Beach Trip!

We had a blast this week sharing a beach house with my parents, sister, brother-in-law and niece! As we make our long 16 hour trip back to Michigan I wanted to make a list of all my favorite moments of this week before I forget!

•digging up clams with the girls
•karate kicking waves
•seeing fun ocean animals-sting rays, dolphins, 8 inch red string worm, baby blue crabs, jelly fish AKA "slimies", sand fleas
•letting clams dig in our hands
•collecting shells with Isabella
•Isabella's nap on my lap
•watching the cousins play together
•Justin walking with ALL the girls by himself
•lunch with mom and Sara
