Seagrove Beach ...we LOVE 30-A!!!

I kept thinking I'd have time to come back and put all these pictures in order and it just hasn't happened, so in an effort to not wait until Christmas to post our beach pics, here they are! 

Lauren was like Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde about the beach...either loved it or hated it!  The first afternoon there after a LOOONG and ummm stressful car ride (you people who's kids will watch tv and chill in the car...please just know how good you have it!) we took her down to the waves and she had an absolute blast...running in the waves and laughing and loving it.  Then the next day...not so much...it was bizarre.  We finally resorted to bribery getting her down there!  Luckily she's pretty cheap to bribe - getting to drink out of her own water bottle and getting to eat whole apples did the trick!  We were definitely thankful that we were staying right on the beach so it was easy to go in and out and that there was a pool only a short walk away too that was always a hit. 

Having fun on the beach one evening (notice the water bottle bribery in hand!)

Picking flowers in Seaside.  Lauren loved picking "pretty flowers" on our walks to the pool too and always made sure Mommy got one too!

 

Run Run Run JUMP!!!

Loving her own chair and water!

Having fun eating breakfast outside with Daddy

She loves coloring now...and it will definitely keep her occupied for quite a while!

I think this may have been the day that made her not so sure about the beach.  She would say - "I no like the green stuff!"

More running and jumping with Mommy and Daddy!

Proof that when she loved the waves she really really did!!!

On a date in Seaside with Jack-bear :-) 
Going on vacation with good friends is the way to go!!  We had so much fun all hanging out and definitely loved getting to trade off some date nights!! 

The 4 of us in Seaside :-)

On the very last day Lauren finally decided to check out the little pool on the beach that Jack had been loving all week long, and what do ya know, she loved it too!!!  They had a blast jumping and splashing eachother...so fun to watch :-)

The view from our deck...it was perfect!

And view from the beach of where we stayed! 

More pretty flowers :-)
