The Beach

We had a great time on our trip to Florida.  It was really nice to spend quality time with my parents, especially my dad.  For those of you who don't know, my dad has cancer and stopped treatment about a year ago.  His tumor is growing rapidly and things seem to beginning to decline more rapidly than before.  Matt and I decided that we needed to take every opportunity to spend time with him while he is well still.

So we used our southwest airlines rewards and the girls and I flew out there.  We were there 8 days.  The weather was pretty good for our trip.  We went to the beach 3 days, so instead of me trying to keep the beach trips separate, I decided to post on beach post...so here we go.

this is Cami's 3rd visit where we have gone to the beach.  She loves it!  She loves anytime she gets to be in the water.

The shelter worked out perfectly.  I got this when Cami was a baby, but never really used it.  It folds up and fit in my suitcase.  Needless to say it was perfect for our sweet Reese to hang out in and stay protected from the sun but not miss out on all the beach fun!

I had a hard time getting a picture of Cami's face she was so busy running and playing.  This is one of the few good ones!

Needless to say Cami and I came home with nice little tans.  The ocean was lovely and the weather was great.  We had a great time and it certainly was a special treat.
