North Beach Oasis

We ventured to Racine, 45 minutes south of us, to the North Beach Oasis. It was a much-needed day of fun and relaxation at the beach. Taylor spent the entire weekend with us. The entire weekend, people. And for those of you in the medical field, you know that a solid 48 hours without work, call, or study is very rare indeed. We went with our good friends the Leiters. We have so much fun with them.
Making a sand butterfly.
Amy and Becca. Becca was a serious fan of the water. Despite shaking from the cold and turning blue, she still wanted to stay in the water.
Hmmm, another crusty. This is what happens when you interrupt sand castle building time to take a picture.
One of the two half hour naps Nora took that day. She was a trooper. I was surprised that she didn't even mind the freezing cold water when we dipped her feet in.
Trying to get the sand off her feet, apparently.
Not sure why Eliza has a crusty on her face in all these pictures. I swear, she had the time of her life :)
One of Eliza's "favorite friends," Natalie. Taken right after chasing the seagulls.


Yeah, they look alike.
After five hours at the beach, we were all pretty exhausted.
