Finally...A Family Vacation




Karlee has been asking all summer when she was going to the beach. She was ready to play in the sand, jump waves, and find seashells. I feel like summer flew by at the speed of lightning. Between summer school, swim lessons, Chip's fishing tournaments, and various other things going on, we finally found a weekend to get away with the girls (and my parents, Adam, and Erin).

Here are a few of the 482 pictures I took over 4 days. Madelyn had a love/hate relationship with the sand. She was fine sitting in it (and eating it) for a bit but then was over it and let you know.


















These blue crabs were everywhere in the water. Most of them were full of eggs so we guessed they had come to shore for bedding.




Madelyn took lots of naps in her cabana in front of the fan. Karlee couldn't resist getting in there either. So much for keeping it sand-free!





Adam brought some beach (tailgate) games. The boys played these all day long. Karlee got to join in too!





Karlee was tall enough this time to ride the go carts and bumper boats. Karlee wanted Chip to ride with her on the go carts and me to ride with her on the bumper boats. I think Chip got the better deal!!







Madelyn got to ride a carousel for the first time. This is the same carousel Karlee rode for the first time too!



And, we couldn't leave the beach without getting some white dress pictures! I have come to realize that it's very hard to get 2 kids to look at the camera at the same time.
