Beach Fun

Just as soon as we could get checked in, we put on our swimsuits and headed to the beach. This was the view we saw. The weather was great the whole time we were there -- mid 80s and no rain.

Anna Kate had been to the beach before, but she didn't remember it. She was only four then, so it was fun watching her rediscover everything.

This was Emma's first time at the beach, and she loved it. I thought she might be a little scared, but I should have known that she would be fine because she is a our little daredevil.

Emma loved to turn her back to the waves and wait for them to hit her.

They also loved playing in the sand. I wish I could take credit for this great sand castle, but we found it the first evening we arrived. It had a neat tunnel running under it.
The girls built their own sand castles. It was like playing in God's giant sandbox. Too fun.

One of our favorite things was just standing near the water and feeling the sand erode under our feet each time a wave came in.

We also found tons of sea shells.

Sweet Sisters

One day we went out exploring. We visited a couple of gift shops where the girls each bought something. We also found a fun park with a huge playground and walked on the beach.

Sunset on the Beach

We headed to a state park section of the beach that was mostly secluded and had a good sunset view. When we arrived, the sun was just starting to set. It was so pretty.

Night Walk on the Beach

After the sunset pictures, we ate supper and headed back to our hotel and out our back door onto the beach for a night walk. It is so pretty out there at night.

Beach Portraits

One evening when the sun went behind the condos, we took some portrait pictures. Thank goodness for a tripod and a cooperative family. Sorry for sharing so many photos, but I just had too many favorites. We really did have a great time.

Memorial Day

Hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend. On our way to Walmart today, we stopped by the First Baptist Church where they have tons of flags on the lawn in honor of Memorial Day. The girls enjoyed checking them out. Here are some pics.
