Beach Trip #2!!

We're back!! We had another wonderful vacation, this time to Sandbridge Beach/Virginia Beach. We went with Adam's side of the family and enjoyed more time in the sun, sand...

and OCEAN - yes that little head is Ella's out in the middle of the ocean!




We buried 'Papa' in the sand!




Above is the view we saw each day from our deck - so beautiful!




Ella's cousin Lexie was there, and 'the girls' had a wonderful time! They went to Chuck E Cheese, played games at the house, and their absolute favorite was swimming in the pool together!!









How are these for some beautiful sunsets!! We said 'good bye' to the beach for this summer, but are still enjoying these last few weeks off work! We plan to go camping (Ella's first camp adventure), back to King's Dominion, swimming, we have two birthday parties coming up, and will end the summer by spending some time in West Virginia!

More beach and beyond!!

Beautiful sunsets!!...
Ella's first kite flying...
She climbed 217 steps to the top of a lighthouse (and LOVED it!)...

Tomatoes we are growing!!...

'The girls' baking cookies on a rainy day...

Chillin' on the deck...
painting faces and playing in the pool!!...

Just a quick upload of more beach pics, and some of what we've been doing since we've been back - which includes enjoying our home grown tomatoes (right from our back deck!), cooking, face painting, chilling on the deck, going to 'spray grounds', playgrounds, outdoor concerts (Friday's after Five in Cville for you locals), going to the river and having fun with friends (going to the movies, and having people over to play!!!) Summer is SOOO awesome - and we leave on Saturday for another beach adventure!!!!
