Beachin’ It - The Ocean

What’s better than a week at the beach with your family and fabulous friends…well, nothing!  In early September (yep, I’m a little slacker) we hit the waves on Cinnamon Beach with our beloved Moseley’s.  It did not disappoint!  Jonathan and I had not been away on vacation like this since our honeymoon SIX year ago!  Thankful just wouldn’t fit…we were overjoyed! 

So, without further ado, I’ll will bring the vacation to you in categories, because, well, I took too many pictures and can’t organize them in a better way ;)

See this beautiful can of Coke?  It’s resting upon the sand, in all its glory, just passing the time away.  We used to join that can on the beach.  Now it is just a lonesome soul.  Sorry Coke, we are too busy with kids now, and we wouldn’t have it any other way (as long as Coke is still in reach…amen).

This little girl loved the beach with a deep kind of love.  Her mouth was pretty much like this the entire time we were on the sand!  Her sister, on the other hand, preferred the calmness of the pool (which explains panic faces and a lot of carrying in all of our beach pictures with Ella)!  However, Audrey’s love of the pool didn’t quite run so deep.  Good thing we had both to satisfy these girls!

Look at that beach…not a soul in sight.  It was so peaceful!  September is the time to go!

Who loves building sandcastles…I think Daddy!

Ella began warming up to the ocean little by little!  Towards the end of the week, she only still panicked when Dillan would run toward the water.  I can still hear her little voice crying, “Ms. Mandi…oh no…get Dillan, get Dillan…ohhhhhh.”  Such a tender and cautious heart.

These girls are great sisters and fabulous friends!  Ella often says, “This is my friend, Audrey.”  Seeing their deep bond develop is just overwhelming at times. 

This picture is not good at all (we were moving down the beach) but it holds such a cute memory!  The girls were laughing so much at each other in one of their little games they develop…and understand.  This particular game consisted of putting dresses over your head while the other one yanked it down…they are creative I tell ya…I’m thinking Parker Brothers will be calling soon!

Precious memories.
