Another beach reunion with Anne's family is in the books. Emilia had the time of her life. She wants to move to the Outer Banks - she thinks all of her cousins live there :). It was a great week. And when ALL of Emi's cousins were in one spot for a picture she absolutely didn't believe that they were all cousins!
 |
| Emi loves her some Nana! |
 |
| She thinks she was boogie boarding :) |
 |
| she would toss the ball into the waves and chase it as it came back - over and over :) |
 |
| Can't hold her own water bottle...hands just too darn sandy. |
 |
| Anne's view most mornings...Emi had her own bed but ours was more comfortable I guess. |
 |
| Jumping waves |
 |
| Fascinated by crabs...but not willing to get to close. |
 |
| Checking out the beach after hurricane Arthur. |
 |
| With a couple of her favorite cousins - Elizabeth and Lucy. |
 |
She had so many questions about Aunt Ali and her baby.
"Did Aunt Ali eat a baby mommy? Is the baby just sleeping in there? I wish I had a baby in my tummy." |
 |
| Literally moments after we pulled away from the beach house. Cousins are exhausting. |
 |
| She never went more than ankle deep in the ocean, but when we visited my sister who lives on the Chesapeake Bay (much smaller waves) she was very daring! |
 |
| Ready for fireworks. This is the first year she enjoyed them. |
 |
| {{{Love her!}}} |
 |
| How we found Emi the morning we left my sister's house. |
 |
| Food on a stick - life is good! |
