We had SUCH a fantastic week at Oak Island this year! We go every year with my family and this year was EXTRA special because Lexi was actually able to enjoy playing out on the beach! We were there from Saturday to Saturday and it was amazing. I wasn't sure how Lexi would do with the sand but she did GREAT! She loved running around on the beach and playing in the water. Every time she would fall or get wet sand on her hands she'd want to go and wash them off in the water. We had so much fun with her. She was such a joy to be around all week! Be warned: LOTS OF PICTURES!
Logan and Hailey did a great job playing with Lexi and reading to her.
Being outside on the porch was one of Lexi's favorite places! She loved pushing the swing and swinging and rocking in the rocking chair. Every time she would get in the rocking chair she would say "BABY!" and want us to sing "Rock-a-bye Baby".
Dad and Karen got Lexi this super cute bathing suit (and the black and white hat) for her birthday and it fit her PERFECTLY this summer! She was adorable in it!
We had Lexi hold our hands when she was standing in the water because she's so petite (but so brave!). She kept wanting to go further and not hold our hands. Seems like she has her Daddy's no-fear!
Logan and Hailey had a good time digging little pools for her too. She didn't really know what to think!
Lexi and Grandma taking a walk and looking for shells!
She loved taking these buckets and collecting shells. She mainly liked collecting the rocks. Who knows why!
We tried to get some pictures after dinner a couple nights. Lexi was clearly not interested in taking a family photo.
She just wanted to push the swing.
Here are the pictures from my iphone from the week also...
Another family tradition is playing games each night. We played Tenzi with the whole family (kids included) and played A Book and a Run card game pretty much every night also. My aunt took the record for the highest AND lowest score for that game. We always have a blast together! Too bad I'm awful at documenting game nights and just time when we hang out!
Loved some late walks on the beach. Although Lexi always wanted to go into the water or toward the dunes. She's independent!
Just to reminisce... here are some beach pictures from last year! Crazy the difference a year makes!
