tybee beaching.

If you haven't noticed yet we've been treating our summer like a ginormous vacation. Yeah Todd goes to work every day but he gets to come home early on Fridays and from there we have all weekend to get familiar with our temporary stomping grounds.

This weekend the sun was out and a blazin' so we opted to visit the beach! We're about thirty minutes from the vast Atlantic so it's pretty easy to pack a lunch, load up the car, and head out to the water. Hauling all of our chairs, food, shade, etc. to and from the water is a pain but it's absolutely worth it.

And of course I took a ton of pictures of our morning. Here are a few of the gems I'd like to not get lost in the depths of my phone's gallery.

We got there around 10am so the sun had only been up for about four hours. Ha where are my mountains?? But really, despite the terrible back-lighting for pictures ;), we'll be going even earlier next time. You get a good spot, the sand isn't on fire yet (you think I'm kidding), and you avoid all of the college kids! Perfect!

Todd grew up swimming in the Pacific. I grew up swimming in lakes. I think we'd agree that the Atlantic feels much nicer than both.

Oh this sweet boy. He seriously loves watermelon SO much. It's unreal.

He dropped his second slice in the sand so we threw it away. His little heart couldn't handle it. Don't worry, we had more. 

Hahaha. Just... hahaha.

Do you think Carter's or maybe OshKosh B'gosh are looking for a new brand rep??

I love that he recognizes when I'm taking pictures. He's started cheesing and it's one of my favorite little toddler stages. (: (: (:

p.s. where do you buy sturdy sand castle toys? 'cause the ten buck kit from Wal-Mart isn't cuttin' it. Which I should have known haha.

Merman and Merboy!

Oh my heart. I'm really glad I like my own kids. They're pretty darn cute. *as I suppress my memories of church today with a grumpy 14-month old*

And this...

... this is a face to end a blog post on. I mean look at that smile. Haha I'm telling you... my boys are going places. #laughtillyoucryemoji

Really though we had a lovely morning and this summer has been a blast so far. I've definitely struggled adjusting with all of this free time post-MBASA. We're doing our best though to not get too bored yet still get our relaxing in before Todd's program starts up. It's a fine line when you thrive on being busy like I do (I know, I'm working on it) but we're doing good. Real good. Peachy even. #thesummerofgeorgia
