Beach



We had a great trip to Florida.  Natalie did just fine on the plane even though we had to wake her up at 4 am to drive to the airport.  We thought she would sleep on the drive and on the plane.  How do you think that went?

She was excited to get to the beach and was never scared of just being in the sand even with all the people around.  Once she went to the water, she was OK as long as the waves never got above knee level.  She would let us carry her out deeper as long as we held her above the water for the most part. 

It really was a good time.  Amy and I loved the time we got to spend with her and with each other.  Not having to pick up after her, cook dinner, pick up after her, try to keep her busy and out of stuff, and pick up after her was vacation enough.

Enjoy the pics and video.  Sorry the audio isn't great on the video, but I didn't know how the mic would react to the wind.  

We will get some birthday stuff up after her party with family on Saturday.




Coolin' off

She thought this Sand Dollar was a "chip."

  4. Emily, i will send some your way soon.

    Julia, we took three with us. i think that is all she has now that fit her. several others await her as she grows though. we do have a pool right next door at my parent's after all. You can't expect her to wear the same suit every day. :)
