We went to Grayton Beach with Dan's extended family last week. It was H-O-T, but we were blessed to have a house right on the beach with a pool!
It took Lydia a few days to warm up to the sand and waves, but she was really enjoying it by the end of the week. Other things she enjoyed were her Uncle Ben (she has a huge crush on him and preferred him to both me and dan!), ice cream sandwiches, and cousins Grant and Sydney.
Lydia wasn't really a water girl before we went to Florida. She didn't even really like bath time. But she saw this pool and had to jump in! By the second day she was jumping into daddy's arms, dunking her head, and flying up in the air. Dan is thrilled to have a pool lover!
As with most family gatherings, it was the food that brought us together! On the nights we ate it, Ben did all the cooking! We had spaghetti night, taco night, and seafood night. Ben doesn't do anything half way, all the meals were amazing...my favorite was the marinated grilled shrimp.
In a family picture attempt, we took some shots with the water in the background. Ladies, you know this means the wind was blowing my fair towards the front of my face. I wish it would have stopped for just one second! We did get some cute shots though!
