Folly Beach Trip

We had our 3rd annual Beach Trip with the Bennetts and Waldridges. Before the babies arrived in 2006, we had ventured to Willmington, NC and then the Outer Banks. This trip to Folly Beach, which is very close to Charleston, was a great "adventure" as we termed it while we were there. The word "vacation" doesn't seem quite right with 3 one year olds running around.
Every day was so much fun though. We got up early (wonder why?) and had great breakfasts. Then we would take the babies down to the beach and play for awhile before their naps. After lunch we would usually play around the house and then go out to the beach. Low tide was in the late afternoon every day, and it was wonderful for all the kids because little pools, or gullies, were left on the beach for them to splash around in. They were as warm as bath water and not too deep, although some of them could get deeper than you would think and we almost let our kids slip under a couple times.
The evenings were beautiful and the dinners were always the best. Every couple cooked a meal or two and it was so nice to have help in the kitchen and help with the kids as well. Every couple was also allowed a date sometime during the week while the others watched the baby. Ty and I went to a noodle house and a little artsy shop called POE afterwards. It was much needed.
We had such a fun time that all the moms were like "what are we going to do with the kids when we get home". Nothing beats a houseful of parents, babies, toys, and a beach on top of it.
