Sunday was Father's Day. We rented a seashell by the seashore...lol... but our day didn't start out so grand. I had planned on packing up our stuff the night before, but uhm I got busy doing something else 
and since the kids have been waking up at around 7 I thought well I'll do it in the morning...well for some strange reason they decided to sleep past 8am. This threw a wrench in our plans....so we get the kids dressed and haphazardly pack stuff for the beach. We get into town and quickly realize why we usually get up early for "special" day breakfasts. Cracker Barrel had people lined up outside, so we drove to IHOP. The wait was about 20 minutes. So we stuck around. We finally got a table with a rude and incompetent waitress. So at breakfast DH and I are talking about stuff we should have put in the car and we realized we forgot some things at the house. Instead of making the trek back we just went to KMART and bought a blanket and some chairs.

So we get to the beach and suprisingly it isn't very full at all.
Andrew wanted to stay in the water the whole time...Isabel wanted nothing to do with the waves...she instead preferred to dine on fine North Carolina Sand.
I have some pics posted here
Once we were tired of being beachy we went to the exchange to get some ice cream ( my only way of stopping Andrew from crying when we told him we had to leave) We ended up buying a new couch and rug. They will be delivered soon. Lucky for us the exchange on base has a deal with the CDC that for every 50 you spend at the exchange you get a coupon for 1 free night of childcare on a Sat at the CDC. They let us use the purchase of the couch/loveseat and so we now have 13 free nights of childcare (we have to use 2 coupons since we have 2 kids...lol...
