We love the sand and the sun, so as soon as my husband suggested last minute that we go south for a week, I was totally on board.  We honestly didn’t think we would be able to take a family vacation anytime soon, since Sayla’s spinal surgery was scheduled for early summer.  When we found out her surgery was cancelled, I was very upset about it, so I think Patrick knew I needed some beach in my life.  It was the perfect way to end the quarantine!

Hey yall!  We have enjoyed our beach trip so much this past week!  The weather and water were perfect every single day.  We went with my husband’s family, and stayed in the most adorable hippie beach house.  Pax went to the beach several times last year, but he was just an infant.  This is the first time he has been as a toddler, and could actually be in the sun, and play in the sand.  He loved everything about it.  He played for hours with his bucket of water and beach toys.  We enjoyed watching him try to figure out the sandcastles his daddy and uncle built, and then he would slowly knock them down.  He loved having my husband take him out into the ocean and he would say, “oohhhhh!” I’m so thankful we had beach wear to keep him safe in the sun.  I wanted to share a few of his beach-wear outfit details from i play., Inc.

I love iplaybaby’s new Breathable Swim and Sun Flap Hat!  It is UPF 50+, and protects head, neck, and eyes while playing.  The water friendly foam brim is perfect for Pax, since it stays out of his eyes when wet.  Pax kept his hat on the entire time, but there is a tie strap to keep the hat in place if need be.  His Long Sleeve Rashguard is also UPF 50+ and made of stretchy quick dry material.  It is so soft with flat seams for comfort while he plays.  The rashguard matched his adorable turtle print Pocket Trunks With Built-In Reusable Absorbent Swim Diaper.  There is no need to wear an additional swim diaper with these trunks, which is a mom win with less to pack!

As much as we have enjoyed vacation, we are happy to be home now.  This week will be full of unpacking, and vacation laundry.  We have our Sayla back, and I plan on enjoying lots of snuggles with both my babies! Being able to stay at home with them makes me so happy, and I am very grateful for this job of mine.
