Beach Trip

To celebrate my father's 60th birthday, he took the whole family to Perdido Key, Florida! It was so much fun.  I have many wonderful memories of going to the Emerald Coast with my family and I was excited to start the tradition with Charlotte.  She was a little weary of the waves but loved the sand, pool and of course people watching!

The beach is exhausting!

One of my favorite moments of the trip was Charlotte and Adrienne playing together on the couch.  Charlotte loves watching Adrienne and Jacob play but this time was ready to get in on the fun!

On the beach trip, I introduced Charlotte to sweet potatoes! She thought they were just okay, I bet she will love fruit!

In the morning it was nice to relax with a cup of coffee on the balcony listening to the waves.  One morning, Charlotte and I witnessed a dolphin show, 7 or so dolphins swam in front of our condo and began doing flips in the air, etc. I felt like I was getting a free Seaworld show!

Charlotte was a little weary of the waves but in her daddy's arms she got into the water!

 My mom gave my dad a professional photo shoot for this birthday.  We got some wonderful family pictures.  Charlotte didn't want to take any photos by herself that night so Addison and I did our own photo shoot of Charlotte one morning.

These two little girl cousins definitely enjoyed their time together!

Charlotte really enjoyed spending time with her cousins!

Charlotte had been working on sitting but seemed to really excel at it at the beach.

The last picture is on our last full beach day.  The water was the clearest it had been all week and you could see school of fishes swimming by!

We had a great time Popsy and hope you had a wonderful 60th!!
