Florida 2011{The Beach}

Our last day in Florida was the warmest one yet so we decided to make a trip out to the beach. Elena had been asking "When do we get to go to the beach?" pretty much the whole trip. This would be Chanel's first time at the beach and in the ocean. She was a little hesitant at first but then didn't mind the water...

...then she decided she just wanted to chill on the blanket or in the sand the rest of the time.


The cutest dog came over and wanted to play fetch with the ball he brought with him. Elena was in heaven throwing the ball and watching the dog get all excited about it. She is a natural born beach-goer. She even tried to ride a wave with the body board. I'm bummed I didn't get pictures of that:(

It was such a great trip. We were able to do and see pretty much everything we wanted to. We are so glad we were able to spend time with family. Especially since we only see them every few years or so. Thanks to all the fam in FL for great memories!
