Beach Trip!

Over Memorial Day we took a family trip to the beach with some of our friends!  This was my second time to the beach and Clara's first.  This time we went to Destin, FL.  The weather was great for the most part and the beach was beautiful!  Can't wait to go back with my friends!

We took lots of pictures of course!

Here's the entire group (almost)!  4 families - 8 adults and 8 kids.  Mom was glad that the kid coverage was one on one...

Here's what I did a lot of at the beach - relaxing and playing with my trucks.  I did go out into the ocean with Dad one time though and we had fun jumping waves!  Mom and I jumped over some when they came up and hit our feet!

And here's what Clara did most of the time at the beach - stay in the shade!  She did get her feet wet in the ocean a couple of times though.

Fun in the sand and sun (or tent to block the sun in Clara's case)!

The house we stayed at had a pool so we hung out there in the afternoons after nap time.  I made a new friend on the trip! 

We had a noodle war in the pool!

Clara had fun at the pool too!

Here's the house we stayed in - it was pretty nice!  I enjoyed all the balconies and ate as many meals as I could outside - even if it meant I had to eat by myself!

The living room had a big couch that was perfect for running on!

And it was big enough to fit all 8 kids for a picture!

Here's Clara with most of the girls on the trip!

Relaxing on the balcony!

More relaxing on the balcony!

All 4 of us shared a room but Clara and I each had out own beds.  But somehow we all ended up in the same bed in the morning!  We took an evening walk to check out the rest of the houses in the neighborhood - Clara's first time riding like a big girl in the stroller - no carseat!

 On our last day we went to a fun park for a little bit.  I rode the airplane ride all by myself!  It even went up high and I didn't get scared at all!
