Vacation Day 3

This was our first full day at the beach.  We woke up, had waffles (compliments of Mama!) and then got ready to go to the beach.  You'll see several pics taken of the kiddos out on the deck of the condo.  They appear to be "ready for the beach" but they are killing time.  It takes FOREVER to get ready to go out to the beach.  Perhaps someday I'll get better about organizing all of this, but for now it's a monumental effort.  So, while we were getting ducks in a row, I snapped some pics of the cousins.

Beach time!

 Grandmommie gets the prize for playing with the cousins in the water.  She spent 75% of her beach time holding a grandbaby and bobbing around in the waves.  They're so lucky to have her.  She also helped Caroline get over her fear of the water and distaste for the sand (both issues arose during their Destin beach trip in April).

 Ellie has the right idea!

No, I was wrong before.  It's Phillip who has the right idea.  He is relaxing in the shade with beach drink in his hand.
