That’s Alotta Watah!

June 30, 2011 by Elaine

So… we spent some time at the ocean during the last week.

It was just as awesome as it looks.

I wanna go back.  And stay.

p.s. sorry for SO many pics but I just couldn’t resist!  I mean WATER, the same week we went to the beach! SCORE!

p.p.s. I coulda posted more…

p.p.s.s. taught myself how to use the self-timer on my camera for that last shot. 🙂

    I love them! I can’t wait to get to the beach.
    I love the one with the baby playing with all of the sand toys, it’s so colorful and pretty!
