Reading her books at 11:30 PM at Granny's house. She did not want to sleep after we arrived in New Jersey!
The next morning before heading to the shore house.
E collected acorns all week.
I love hydrangea's and thought these were so pretty
I love this picture so much! Elle wanted to WALK, not ride in her stroller, on the boardwalk!

We just got back from an excellent vacation in Ocean City, NJ. We got to spend lots of time with my mom (Gigi), Rich, Bonnie, my nephew Aidan, Granny, and lots of cousins and aunts and uncles. Elle and Granny had never met and they sure hit it off. They played every morning since we were the early risers. She would read to E and sing Old McDonald (E's new favorite song!) and Elle would say "E I E I"...we are still working on the "O"! The weather was not that great but I'll take it now that I am back in the 100 plus degree heat. It is awful here in Dallas!! I never get used to it! Back to the shore....
We went to the beach a couple of times and Elle just loved the water. She just plopped right down in the water and started splashing away. The water was 65 degrees so I was not too fond of getting wet but I did it for my little girl. We even went out to where the itty bitty waves were and jumped a few. She is such a daredevil. She was pushing my hand off of hers as to say "let me go women!!"
She loved hanging out with our cousins. She was the youngest, by a couple of years, and it was a little sad to watch her try to be part of the group. She, at one point, was standing in the background while they were all playing outside and was acting as if she were in their conversation and laughing every time they laughed. Hysterical! They were all very sweet to her and I totally understand the whole "we don't want to play with a baby" scenario. I was the worst about it when I was little.
It was hard to say goodbye but we can not wait to see everyone again! I hope it is not another several years from now!

We had so much fun! I loved watching Elle taking it all in, enjoying herself, learning new things and being so cute and funny. She is a doll. Miss you lots!
Looks like Y'all had so much fun. Elle is as cute as can be. As hot as it is here in Austin and being 9months pregnant, I would love a dip in the cold water :)
I am glad you had such a good time- though a little jealous that I didn't get to join you this time. Elle just gets cuter and cuter- and she's growing up so fast. I bet Aden and Abram would have loved to have been there to play with her.
