More Ocean Pictures!

Ok - so I know there are a bunch of ocean pics and posts, but we took a lot and I love so many of them! I will only do one more after this, but I figured - hey - this blog is really for Lily, so I want to put the memorable ones on here. Bear with me if you're getting bored (mom, dad, grandma and the 6 friends that probably read the blog!) We've done a lot since the trip so I'll be posting newer things soon!


How are you doing there, Mr. Duck?

Action shot of Lily in the ocean.

Lily checking out the menu. Carrots, squash or green beans???


View of the beach from our hotel restaurant.

Notice she has the fingers in her mouth just like at dinner. Is she teething?! Well, we've been saying that for months now! Fussy? Oh, must be teething. Nose running? Yep, gotta be teething. :)

While she didn't get a taste of oyster, we did let her have the lemon.

I *heart* oysters.

After dinner we walked across the street to watch the sunset over the bay.

Sunsets happen every day, yet they never get old.

Mother, Mother Ocean, I Have Heard You Call...

Lily maxin' and relaxin'.

A little bit of seaweed on the beach this morning!

Happy as a clam.

She loved it when the water rushed over her.

My sand pail!

Yummmm, sand! We caught it just in time.

Sippy cup in a koozie.

Gotta keep the water cold too!

This is where she'd sit and splash and "dive" in on the count of 3.

Practicing her synchronized swimming move.

Who could forget about the turtle? Certainly not Lily!

Lily with her "frog"as I always mistakenly call it - and then Greg chimes in with, "you mean, turtle!?"

Ready to go to dinner? No, we can't bring the turtle too.

Walking back on the beach after dinner we saw a wedding party.

Lily helping dad look for shells.

Family shot.

Feeding her a bottle by the pool after dinner.

Such a good dad. And Lily thinking, "that's all for today folks..."

Lily Loves Her Turtle

First Time in the Ocean!

First morning at the beach - view from the room!


She finds the most random things interesting...like the headboard!

Crashing waves - oh my!

What do you think Lil'?

Weeeeeeeee!

Tiny toes in the ocean.

Ahhhhh the view.

Lily getting used to it.

Perfect spot for a baby swing!

She loved the fountain outside the room.

Super big chair in the lobby.

Pink cheeks from the sun! She bathed in SPF 50 all week...

Such a happy little girl.

My toes!

The view.

Down our boardwalk to the other pool.

View of the tiki huts and hammocks on the beach.

After my morning run I'd reserve the first cabana of the day.

Morning #2 - time to hit the beach!

The turtle did well in the ocean. The waves weren't rough at all the first couple days and then they were barely little swells the rest of the trip. Everyone said it was like swimming in a lake.

About to kiss the turtle.

Sucking on the pineapple from our drink.

Such concentration.

Bath time!

One last hug for the turtle before bed.

BIG yawn! Time for bed.
