the beach!

so we were in California for Aunt Corbynn's wedding, and there will be a more thorough post on that soon.   but the second reason we visited was to get some much needed beach time!  and while we did that, Jason's wildest dreams finally came true.  his girls were not afraid of the water, and loved bodyboarding!!!!

okay, so loved may be a little overboard where Madeline is concerned, but she did it.

 our little gidget!

 this little beach baby finally got over her fear of the sand!

 no one was around to take a picture of this, Avery loves to pick and pull at my face.  i think it is an expression of love. 

 love these high-fives!

 we did some shell collecting too.  each girl found many and we will be using them in some crafts soon.  any ideas?
