The latest news is that we just returned from the beach with Mimi and Bamps. We were able to go back to Holden Beach, NC. It is one of our favorite beaches to just hangout and relax. Abby was a waterbug this year and was old enough to really ride the waves. Josie took a page from Abby's book and slept a good portion of the time we were on the beach. By week's end, she had made friends with the ocean and was pulling Bamps and Daddy to the waves. We returned fairly sunburn free. Here's how the whole thing went down:
Watch out, Waves! Here she comes!
"Anyone know where a girl can get somewater around here?"
"I dunno, Bamps, they say there'ssome water for my sandcastle this way."
Anyone up for some fun?
Bamps is awesome at riding the waves.
Our happy family-- after a beach nap!
She totally did not want me to take this picture– shemight miss a wave.
Diggin' the tidal pools... quite literally.
