Ocean City

June 11th-14th.
We rented a condo in Ocean City, MD with our good friends Eric and Hilary, their little girl Sierra, and Ryan and Alyssa. We had a really good time and just love these guys! Late nights, laughing, blizzards, girl talk while the guys did some grocery shopping, relaxing on the beach, and senior week pretty much sums up our vacation! Although we could have done without all the high school senior grads walking around liked they owned the place. Victoria still talks about the beach, board walk, and playing with Sierra!

Victoria would either LOVE or hate the water and waves...depending on the day and if it was nap time. She took a few spills too.
The water was freezing cold by the way.

Victoria and Sierra playing with the sand toys.
 
All of us girls...Pregnant! Alyssa (pregnant with twins, due sept. 1), Hilary (12 weeks prego, due Christmas Eve), and myself (due Aug. 18).
Victoria and Sierra were SO cute playing together and causing trouble. They would hide in this pantry together. Behind the closed door we heard a lot of cute giggles!
Digging for sand crabs. When our whole group was out there in the water we dug for some sand crabs...or I dug for them. Even the husbands were a little nervous to touch them. Growing up close to a beach I would collect these little crabs all the time as a kid. A few times I would find them in my bathing suit when I got home.
Beach Bums. I could have stayed out on the beach all day. It felt so good to be out there with good friends and our little family. Brought back memories of spending long days on the beach at home eating sandy ding-dongs and homemade sandwiches. 

Daddy boy.

It was so cute to watch Victoria and her Daddy play in the water and build sand castles. Shawn asked me if he was doing it right because he said he had never built a sand castle before ha ha.

We bought the girls "Best Friends" necklaces to remember their OC trip.


Sierra's says "Best" and Victoria's says "Friends".

How fun!!!! What a fun thing to get to do with a bunch of friends. And Krystal can I just say that you are so beautiful!!! Kara and I were talking about it the other day, you are just so naturally pretty, you could roll out of bed with no makeup on and still be gorgeous! I love the pictures of Sierra and Victoria together... they are such cute little best friends!
