Fun at the Beach!

**Warning...LOTS of pictures**

We had such a fun, relaxing time at the beach! We played in the sand, in the ocean and at the pool. It had been last summer since Hallie had been swimming, so she was a little slow in jumping right in the pool--much different from last summer. But after about 5 jumps of holding onto Daddy's hands, she was back to being fearless. I bought matching swimsuits for the 3 girls and they were SO cute in them. After we got home, I realized I didn't even get a picture of all 3 girls in the cutie-pie swimsuits! Hattie Grace had quite an aversion to the beach and well, Abby and Hallie did not. So it would have been hard to get all 3 of them in a shot anyway!

Hattie Grace didn't mind the boardwalk...but
hated the beach!

Hallie was writing her name in the sand...
she was saying "H...L...H...L" :o)

Daddy built little sandcastles for Hallie to smash!
She LOVED doing this!

I wonder what their little minds were thinking...

It was extremely cold this particular day!

Someone didn't want to leave the beach to go
inside for lunch! :o)
