Santa Rosa Review - Day 2

Our first full day at the beach started out beautifully.  We awoke to this right outside our windows!

It really doesn't get much better.

Very soon us and the three amigos were heading down to check out the beach.

A nice beach dude offered to take our picture at the top of the stairs...

then we ran down to the ocean!  It was the girls' first time to see it and essentially Jackson's too. He'd been once before but was only 6 months old.  They took a few minutes to take it all in...

and then started jumping right in!  I can still hear their laughter and it makes my heart smile.

Lila sat on her daddy's shoulders for most of the time, but did get her feet wet after a few minutes.

After we'd made sure that the beach was awesome, we came back up and Jackson made his way into a baseball game.  You know he was so happy--baseball and the beach, now that's a good day!

After nap time, we were ready to go back out.  Madison had found Aunt Lyndsie's high heels and was strutting her stuff around the condo:)  The girl is not lacking in personality!
 
The Fab 5 hit the Florida coast.


Uncle Scott kept things lively by picking up a dead fish!  Thank goodness it was the only one we saw that week.  The kids thought it was so funny and Maddie was even brave enough to touch it!


The Hays bros hung out with some cervezas...

The big kids explored the huge sandbar...

Lila watched Claire fly a kite...

the Mamas got to chill for a few minutes...

the guys had their pre-deep sea fishing meeting...

Lila and Teagan buried their legs in the sand...

and Madison and Presley worked on their surfer girl poses. 
We were quite a crew and had a great first day at the beach!
