At the Beach

Missed me? We just got back from a glorious week at the beach with Justin's family. We went to Topsail Island, NC (google it because even if I tried to tell you where it was, you wouldn't know) and spent time on the beach, shopping, laughing, running away from creepy crabs, and just being ultimately lazy. It was Haylie's first time to fly in an airplane, first time at the ocean, first time to be away from home for a whole week. She did really good - minus the airplane. She actually was so excited that she was like a kid in a candy store touching everything in a matter of 20 minutes and then repeating throughout the whole 3 hour flight. Even though she is under 2, I really wished we would have gotten her her own seat. She was EVERYWHERE and hard to contain. Oh well, we survived but probably won't be flying anywhere anytime soon!

SUCH a great week...I really love this tradition and look forward to many more years with the fam.  For more fun photos of our trip, check out Brei's blog...and then leave her a comment and tell her to start a photography business because her pictures are amazing.

I hope you wanted me to read the title of this post like the creepy Donatella Versace lady from the tanning commercials because I did :) Great pics! Glad you guys had a great time!

It looks like you all had a great trip. We are getting ready to take 2 little ones on their first plane ride in less than a week...needless to say, I am nervous!

Wow! You're getting big! I'm glad you're getting to enjoy summer vacations and not be super pregnant.
