Maddie's first time at the beach!!!!

My family booked a condo in Destin, Florida for a week and Les was able to come for about four days. Aunt Rae Rae flew in for a few days and Great Mawmaw and Great Pawpaw came to the beach too for a few days. It was a great trip despite the first two days we were dodging rain showers but hey we were there at the beach. We went out to lunch and played with Maddie during the rain showers. After the rain, the days were beautiful!! Maddie LOVED the beach so much. She didn't really understand what the sand was but then she began to play. :) She had so much fun playing at the beach. Take a look at all our pictures, sorry there are SO MANY!

Maddie's first time to touch the sand. Look at her face, she can't figure out what this stuff is but then she began to love it!

Our first family photo at the beach! We didn't get to stay long and play because it was about to rain again. :( But we stayed as long as we could!

Nana, Papa, Daddy, Momma and Maddie at the beach! ( Maddie started saying "Nana" too while we were at the beach...yeah!)

Ge-maw & Ge-paw with Momma & Maddie at the beach!

Our first walk on the beach which is fun because the sand is so nice and cold.

Maddie gets to feel the ocean, how fun!

Daddy & Maddie standing in the ocean.

Nana & Momma laying out in the sun to read while Moo is sleepin' upstairs with Gemaw and Gepaw. Daddy & Papa about to go brave the waves on their boogie boards.Oh Maddie gets a bite of a "cakester" cookie which she has never had before. GeMaw brought them and Maddie was lovin' them. Oh goodness.... Maddie & Momma playin' in the sand!

Just a quick family photo in the ocean water.

Just getting used to the water and sand at the beach on Maddie's first real day out in the sun!All the men in the umbrella of water falling at the baby pool area of our condo. What an awesome picture with the water falling!

Oh Nana & Papa jumped in the water falling too for a quick picture with Maddiemoo!

GeMaw and GePaw with Momma & Daddy and of course Maddiemoo at the Baytowne Wharf going out to eat. We enjoyed having them come and see us at the beach. We love you both!!

The next day, we went out to the beach for a beautiful day in the sun! :)

Aunt Rae Rae flew in to hangout at the beach with us. We are so glad she came too! She is such a great Aunt to Maddie. She plays with her in the sand and walks around the restaurants so we can eat. Because all Maddie wants to do is walk!!!

Nana & Papa bought Maddie a little pool for the beach so she was able to swim and play in the sand. She loved it and it made it more fun for us too!

What a wonderful time we had at the beach! Thank you Nana & Papa for everything you did to make Maddie's first time at the beach so special. Its such a family tradition for us and we hope to continue it for the years to come! We love you!
