Our First Family Vacation

In early October, KEA took her first family vacation to the beach. She was GREAT! My parents were able to go and help too. Going to the beach was fun, but it is definitely different with a baby. Due to the tropical storms and such down in the gulf, the ocean was closed much of the time because of the strong rip currents. However, when it was open, the purple flags ere up because of the mass amount of jellyfish floating around. No big deal though, KEA wasn't crazy about the waves anyway, but she loves the pool! So, we spent time there most of our days in the sun and enjoyed shopping too.


The first day we arrived, we went to supper and walked around a bit, then decided that we couldn't wait to have her see the beach and feel the sand for the first time, so this was it. Can't you see the excitement in her eyes?

The day was so cold from the strong winds! But we didn't drive all the way to the beach to stay indoors! :)

KEA loves to be outside! She enjoyed sitting on the beach and watching all the people, seagulls, and waves. She even attempted to eat the sand, but we were glad that she didn't like the first bite. Yuck! :)

She was even more interested in the umbrella that my parents brought.

As you can see, her first time in the ocean water wasn't a success. Her daddy kept trying to stick her in it, but she wasn't going to have anything to do with it that first day and refused to put her feet down.

We do have a water baby-she takes after her mommy on that one!


She really wanted to swim like the big kids... :)

She also just loved laying out in the sun and entertaining anyone nearby.

One wonderful family trip down and we hope many more to go... :D
