The Benmily Show Goes to the Beach!

My best-friend Katie and I decided to take Ben and Emily to the beach today. Obviously we hadn't thought it out before-hand;) Did you know that it requires an enormous amount of energy(and stuff!) to take two toddlers to the beach? Did you know it's near-impossible to push a double stroll on sand? Those were two things we didn't realize before setting out for Santa Cruz today. However, the trip was a huge success if you consider that they both had a wonderful time! I have exhausted my best-friend(and possible scared her off motherhood!), though=)

Here's Ben seeing the ocean for the first time!

He was suitably impressed and loved watching the swimmers.

He was fearless and ran right into the surf. It was so cold, though!

Emily wasn't a fan of the sand or surf, but loved people-watching.

We dipped her feet in and she was NOT pleased!

Even walking on the sand was a little to much nature for Miss Priss

At one point, she willingly climbed back into the stroller for the rest of the outing!

Every time she got sandy, she'd cry=)


Ben loves every minute. though, and can't wait to go back!

Looks like you guys had so much fun! Ben looks so cute looking at the water...I think he might have surfing in his future?? :)

Ah, the differences between boys and girls! So cute! Aubrey probably would've been all prissy just like Emily! That's awesome that you made all of the effort to do that though. It's all worth it in the end. =)
