Most nights we went back to the beach after dinner. I think this was most likely both girls favorite parts about each day. The tide made little pools of water all up and down the shore. The pools were warm, and the girls loved splashing in them and getting dirty in the sand.
Juliet began the week terrified of the ocean. She cried if it got too close to her. She hated the wet sand. By the end of the week, she would try to just run into the ocean. She needed some reminders to stay with an adult. She took the redirection well. :)
I love, love, love this series of Juliet in her dress. Leah is so not a fan of my camera. She always does what I lovingly call the "dinosaur" smile. She'll refuse to look at the camera, and but put on a 1/2 smile and act like she is trying. It can be frustrating. Before the trip, I bought her a very fancy Rapunzel nightgown and told her she could have it if she took good pictures all week. Yup, I'm that mom. She humored me, and did well, but she was not willing to have extended sessions with me and my camera. Juliet was happy to, though!
My new favorite picture of Jelly Belly Boo Boo.
Leah loved jumping in the puddles. She was quickly weighed down by the dress, and talked us into playing in her underwear.
Lucia came down one night to take pictures of the girls in their matching dresses from Auntie Renee. Then Leah showed her how fun it is to take the dress off and splash in the pools/streams/whatever else we called them.
I LOVE this shot! This is what being a kid on vacation is all about!
Miss Juliet, again, because she was the only one willing to "pose" for the camera!
