A Fun Brownsville Weekend

Last weekend Aunt A was nice enough to take Elina, Eli, and Evie down to Brownsville with her.  The kids were so excited to go see their grandparents and to be with their aunt all by themselves!  They had so much fun!

They spent one day at the beach.  It was a really windy day, but they didn't care.  They love going to the beach to look for shells and play in the water.  Look how happy they all look!

This next picture is one of my favorites!  The kids just spent the day running up and down the beach...running away from waves...
I love watching Evie enjoy the beach.  
The next day they went to the Children's Museum.
I like how Evie's screwdriver is reversed...
...then she tries to see why things aren't working.  So cute!

After that weekend, Aunt A definitely needed a vacation when she got back from Brownsville.  (She's an awesome aunt to willingly want to take 3 kids with her!)  And the kids had to catch up on some much-needed sleep.  But, boy, was it worth it for them!
As for me and B, it was strange to have only 1 kid in the house...especially a kid who doesn't talk!  It was eerily quiet for us.  It wasn't totally relaxing though since Eulee wasn't sleeping well at night and there was still a good amount of crying...but it was nice to be able to take care of our own things while she napped.  I managed to clean all the bathrooms and vacuum the house on the first day.  Usually there's a mess right after I clean, which is always discouraging.  It felt good to know that everything would stay clean until they got back home.  Sad that I consider that a victory.
