We just returned from our Kirley family beach trip. We went to Saint George Island and had the best time. We stayed in an absolutely fabulous house right on the beach. We had great weather and had an even more fun! Pictures are plenty, especially since I have been practicing my new photography skills. So, I hope you enjoy!
Walking with Daddy on the beach
Hangin' out at the pool. She is obsessed with bananas right now!
I love this one. She was a bit "testy" this morning. I attempted to put her hair in pigtails so it wouldn't be such a mess all day. I only got one in successfully, so the rest of her hair had to go in a bow. She wouldn't let me take the one pigtail out. Needless to say, we did not attempt anymore pigtails for the week.
She thinks she is pretty funny. This is Emmie "mooning" the camera!
Ode to the John Deer hat. Of course I bought her the cutest sun hat to wear. She wouldn't have anything to do with it. Brent had this one and it was the only hat she would keep on all week. She became a bit attached to it. It made an appearance in most of my pictures!
Check out the sunrise from the bedroom balcony! Yes, I was up early enough to see the sun rise. I suppose sometime in the next few years I may be able to sleep in past 7am.
Sunscreen application was hell! So we came up with a method. She got to put some on Daddy and then he got to put some on her. Whatever works.... honestly!
I got my face out from behind the camera to get a pic of Mommy and Emmie!
I was trying to get some cute ones. It was right before nap time. Can you tell she was tired? Oh and the shoes... She did not like the sand on her feet. If we were at our private pool she was fine without the shoes, but once we hit the beach... they had to be on!
This is Emmie's play friend, Shea. Her daddy and Tim, my brother and Emmie's Uncle, are best friends. They joined us and were a blast.
It was close to bedtime and one boo-boo turns into a drama masterpiece. Daddy was there to wipe the tears. Mommy was there to take a picture, haha!
This was the dress I made for her (Amy- don't be alarmed, I am not stealing business :). I am simply trying to be a bit domesticated. They quality doesn't compare to
brownie-goose!)
Daddy taught her to fly a kite. She kept letting it go, but she loved it!
I love this one. McCay was "sunbathing" (in his own words) just hanging out on the boardwalk watching the kite fly. Ahh, the simple things in life.
More oysters than you can imagine were consumed. Not by the preggers, mostly the boys. McCay even had a few! He is so brave!
Emmie and Papa watching the birds fly by.
This was the best. Everyday she fell asleep in Brent's arms on the beach right before nap time. She was worn out ever day!
Playing "this little piggy" with Papa and the cousins.
Just cruising down the boardwalk.
McCay and Noelle. Isn't this such a sweet bro/sis moment. Connor didn't get around my camera enough.
I can't believe I am posting this for mine or my brother, John's sake. But hilarious nonetheless! 27 weeks and counting. I can't believe I shoved this bod in a bikini. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Just one beautiful sunset...
The house lit up at night, from the back.
The last night bonfire. How great that they allow campfires on the beach at night!
The "boys" at the fire. If you can only imagine the conversations... They also did some crabbing and caught a few too!
What a great time. It is so hard to come back to the real world, especially when you have to battle spring break traffic on the way home! ugh!
Emmie took me to breakfast at JCristopher's. She was a sweetheart to me all day. That was a gift in itself!
