We are finally at the beach!! We are having a terrific time and enjoying the gorgeous weather!! It is probably in the low 80's and beautiful sunshine! We left the house yesterday around 10 - the girls were so excited! We only stopped once to eat lunch - Bojangles. All 3 of them took a nap, so when we arrived around 2, they were ready to go. I checked in and then we got them out to show them the ocean. We didn't tell them that we were there yet, so when they got to the top of the steps leading to the beach - their little faces were glowing - that was so great to see!! We got to our room and quickly smelled that it was a smoking room. I called down to the front desk to see if they could switch us and she said they were booked. So Matt unloaded the car and brought all the stuff to our room - we put everything in the right room, but still were not thrilled that it smelled funny in there. 
We got the kids ready to go to the beach and then we stopped at the front desk to complain. They switched us!! We went from the 9th floor to the 2nd. So we headed back up to the room and had to re load everything back on the cart and bring it to our new room. (It didn't take too long). THEN, we went to the beach!! THEY ALL LOVED IT! We played and played - the girls even had enough courage to go into the water!! (ankle deep of course - and Harper just goes with the flow and does everything!) We took the kids in to take a bath and Carly was upset because she wanted to get in her pjs. Then we went to Johnny Rockets for dinner and did a little browsing at Barefoot landing. This morning we woke up (Harper slept in till 8:30 ish) and went down to breakfast - worked out for us because kids 3 and under are free!! We had to hit up a Wings for a beach bag (that's the one thing I forgot Mom - oh and sunblock too!!) We played all morning at the beach and the pool and now the kids are all sleeping!! It feels weird to go to the beach and not have to plan other things to do - they are just happy on the beach and we are just relaxing!

The girls getting a thorough explanation about how the closet doors work - after, of course, Chloe's finger was pinched!
Injuries so far: Chloe's finger, Mommy's thumb (there was a small light thing on the check in desk and Chloe had her hand in the towel and took the glass cover off - it was hanging- so she gave it to me with no towel covering my hand, and sizzle!!!! - Yeah it hurt), Carly's foot, a couple of head bumps, and I think that is it - the boys are doing good so far - well Harper has eaten half of the beach!! - Yes I caught the boy licking his legs to get sand off!! - Oh wait - I forgot Harper plumeted into the hard sand - so hard his head bounced and gave him a nice goose egg on his forehead.
Here they are all enjoying a cookie I baked before we left. They were being so patient as we were switching rooms!!
Yes! Sitting in the ocean
The girls trying to go to bed - before dinner!
Hats they got at Johnny Rockets - Chloe said she needed to show Grandma - so here they are (they have since been broken!)
Barefoot Landing
Sunrise this morning - Carly made sure we were up at 6:45 so we wouldn't miss it!
Playing hard!
