Our family just returned from our annual beach trip. For the past 3 years Josh and I have gone to Ocean Isle Beach for vacation with my parents, my brothers family and his wife's parents. It has always been a fun and relaxing time but this year it was especially fun because this year we got to take our daughter with us! I remember last year enjoying our time at the beach with our niece and nephew but feeling a little depressed knowing that it could be a long time before we had our own child on a beach trip with us. But as we all know God decided to bless us tremendoulsy and surpass what we thought our timeline would be and this year we were blessed to take our 7 month old baby girl to the beach with us!
We all had a great time at the beach. Raegan really enjoyed visiting with her cousins on the trip. It will be fun to see her grow up with her cousins. Raegan really enjoyed swimming in the pool at the beach house and even though we didn't go to the beach very often on this trip ( it was rougher than normal on the beach due to the hurricanes) she seemed to enjoy looking at the waves. We had a birthday party for big cousin Jack, watched as the kids played "dress up", took lots of pictures and enjoyed our time as a family!
While we were away Raegan also perfected some new "talents". She now clearly waves "hi" and "bye", blows raspberries, feeds herself cheerios and has 3 clear words in her arsenal, "hi", "da da" and "woof". We all enjoyed watching as Raegan showed off her talents for all of us!
We had a great time on vacation. And while we were sad to see such a great week come to an end, it was also good to return home and see Kona ( Raegan was especially excited about this). It's sad that vacation won't come for another year and summer is officially over, but we are looking forward to the fall, the holidays and seeing what else this year brings us. I have attached a link to a slideshow of beach pictures below ( i am working on figuring out how to add the slideshow directly to my blog but haven't quite gotten there yet!)
