Labor Day Beach Trip 2011

The week before Labor Day Jep, Lilah, Dread and I headed down to the beach for our first vacation as a family of four.

{Beach Bound!}

It was a great way to spend some quality time together before I headed back to work and Lilah started school. And, I love that we were able to be there for an entire week! We started the week off just the four of us and by mid-week Jep's family and my mom joined us.

The weather was BEAUTIFUL for the first two days! And, the water was crystal clear and calm. We took Lilah down to the water one morning and while walking along the beach we saw dolphins, a small shark and huge stingray. Lilah is definitely a beach baby! She slept for most of the time we were down there (a large part of that could be that we set her sound machine to the ocean when she sleeps) and when she was awake we put her feet in the water and she just loved it.

Day 2 was another beautiful day so we headed back down to the beach to spend a little more time with or feet in the sand. Lilah couldn't wait for round 2 of fun in the sun! Well, fun in the shade in her case. :)




The rest of our crew started trickling in on Tuesday...

Lilah was christened on Friday down at the beach. See my post below for lots of pictures!

On Monday we did a little swimming. The weather was pretty rainy all day thanks to Tropical Storm Lee so the ocean was really wavy and we didn't want to have to bring ALL of our beach gear down only to pack it all back up in a sudden down pour . So, we decided to make it a pool day. I just knew Lilah would love it since she is such a water baby. The pool water was freezing so I only stayed in long enough to take this picture. Daddy stayed in with Lilah and she loved it so much she fell asleep! So precious! :)
