To the BEACH!!

So after we spent lunch at the beach and ventured high in the sky over the Grand Strand in the Sky Wheel we headed to get a quick mani & pedi...this was mostly for Mommy & Ms. Page's benefit...but Ruth Ann got to join in too...



And to make this even better they didn't charge me for Ruth Ann...which was great since kid's don't keep their polish on for very long!

Then Ruth Ann & Ms. Page patiently waited for me to make my way through the outlets...Tripp ended up being the big winner with a few swim suits for our Disney vacation in November and a new swim suit for next summer too.

Since most of the day was gone by now we decided to eat dinner and then let Ruth Ann do a little playing on the beach afterwards. Ms. Page was nice enough to have a few toys waiting on her when she got there...



She played and played....



And dug and dug....



And then played while she dug....



And then in typical Ruth Ann fashion bossed everyone around in order to get all her bidding done....



At this point she had gone ALL day long without a nap and was running on fumes. We headed home for baths and bed time. She was so excited about getting back to the beach the next morning that she tried to get up at 6am...I wasn't going to let that happen...I knew we had another long day in store. Eventually she went back to sleep and slept until 9:30am...she obviously needed it and once more, Mommy knows best!
