A weekend at Seaside

Of course I did these backwards but I'm not going to fix it because Claire is sitting on my lap so my time is limited. Anyways, we went to Seaside this weekend with my Dad. We had so much fun, even though it is February and was cold for a lot of the time, we had a great time when it was sunny out. Here is a picture of Peter at the beach.

On Sunday morning we headed out to the beach to play in the sand, the girls had so much fun and loved digging in the sand and chasing all the seagulls.

V had to ride every pony in seaside.

Having a tea party in a toy store.

Claire playing in the arcade, little girls don't need quarters to have fun at the arcade. They both had a great time pretending to drive.

There was a carousel at the mall and we got there very early and so we rode several times. This picture was on Sunday when V had already gotten used to the ride, on Saturday she was less than enthusiastic about the whole thing and didn't stop crying till about midway through the ride, she got upset when it was time to get off though.

a beautiful sunny day at the beach :)

taking a morning walk on the beach. We were there really early and the sand was frozen. The beach was so quiet that morning it was so nice. The waves were on mute or something.

the frozen sand. Don't worry it warmed up really quickly. It was actually a really sunny weekend.

The girls in the bunk bed eating pizza and watching a movie before bed. We'll just ignore the fact that they stayed up till 11 that night....aren't they cute in their jammies?

V on the carousel for the first time, this was when she was first realizing she was having fun.

Claire on a sea horse. Claire loved riding the carousel, she just sat there and quietly said "weeeee" the whole time. so sweet.

we also went to the seaside aquarium, it is a small aquarium but the girls enjoyed feeding the seals and touching all the stuff in the touch tanks.

V on the boardwalk Saturday morning.

V riding her bike outside our cabin. she prefers to just be pushed but maybe soon she will pedal for us :)

Our camera is starting to go so some of our pictures don't turn out so we have taken a lot more videos. This first one is of the girls feeding the seals at the aquarium. Don't worry they don't always stay in that tiny tank. it was so much fun to feed them. They would clap their flippers and splash and bark. it was cool to be so close.

These next two are of the carousel and the bumper cars. Claire is too young to do bumpercars so just V went. Again she didn't realize she was having fun till midway through.

These two videos are of Claire barking out our cabin window....I don't think there was a dog. And another of her chasing a seagull on the beach.

this video is of Violet running in from playing in the waves. She had run out their with Gpa and realized the water was FREEZING! so she ran right in to give her Dad a hug.

We had so much fun on our weekend at the beach. It was nice to get away for a weekend.
