Ellie's first time sitting in the sand! Thank goodness that binky was in or the sand would have definitely gone in her mouth.

exploring with grandpa. 

Yes, Julia, we got Brinley the same suit! We can see her running in that neon suit from anywhere on the beach.

Bathtub Reef beach at low tide. You can really see the reef here and how calm it makes the water. It feels and looks like a bathtub! 

My parents pulled out early Tuesday morning. We miss them already so much! We had a great visit and we can't wait until we're all together again in July for a family reunion in Canada.

    1. Yep, we are on the atlantic side. About 30 miles north of West Palm Beach. I'm sad about Ellie's hair too! It was so epic to see that hair stand up straight, but it's growing in pretty nicely so it is weighing it down.

  2. What a fun weekend!! This post makes me so happy and excited for you guys. I bet your parents LOVED IT and will visit way more now that the beach is 10 minutes away. Also, dang girl you're looking great! I love that picture of you holding the tumperware. Can't wait to see those tans come through =)

  4. How cute is your mom's suit?! Your beach posts are making me green with envy. I'm so much more of a mountain girl than an ocean one, but these pictures are making me want some sand in between my toes!
