Toes in the water

Flo Rida!

So we were finally able to drag Kevin away from work... for a week at the beach! I took so many pictures of so many firsts. As always, this is just a fraction of the pics we took... but still there are so many I decided to make them "small" so it would seem like fewer. :)

What a wonderful week. While it was cold and rainy at home, we enjoyed a week of 85 degree, warm but breezy days with our toes in the water and... well, you know. (The forecast predicted thunderstorms for our entire vacation... but we barely saw a cloud... the weather was heavenly!)

Some of our baggage...
Bout to board with a baby for the first time! Boy were Leah's parents nervous...

She sat with mama the whole time... on a teeny tiny airplane.
Finally at the beach! These are pictures on the back porch of our house for the week! The Curleys LOVE the beach!!

Gotta have a straw hat.

With her Bitty and Pops! The girl was held by someone the entire time! We're working on breaking that bad habit this week!

Peas in a pod... as always...

We saw some amazing sunsets.

But I only saw 1 sunrise... The sun comes up earlier in Florida!
Kevin walked right out into the gigantic waves and caught a bunch of fish. This time he caught 2 at once. They are Crevalle Jacks. :)

Leah watching her daddy...

Is there anything better than playing with your blocks by the ocean?

Shades...

Look at that happy little beach bum!

What a pair...

Getting in some last-minute-Pops-time.

We don't even call her Leah much anymore. Its Nosey Rosy!

Why is he so excited?

Cause we're finally home after a stressful airplane trip? No.

Because we had such a great vacation? No.

Because he loves getting on elevators? NO!

Its because he's holding the "loaner" carseat that the airline gave us after they lost ours. He's excited about trying to install it in the airport parking lot with no instructions. He loves a challenge!

Turns out it was pretty easy and he did a great job.

Nosey Rosy wore herself out last week. She needs a vacation!
