Sun and Fun

Pop and I spent a wonderful long weekend at the beach with Josh, Lindsey and the babies. Lots of great food, beautiful sunshine, calm waters, and time to be together.  We love going this time of the year!  The weather is still gorgeous, and the crowds have thinned out tremendously.  We have started staying at a condo right by the pass that is also directly on the beach.  We love watching the boats go in and out all day! The girls and Reed had a wonderful time, and so did the rest of us big kids!

How was this for a perfect start to the day?  On days like this, I am glad our babies get up so early.  I would not have wanted to miss this!

Our big girl is growing up so fast!  She enjoyed the water, until tons of the biggest jellyfish we'd ever seen showed up! Luckily, they were only there one day.

This one didn't get too close to the water, but she still had a great time!!

This angel spent several hours on the first day just sitting in Pop's lap checking everything out!

Lillian joined them for a little while, too!

 

There is always a castle to build or a hole to dig! That little picture on the bottom shows us hauling all the gear down the boardwalk on the first day.  The fun makes it well worth the journey!

Lots of talking and a little walking!

Reed caught lots and lots of these fish!  The girls enjoyed watching!

If there's a hill around, these babies are going to find it!

Wipe out!!

These sweet things had a ball!

The beach is also the perfect place to play peek-a-boo!

There's nothing better than family time!

Birds, Crabs, and Birthday presents!

The girls and Reed brought Pop a couple of special birthday presents that they picked out themselves!  Two Alabama cups from Maddie, and a special little giraffe from Lillian that now proudly sits on our dresser!

I've got at least two more beach posts!  Lillian and I are also headed to the pumpkin patch this week! I think I may throw in a little work this week, too!
