At first Mommy said it sounded scary! Daddy wasn't going to be able to take two beach weeks, and so if we went, we were going to have to be girls only!
But then Mommy reconsidered. Who says no the beach?
Not us!
So, we borrowed this handy dandy baby tent, which turned out to be the best thing for all of us. In the tent, the baby could sleep, and in the tent, Mommy could feed the baby without embarrassing anyone!
And best of all, although you couldn't really see into the tent, Mommy could see out just fine, so everyone was safe and happy and accounted for.
We Y the baby tent.
Sometimes, Mommy would try to sneak out of the baby tent and play with us in the sand. Baby Jessa did not like this, and so Mommy had to make her trips out to play very short and sweet!
Here's baby J saying "Get back here this instant!"
Oh, we had so much fun in the sand and in the surf!
On Wednesday, Marina and I made Mommy an early birthday cake!
It turned out perfectly!
Mommy took us to the aquarium a couple of times. The first time we went with some school friends, and then on Thursday we went through really carefully to make sure we didn't miss anything.
Here are our pictures from Thursday (which also happened to be Mommy's birthday!)...
Look out below!
I'm feelin' crabby! 
When we weren't playing in the ocean or swimming in the pool, we were doing crafts. Mommy stocked up at the craft store before we left so we would always have something to keep ourselves busy - and out of trouble. We made so MANY crafts!
And so is Mina!
Oh, baby J, your head is too small!
We also spent lots and lots of time every day swimming in the baby pools! Baby Jessa swam a little too. She sat right in her Snugli carrier and dipped along with Mommy!
Back home after a dip!

And while we were in Atlantic Beach, no amenity was safe! We ate lunch on the picnic benches, we swam in all the pools, we played on the playgrounds and swung on every swing!
On Thursday afternoon, Daddy decided he'd had enough of work! He came down just in time to help us celebrate Mommy's birthday!
Now that you've seen me dance, you'll be amazed to see that I'm also quite the picture taker!
I do like to run around though, so I leave most of the picture taken' to my dad!
And the occasional stranger.
And with Daddy with us at the beach, I got to go into the ocean and swimming in the big girl pools!
Mina was scared of the deep water, but she finally went out into the waves on Saturday, our last day there:
On Friday we explored Fort Macon State Park and danced to the music they had playing there. Check out my moves! As you'll see, Mina isn't quite ready for the big time.
Dancing,
And Exploring...

Mommy brought down our snow cone maker for sweet treats after dinner!
Here's a few more pictures of us swimming, this time with our floaties!
And one of Mommy loving the baby.
Finally, we've reached our July '09 beach photo shoot. We do this every year to make our mommy happy.

Every year, on our last evening at the beach, we dress up alike and stand around smiling while Daddy and Mommy take pictures.
The things our parents put us through...
This year was way more successful then last year, and that made Mommy so happy that
when we got done, we got snow cones and birthday cake!
Snowcones!
And finally, a Quinlan-Mason gets a tan (despite SPF 70)
