It's so much easier splitting this into days! On Tuesday, it was the most perfect day we could have imagined waking up to. We spent from morning 'till night on the beach & only came back to the house for a quick lunch. Kennedy did wonderful w/ the long days & took 2 naps a day out on the beach under an umbrella (which we expected due to only 1 nap normally @ home on regular schedule pulling normal hrs.). We didn't have to go in off the beach a single day just for her to get her nap in. What a blessing she was the entire wk.!
After a full day in the sun, we took a dip in the pool, showered up, & grilled out w/ the other 3 couples @ our beach house. We had a lot of fun getting to know the other couple better and stuffing our faces together! After dinner, all 4 couples changed into somewhat "matching" clothing (per family) & rushed down to the beach for some pictures @ sunset. Jon & Emily offered their services in photographing each family on the beach @ dusk, and we truly enjoyed making wonderful memories together during our little "shoot" in the sand. We even had a little fun after dark playing around w/ the flash too!
