Trip to Surfside Beach to visit the Knight family

So we get to the beach after a nice long car ride (where Mom was hyped up on Dr. Pepper to make it through) and decide to go on a "walk" on the beach. It took the kids about 2.5 minutes to "fall" in the water and end up soaking wet from head to toe. Elias LOVES the water and couldn't get enough of it. We ended up walking a little and of course the 3 boys found a hole and as the rule states: See hole, jump in hole. Bella hung back, not sure of the water. She's scared of a lot of things these days (except her own opinion) so I wasn't too surprised. Michael and Elias (who are both 4) got along fabulously and didn't want to leave each other. Bella and Alex (who are both around 2) tolerated each other :-) Hopefully once they get past this age, they'll become friends too. Niccole and I enjoyed each others' company- though brief it was. We still do look alike I think, as people always said. The trip ended with "the kiss", just as the last time we were altogether. Bella feigned disinterest. :-)
