Beach Bums

The girls and I headed down to Florida for a week with GG last month, and we had a blast!

I knew we were going to have a great time once we got there, but flying with the two girls by myself was terrifying.  Luckily, Frozen arrived at our house the day before and I had some great flyers!!!

When we got outside for the first time, Colbie exclaimed, “The snow is gone, the snow is gone” and then minutes later loudly tattled on a couple for “not wearing their coats”.  Needless to say, they transitioned to the climate change well when they realized they could play outside!

After naps on the first full day we were in Florida, we headed straight for the beach.  Not surprisingly, given her fearless personality, Syd loved it!!!

And just for comparison, here is a shot of sweet C’s first beach experience at the same age:

Luckily for everyone involved, Colbie now is a total beach bum and pretty much begged on a daily basis to go back, which we did, once or twice.

Gotta love having the beach practically to ourselves!  Not to mention a GG that gives free rides!

 Syd’s favorite things to do at the beach: 1: run directly toward the water without hesitation (terrifying), and 2: roll in the sand.  As of the first night of vacation, the laundry sink became the girl’s official bathtub, and it is plain to see why.
