On our way to the pool...

Peekaboo!

Hallie loves to pull her blankets up over her face during her nap.

The "Grown Ups"

Elizabeth

Elizabeth LOVED her first beach experience! She played in the sand and went way out in the ocean with her parents!

Can I Walk on Him?

Sam didn't even notice his cousin's feet precariously close to him.

Out Like a Light

Sam didn't mind the sand at all.

Beach!

Hallie's first outing on the beach was very brief...as you can tell from her expression, she didn't love it. But we're hoping for a slightly more extended stay at the pool tomorrow!

Visit from James and Heather

James and Heather are in Destin this weekend, too. They came to meet Sam and Elizabeth (and to visit Hallie, of course).

Aunt Julie's Lap

Daddy's Shoes

Elizabeth and Hallie love their Nana!

Visit from the Bergs

The Heads (Iowa, Tennessee, and Alabama delegations) are on the way to the beach! Everyone stayed at our house Thursday and Friday, and the Bergs came by to meet Elizabeth and Sam (Mr. Berg is holding Sam in the last picture).
