The Indiana Dunes

This past weekend we took the girls up to the Indiana Dunes. Neither one of them had ever been to a beach...actually Rebekah was at Virginia Beach at 9 months old (that dosen't count!) They truly had a blast and we had a blast watching them! We also spent the night at a hotel with a pretty cool pool. We hope you enjoy the pictures of our very fun weekend!

We had just arrived and got them to pose for a quick picture...notice the sticks and rocks that have already been collected.

Playing in the waves with Daddy. It took them a while (especially Rebekah...Megan is braver about these things) to be brave enough to stand there and let the waves "get" them.

Megan was ready to just walk on into the water....we had to watch her closely!

Playing in the sand. Mommy tried to make a sand castle to inspire them, but all they wanted to do was step on it and crush it or pour water on it...oh, well.

What a pretty picture!

We walked up one dune....here the girls are resting halfway up.

We made it to the top!

Running back down!

Of course, they had to cover Daddy with sand!

Here we all are--we had a very fun day!

Being goofy in our hotel room!

All ready for bed and relaxing in front of the TV while they have their bedtime snack.

Rebekah is so proud of herself...Daddy taught her how to "swim" using the ducky in the big pool. You can see the concentration on her face.

Megan preferred to stick to the kiddie pool...what a goofy smile!

The kiddie pool had some water features including a froggy slide...here they both are sliding down....they did a lot of sliding on this frog!

Megan is enjoying the water in the kiddie pool. She did go in the big pool, but wanted Daddy to let go of her and let her swim. Of course, Daddy knew better than that so Megan decided that she would just stay in the kiddie pool. She can be so stubborn!
