Great times

As I said before, we had a great time with Brian's family.  Annabella loved riding Gramma and Grampa's pony, and playing until she couldn't play anymore.

 

  

 

AB sported a cute yellow jacket dress (a gift from Gramma) to support her favorite team on game day.

 

 

Then, Bradley came over to play.  Annabella and Bradley had fun zooming around the house (Annabella pushing her push toy and Bradley pushing a toy shopping cart).  It made for a few traffic jams in the kitchen.

 

And finally, each day ended (and probably began) with a golf cart ride.  Annabella says "ride", which means "take me to the golf cart, pronto".  She enjoys seeing the big dogs, the moon, and waving at every person and car.  It is definitely a favorite.

 

Here are a few more pictures from the beach:

Gran and Gramps got Annabella her very own beach chair.  She tried it out in the condo before we headed to the beach. 

 

 

Besides playing in the sand and water, AB spent her time zooming around the condo.

 

Go, Annabella, Go!

 

 

She also liked to wear her sunglasses all the time. . . even while eating. 

One of my dad's favorite memories from the beach is watching Annabella eat dinner with her sunglasses on and bopping her head/body to some music that was playing.  She's such a silly goose.

 

Brian and I went on Dolphin/Sunset Cruise with Paul and Laurie. 

Laurie orchestrated the evening, and it was awesome.

 

 

The dolphins were beautiful, the boat was fun, the water was gorgeous. . .

 

 

. . . and the sunset was stunning.

 

 

Ahhhh, the beach.

 

Thanks, Gramps and Gran, for a wonderful vacation!

 

 

Then, we headed north to meet our new niece!

 

Alexandra (Lexi) Kate is a beauty.  Brian was just a little bit happy to be holding her. :)

 

 

Annabella wasn't too excited about her Momma holding another baby, but she did like trying to touch sweet Lexi. 

I can already tell they're going to be great friends.

 

AB got some playtime in with Bradley, too.  We couldn't forget to give the awesome big brother some attention.

 

 

It went by too fast, and I wish we had a week of vacation every month.  Ahhhh, relaxation with family and fun in the sun.
