Hanging at the pool


Ellie and Arly loved the pool! It was shallow and they could wade in. Perfect for learning to swim. Both girls' swimming skills improved so much while we were there.

Abby enjoyed crusing around in her turtle





Splash splash!


Little Mermaids!

Abby loved kicking in the water!

Jump, Ellie! You can do it!

It was a huge pool!

Eating out in Sandestin

We had a yummy supper at a 50's style diner. Abby got to enjoy her first taste of french fries!
Ellie & Arly

Mmmmmmmm!!! Ice Cream.

Happy Abby!

Three Cutie Pies!

Hitting the beach!

Beach Baby!


















Sandestin Resort!

The Sandestin Resort was absolutely beautiful! It has so much to offer -- beach, fun pools, lots of shops & restaurants (and Starbucks! Yay!) and best of all -- gorgeous views! It was total luxury. Ellie & Arly had several picnics out on the balcony. Abby tried her best to join them!
This fountain is called "The Fountain of Youth"

Hanging out in the Village one evening...


The live band invited the children up on stage to dance and play little instruments. Arly hopped right up on stage but Ellie was a little hesitant. She hung back with Tim and enjoyed the music.



Abby enjoyed the music, too!



The Village in the evening.



My little Barefoot Princess shopping at The Barefoot Princess!



The view from our hotel room. Our building was very similar.



Big giant chair! How fun!



Silly tourist photo



This is outside "Bark Avenue" an all-things-dog-related gift shop in the village. Ellie thought it was hilarious, even though we have two cats, no dogs.



Another view from our room! Spectacular golf courses and walking trails.

Our big beach vacation!


We just got back from a fantastic vacation in Sandestin with the Mize family! It was sooo fun! The girls did so well on the drive (7 hours each way!). They're quite the travelers!

Pulling Up!


Not only is Abby crawling ALL over the place, now she's pulling up! She's loving her new perspective on the world!
