Vacation part 1

This picture makes me want to go right back...

to the beach!


We had such a great time!

And we wanted to share some of the many things we all learned while we there:

1. We all learned the basics in beach preparation.
Lillianna always reminded us,
"We need our babe-in-suits and sunscream before we leave the combo."



2. The beach is ALWAYS more FUN with FRIENDS!
So glad The Reynolds were there...Lucy was a hit with Lillianna & Ellenie



3. We learned how to make sand angels...
and realized they are more lovely from the front...


than from the back.

4. We all learned (again) how much fun sand can be.

(Although Ellenie had to be convinced of this often.)

5. Mommy learned that when trying to keep your little ones happy so you can stay at the beach a little longer...anything goes.

Including playing in the stagnant puddles....eeeewwww.

6.The girls learned that the best time of the day at the beach is always sunset.

There's just something magical about it.

7.We all learned or were reminded that the beach is best enjoyed when being/acting like a child...

dancing in the sand, running in the waves with your clothes on...

being amazed at it all.

It's just a great place for the soul.
