The Beach

We recently took our first family vacation to the beach. We had a wonderful time and had much needed family time. We never take a vacation that is only us and it was nice to start this tradition with Ellie here now. We did lots of swimming, the pool in the morning and the beach in the afternoon. Ellie had a great time in the pool and loved being pulled around in her float. She also loved sitting like a big girl in her own lounge chair eating her snack. At the beach she loved sitting on my lap at the edge of the water and feeling the water and sand. She also loved the sand and especially loved eating it, but she didn't spend much time in it this time since her Daddy didn't like her getting it all over her and eating it. Next time we will spend some time playing in the sand a little more :) Ellie and I got colds while we were there, but nothing too bad and Ellie was a trooper and didn't let it bother her and luckily Ben didn't get it until on the way home. We are so thankful to our friends for letting us borrow their beach condo, it was a wonderful trip filled with many wonderful memories!!!
