child. Apparently, I didn't like dirt and sand much as a kid either....who, me?? Ha! Ha!!
Once we tormented her to get some cute pictures, we tried daily to get her in the sand, but we left Destin with a child who never learned to like it. Thankfully....we had the pool, and many other fun things to do!
Little fishie in the pool...her favorite place!
