EnchantingHintonHappenings: Ocean Shores beach trip

A few weekends ago we had the opportunity to go to Ocean Shores with Brian's parents and his brother and his family. We all stayed in a friend of the families lovely beach house and when I say beach house I mean right on the beach, gorgeous views throughout the day. We had a fabulous time and made many memories to cherish. We took our girls out to a family lunch, then to the Fun Center and they got to do all the little rides and we even rode on the bumper cars together. After lunch we combed the beach (a favorite for our girls) and ended the outing with some ice cream. Papa Dennis took all the grown-up kids and Ashlyn back to the fun center to ride on the go-carts. So much fun, Ashlyn got to ride once with Mom on the race track and once with Dada on the wet track. We all stopped for some more ice cream! A first for Brian and I was finding whole sand dollars on the beach. This is something that we have both looked for throughout our lives but just never came across one. We ended up bringing home around 15 perfectly whole sand dollars! :) (I have them all cleaned up and just waiting to be used in some sort of summery beachy decorating) In the midst of all the beach fun we were able to get in our daily INSANITY workouts and eat pretty clean, thanks to planning and packing on my part. We are looking forward to the other beach trips that we have planned throughout the summer!
