Hanging out with Grammy & Grampy

Saturday afternoon the girls and I packed up the car and headed to Westport to spend two nights with Grammy and Grampy.  Despite not napping before we left or sleeping much in the car, the girls were in great moods when we arrived.  I am sure they remembered being here two weeks ago because it didn’t take them any time to warm up and start running wild.  They loved looking for the cat, and playing with all the cat’s toys.  Today we took early naps and then headed out on Grampy’s boat for lunch.  The girls didn’t even fight their life jackets and had a great time rocking in the waves.  After a cruise on the boat we stopped by Elephant Rock Beach Club to play in the sand.  The beaches were still closed to swimming because of Hurricane Bill.  Even today, the waves were pretty big compared to when we were here two weeks ago.  It was still fun to run around and be in the sun.

Madi was very comfortable moving around on the boat, it was like she had been on a boat all her two years of life.

You can kind of see the bigger waves in the background.  The girls didn’t care about the water, they just wanted to play in the sand.

Before we left for Westport on Saturday we hit Duxbury Beach with the intentions of wearing the girls out so they would take a long nap before we headed south.  It didn’t work but I got some great shots of the girls to make up for it. Madi and Emma have been getting along great.  They really enjoy playing together and sharing things.  Madi makes most of the decisions and Emma follows without a fight even when Madi is trading popsicles to get the better color, or trading an empty juice cup for Emma’s full one.  They have been very sweet with the hugs and kisses too.  They will hit each other on purpose so that they can then turn around and give hugs.  It is all very precious.
