Well, we made it and immediately hit the beach.
The next morning, Marissa found some seashells and McKane found some sand dollars. They were showing off their finds during lunchtime.
Riese and Allie were there to see all their cool beach treasures!
McKane telling her about the seashells...
which was apparently very funny....I love this picture:)
Allie took a little break after lunch to watch a movie.
After naps, it was back out on the beach for some more fun!
"Mommy, my hands are dooooty!"
Riese was so sweet to play with Marissa and help her dig in the sand. They had so much fun together!
Sweet friends!
Sweet friends!
Building sandcastles and spraying them with colored water...they loved the squirt bottles and changing the sand different colors!
Another day on the beach....taking a water break! Thank goodness for the wonderful sea breeze because it was HOT.
Allie l.o.v.e.d McKane. She didn't stray far from his side the entire time and he was so sweet to her:)

He showed off his skimboarding skills for us one day...which were very impressive!
Check out those moves!
Marissa took the boat out for a little ride! She was not scared at all of the ocean!
Me with my sweet girls!
Mr. Cooper...who has grown up so fast!!
So, Allie got a little embarassed when I told her to take a picture with McKane, so instead, she put a plastic fish in her mouth and made a silly face. McKane thought it was funny:) Silly, silly girl.
The girls. :)
My girls.
Surfer chick. She did this for about an hour one day. She had the surfer pose perfected!
Riding the waves ;)
jumping on her board.....
which didn't always turn out the way she hoped.....
But she always came up smiling:)
This was probably her favorite thing to do...

Posing with her "surfboard"
Digging in the sand was just fine with Allie...she had a blast!
After our baths one night, we went out on the porch to eat a popsicle and watch the sunset...which was the perfect end to a perfect day:)
Sisters watching the sunset together.
Not sure what's going on here...but they look so sweet together:)
The sunsets are gorgeous:)
After a few days with the Johnson family, we headed across Florida to Jacksonville to visit The Martin family, some of my most favorite people in the world! They have two sweet blonde-headed babies, JP who is 5 1/2 and Reagan who is 1 1/2. The kids played so well together and we had a great time! We went to Ponte Vedra beach one day...here are the 3 older kiddos.
Marissa loved to jump the waves!
Headed out to the beach:)

Little sisters were more interested in playing in the sand!
Still running...she looks so old to me in this picture! My baby is getting so big.....
Action shot!
Allie being silly, what a surprise:)
JP and Marissa chasing each other...they were the best of buds by the end of this trip :)
There was also a pool nearby that had a very cool water slide that the bigger kids got to try out...Marissa would have done this all day long if she could....and she did so great!! She slid into the deep end and swam all the way to the shallow! I'm so proud of her swimming skills these days! If you look to the right of the picture, you can see that JP was waiting for her just to make sure she made it out ok :)
Swimming!!!
and still sliding!
Unfortunately, Allie was too little to slide...so she had to watch from the sidelines...
but she didn't seem to mind to much:)
After a long, fun day at the beach, everyone was pooped. Time to relax and watch a movie:)
