Beach Week

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!
