Burying Daddy in the sand

Keep digging!

Kylie is helping too!

Are we done yet??

We did it! Daddy is buried in the sand!

We enjoyed another beautiful and oil-free day at the beach! My girls were both SO brave this year and ventured a long way out into the ocean. They loved playing in it, even despite some icky seaweed floating around in the water. They would toss it aside and keep swimming. What a difference from last year!! Kylie is fearless but Ansley definitely has come to love splashing in the waves! She even remembers how scared she was last year. One year ago, she wouldn't touch the water w/out panicing. She was so afraid the boats in the water were going to hit her daddy. Now, she doesn't even seem to notice anything else in the water. Kylie didn't seem to mind the splashing salt water. It would catch her breath, she would rub her eyes, sputter the water out, and keep on going! The ocean has been more fun this year than before!

We played in the pool for most of the afternoon. The girls are really enjoying the pool too! We have a small little ledge that borders our pool that the girls love jumping off of and into the water. Kylie is too funny. She is 2 and let me reiterate again, totally fearless. She counts, "1, 2, 3, (3 claps) and then jumps. Ansley has started going underwater and holding her breath. Yay Ansley. This is something new for her and we are so proud and so is she! That is a scary thing to do. I remember how scared I was the first time I went underwater by myself.

And then it was naptime! The girls slept so hard after a fun filled day.

Our friends, Pati and Chas and their girls , and Brannon and Becky and their daughter Elliot are all down here right now so we went and had dinner at Hammerhead Freds. The girls were so cute! They all got thier own booth at the restaurant and loved it! As we all enjoyed the company! Although, I am not real sure the waiter loved our crew and our noise-ha! It was still fun!

We ended the night with Dippin Dots-yum! Both my girls made a "happy bowl" and enjoyed every bite!We are loving this trip!
