Meanwhile back at home...

Mimi and Pop so generously entertained the girls while we were away for the weekend! And they were so sweet to send us pictures and updates of their fun :) It really put my heart at ease being away from them!

 We brought a little of the beach back for them. We were all amazed at the soft white sand!

These beach sensory tubs have been a huge hit as the girls explore and examine different types of shells and a starfish.

 They love listening to the ocean in their shells, and we have promised to take them with us next time!

 And yes, it will feel like the beach in our kitchen floor for a few days...minus the salt spray :)
