at the beach

After the party, we went to Gulf Shores. Elena had a super time in the sand and water-the child is virtually fearless!
Pam came up with the great idea of having a little pool under the canopy so she didn't get burned. It was a hit!
On our morning walk in our pajamas-we met this little dog named Tino. She saw him and said "play?". So, we did.

Sitting in the waves with mama and daddy. FYI, we both had to buy swimsuits because neither of us have owned one since we've been married, at least. And, mine is maternity, of course. Lovely. (we're going to the beach in September too, so I figured it was a worthwhile investment).
Trying on Grandpa's scuba flippers
She LOVED the swimming pool, and got very fearless jumping off the side to mama.

Sweet beach girl covering her legs like daddy!

She decided she liked her sunglasses on this trip

She much prefers daddy wear the flippers than her.

She liked to fill the bucket, then carry it somewhere to dump it
