The cutest video in the world, until it goes wrong, horribly wrong

We're on vacay in Avila Beach. Tubadad has a gig down here and the whole family tagged along to make a party out of it. We're having a blast so far. Here are a few pics (in a slideshow, sorry, the rooftop deck is calling my name and I've gotta make this fast). Besides, does anyone even want to see pictures, or do you just want to watch that video? There's a really, really cute pic of the girls holding hands and jumping into the waves: (view thumbnails, pics with captions, or direct link to slideshow) Alright, alright, here's the video. When you watch it, please picture the sounds of birds chirping and beautiful music playing for the first three times they run to the water, and then picture one of those screeching noises when you drag the needle over a record. Don't worry, you'll know exactly when to insert that noise. Heh. PS: The girls are fine, and can't wait to run in the waves tomorrow, although Ro sagely said "Maybe tomorrow I wear da swimsuit, mama." Stroke of luck that I didn't chuck that video camera into the sand when it happened, by the way -- I think I was kinda rooted to the ground in disbelief. And oh my goodness we're all horrible, terrible, awful people, but we watched that video over and over after the girls went to bed and cannot stop laughing. It is classic!! I think my mom just snorted. PSPS: Thanks for the fun entries and comments on Fashion Challenge Friday! We'll do it again next Friday, so make sure to have your kiddos dress themselves at least once this week and take a cool pic of it to post on Friday.

  2. Poor babies.

    But I have to say, Stinkin cute and after I knew they were OKAY I did laugh the next time I found it.

    It's like they were connected, one right after the other.

  5. Ok.. so I felt soo bad for them when they fell but I too chuckled just a little. I agree with Teresa.. that would definitely make a funny AFV submission

  6. That is classic! I have pictures of the first time that happened to Rylee - I WISH I had video :)

  7. I'm so sorry, but I laughed so hard tears ran down my face. I would've taped the whole thing too... priceless.

    Glad you're all having fun. I bet the girls will now be falling into the water on purpose :)

  8. That was precious! I'm pretty used to everything the sea can throw at you and that is far and away one of the funniest wave actions I've seen in a while!

  11. They are too cute. Poor little things. I'm glad it hasn't stopped them from wanting to go into the water again.

  12. That is America's Funniest Videos worthy! I laughed heartily... after I realized they were ok, of course.

  13. Hey there - Just a note to say we'd love to meet at Avila - We met once at Donna and Andrews at the girl's 3rd birthday party. Our Melissa is almost exactly their Gwen and Maddy's age. Anyway, if you are still in town, give us a call if you like.

    Stacy, Bruce and Melissa (Guangxi)

  14. I have to say I watched the ending twice..I am so impressed with how fast they got up. I laughed that no one ran to help them. To darn FUNNY!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I felt bad laughing, but that was hysterical!! I hope they have better luck today out in those waves!

    Enjoy the rest of your trip!

  17. That really is classic! I had to watch it 2X. Eliza didn't like seeing her friends cry!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I totally agree with Teresa, AFV for sure!! I was laughing so hard at their crying because it was so "twinish". What a nice beach with a long water area where it's not deep. All of our beaches are so unsafe!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. This is GREAT! I love how they both fell on the same wave and fell the exact same way! Twins for sure! Our Presley (almost 2) saw the beach for the first time 2 weeks ago. My husband stopped to look at a shell, a wave came, down she went and was completely covered by the wave. Your video will be a keepsake video for sure!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Okay, I've watched it twice and have tears running down my face. That is pure awesomeness. You must enter that into some kind of funny, video contest.

    ReplyDelete
  21. LOL!! THat is one to submit to AFV! Glad you guys are enjoying some Avila time...LOVE that area...my old home.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh the poor babies - BUT that was SO FUNNY. I'm so glad they are okay so we can all laugh at this.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think I'm a horrible-awful-terrible person too, because I watched it a few times and laughed each time! It was a fine art how they both managed to do that, and exactly the same too!

    Funny! In a cruelish kinda way!

  24. Felt guilty for laughing and then I saw you guys were laughing too! But oh... I know that cry and it hurts when they get freaked out or hurt. Glad they are fine. Have fun!

  25. It's Ro's feet popping up into the air after her rounded belly flop that get me... totally hilarious ( sorry girls)

  26. Hello! I've read your blog a few times off of Emily's at Outnumbered. I find your story pretty amazing by getting your twins. Do you mind if I add you to my favorite blogs?

    They are so adorable !! I know it scared them soooo bad, glad they were ok. I hope they get back in the water after this, i have been afraid of the water all my life and that isn't fun. Ro and Ree ROCK !!!!!!! it is so good for them to get to do all the fun stuff that you and Tubadad arrange for them, 2 lucky little girls. Have fun and keep the videos and pics coming, we love them. ( i have followed your blog since you got your referral for them, and they are growing up so fast, just doll babies!) I have a grdaughter from China and i love her soooo much, God blessed me real good when He put her in our family. They are truly our "little China dolls"

  29. Awesome pictures, and funny video! On the shots with just the beach and the pier in them (like in the video), it looks like you could have made those on the beach where we live. There is a massive pier here.

  30. The whole video is just precious... ALL the way to the end!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm a terrible person too because I totally started laughing. So much so that Joe asked me what I was laughing at. And then he said I was mean :)

    Gosh they look so big. I can't wait to see you guys next week!

    ReplyDelete
  32. OMG, hubs and I are totally cracking up over here! Classic! But I love that they have the spunk and courage enough to get back in the water. What cuties!

    I agree...you need to send that in to AFV.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I was so relieved to scroll down afrer watching and see that you laughed. I felt like a bad person because I did the same thing...LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  34. really funny!!! hehehehehe....so so cute!!! (wet, but cute)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Cute! I did laugh out loud after I saw they were okay.

    ReplyDelete
  36. First, I can't believe you would let them run so far from you. That is too scary for me.
    That fall was very scary but the part that was funny for me (and still can't believe it) is that they BOTH fell! I watched it so many time just that part just to see if one of then caused the other one to fall but nothing! Maybe you should pinch Ree's finger to see if Ro feels it, honestly they both fell almost at the same time and pretty much the same way, that is amazing!
    I also admire how well they did with the fall. they both got up right away and ran (even with their eyes closed, poor babies!)and I can't believe that no one went to rescue your babies! I think you were all in shock.
    Your girls are so good and brave! It was so cute to see them run so excited and happy.
    Keep enjoing the weather!

    Classic and too cute! "It's just water" is an awesome way to let them know they are okay! Do they want to watch it and laugh at themselves now?-give it a couple of years and it might be their new favorite video! I'm sure you guys had a blast!

    ReplyDelete

  57. OMG! I have never commented here before but check in every once in a while to see your cute cute girls... and OMG I am laughing in my office right now at this video!!! This so reminds me of something that would happen in our family with our twin boys-- and yes, we (the "grown ups") would be laughing and snorting too!! OMG! So cute and funny!!! Awesome that you caught it on video!!! Thanks for the laugh!
