the beach

yes.  i'm nuts.  we went to the beach on week 37 and 38.  seriously people-if pulling a stroller through the sand didn't put me into labor-i'm not going to go.  bets are still on induction.

so we made the trip out to long beach and rockaway.  they both are a little bit of a trek with strollers-but so worth it.  i've been trying to decide which one i like better- long beach has umbrellas and chairs to rent while rockaway has the taco stand and a handy dandy walkway that gets you out to the water (so nice with strollers).  if i had to choose....could i choose?  those fish tacos were divine.  but having someone bring an umbrella and chair to the spot of your choosing?  i'm guessing that later in the summer long beach might win out as it gets hotter/stickier and rockaway gets more crowded with long lines at the taco stand.

needless to say-we made quite the stir wherever we went with our 7 strollers, 11 babies, and 10 gorgeous gals (of course!).  it was definitely a few days to remember and i'm SO glad i squeezed it in before the new babe.

me and the little guy

just strollin' along the beach.  gorgeous day.

walking around to get him down for naptime

babies on parade-check out the youngest (3 months!) lounging on the backpack on the left.  we couldn't leave him out!

just blocking the entire subway (check out that girl on the right-she's totally trapped and SO happy about it ;)

running straight for the water.  he has no fear i tell you!

just chatting with a friend.  

beach umbrellas, snacks, babies.  we had it all.

this pictures makes me look skinnier than i am.  i like it.  (i'm so close to being able to see my toes again!  it's funny the things you get excited about)

cute face.  keeping a death grip on that arm so he doesn't run head first into the ocean

dragging our strollers through the sand.  we're tough!
