My Rylee: First Trip To The Beach

At the spur of the moment on Sunday, we packed everything up and headed for the beach, Daytona Beach to be specific. We've been wanting to take Rylee there and never have really gotten around to doing so. We packed up the tent, chairs, radio, cooler, towels, and blanket and were off.... Rylee slept the whole way there, which was great because she was ready to go once we got there! It was fun to watch her 'people watch' as we drove down the beach searching for a parking spot. It was really crowded there!

This was the first shot I took of Rylee right when we got there and she was taking it all in... Rylee was lent this dress from Miss Sara and it was the dress that her little Caitlyn wore the first time she went to the beach, I found it fitting and a cute little memory to have... Rylee just loves Caity and looks up to her.

I got Rylee in her suit, I thought it would be cute to put her in a two piece, most of her suits are one piece suits, but I thought the matching hat combo would be super cute... Rylee was not a fan of the sand touching her feet and didn't know what to think of it at first. She started to get her sad lip and started to cry a bit... we had to show her how fun sand could be...

We pulled out the shovels, and buckets, and all the sand toys, we also brought her bubbles along too... We started to build sand castles in the sand and all she wanted to do was to tear them down, LOL.... She instantly broke her fear of the sand and didn't mind it too much after that.... It was cute however, to see how she reacted when it was all over her hands, she didn't know how to wipe it off... soo cute!

after the sand fun, we of course hit the water.... Our little water bug was on cloud nine. She LOVED the ocean! Her favorite part would be when the waves retracted and you can feel all the sand moving beneath your feet. She loved the waves and all the splashing. We jumped the waves with her. She just wanted 'more more more'. She tried to taste the water a few times, licking her lips and hands, but we told her 'no', and several times the waves would really move her around and push her over, but she never was upset or bothered, mostly just laughed at everything. She found the birds on the beach soo fascinating. She would chase after them and point to them. She was pretty much excited and happy about everything. You could really tell that she really enjoyed herself.... Here are some shots of the water fun...

.....and one of all of us girls! Rylee was telling Haylee that we were at the beach, LOL

oh, and one more thing....... Rylee would like to show you some pictures of her baby sister. She got to watch baby Haylee on the monitor during our 4D ultrasound and she was such a good girl and behaved soo well.
