Virginia Beach

This year our family celebrated the 4th of July in Virginia Beach. The Davis side of the family make an annual trek to Virginia Beach to enjoy the boardwalk, beach, fireworks and seafood. Tim and I haven't been there in years and thought this would be a perfect time to go back to experience the beach with Carys. Carys loved the ocean. She would crawl right in and would sit in the sand while the waves broke around her. She loved playing in the sand and people watching. It was really hard keeping her eating healthy on the trip. I guess that's what vacations are for...according to my sister-in-laws. One morning the only food Carys would eat for breakfast was chips. Now that is the sign we see the most. Right before we left for vacation, Carys started walking. We have been waiting for this milestone to happen. I had set a goal and prayed for her to start walking by vacation. God was listening and my prayers were answered! She walks everywhere and all the time. Her little legs have to be so tired. It's so amazing to see her develop from a 2 pound infant to a toddler that is walking.

Daddy, this is so fun!


I don't have this much sand at home.

The water isn't that cold, mommy.

Mmmmm...crab legs...can't wait 'til 3.

I love chips.

Just look at that little Bathing Beauty! She's just so much fun! We were happy to have EVERYBODY at the beach this year! Even with a glitch here and there it was a wonderful time for Tom and I to spend with our kids and grandbabes.
We are Beyond Blessed!
