We have seemed to be on the go with home projects, work, school for the kids, and school for Daddy since the beginning of the year so we decided to declare last Saturday a "Teipen Family Holiday". This way we were forced to put all work aside since there is no working on a holiday. It proved to be lots of fun and we all anticipated it for the week, just as if it were a real holiday. 
The first order of business was a nice trip to the beach. Maddie and Sam have been patiently waiting for a time to try out their new beach wear and Mommy was looking forward to donning her maternity bathing suit....but my old one still fit so that will have to happen another day!
It was pretty windy on the beach, but the kids didn't feel it! Maddie stopped to pose for a few cute shots, but as always Sam's picture had to be snapped while he was on the go!
The water was really cold, but the kids didn't notice this either and were pretty wet by the end of the trip. Sand castles were built, large holes in the sand were dug and Daddy showed the kids how to do a back flip off a sand dune, which proved to be the most entertaining! (I wish I had the camera out to capture that one for you all...Let's just say he didn't stick the landing!)
Jumping off the sand turned out to be the most entertaining thing on the beach and kept the kids busy for a full 30 minutes!
We then headed home for showers and then went back out the Pier Park (a mall on the beach)
