And now....the beach!!!! We spent 4 days at the beach and we loved it! Our first trip was to Cocoa beach where we met Sarah, Grace, and Ruby! Piper also came with us and got so sunburnt ( as well did I a little) poor thing :) We had a great time, and loved cocoa but as said in the below pics the gulf beaches are WAY better! Our second time was at a beach right near robyns place, kirsten found some friends and we enjoyed a relaxing afternoon listening to the waves and enjoying the warm sun!
Our third trip was with my brother Taylor, his wife and boys to pensacola beach. It was chilly but Kirsten and Mackay still had lots of fun playin in the water. And we did enjoy a great walk on the beach peir doing a little shoping and enjoying a yummy lunch at a local place!
Our 4th was at my alltime most favorite beach ever! Clearwater beach near Tampa! It was so beautiful, white as snow kirsten said. It was a perfect day with just enough sunshine and ended at another great local place for yummy food and great atmosphere right on the beach! We were homesick just before going there and when I got there I felt I could stay forever!! Can you tell how much I love the beach? WE miss it and all our wonderful friends and family in Florida!

Havin a blast on the beach with great friends, this girl LOVES the ocean!

Kirsten and Grace at the beach, she loved playin with the girls. If you don't notice the difference, this beach is on the atlantic coast as opposed to the other pics on the gulf, the gulf is sooo much more beautiful!

I am so jealous that you got to go on such a long vacation!! Florida sounds awesome. That is great you got to see the smilies! Come hang out with us again, we will go swiming, I am kind off close to Saratoga.

Yes, I love that swimsuit too! You both look great. Oh, how I miss the water! I'm not one of those beach girls (lucky for anyone with eyes who goes to the beach with any regularity) but I do so love seeing the water. Sigh. I don't know if I'm cut out for desert living :-)

Glad to see you are having tons of fun!

What a great way to vacay!! Love the pictures, you and Kirsten are so stinkin' cute! I've only been to the ocean once and would love to go again. I'll add the beaches you went to, to my list. :D

Thanks for stopping by my blog! My last post made me laugh too, so no worries. It's ok to lose our minds every once in awhile right? ;)
