One of the most fun days we had in Alabama was on the beach! We all just LOVED it! Grandma was chilly and had to go back to the car early, but the rest of us had a blast and could not get enough of the fun! We wished we could have spend ALL day there--but Anika needed a nap!
*
We tried to have a picnic lunch on the beach, but with the little breeze each bit had sand in it--so we did not eat much!
*
*Anika really like picking up and touching the sand!
*
*
Marching--Marching Anika!
*
Here she is throwing a handful of sand!
*
I thought this picture was cool with the sand crane in the background!
*
Makadie wanted to jump in and play in the water! It was a bit too choppy for that!
*
So we let her sit on the bank and the water was able to splash up onto her feet! She LOVED this though!

* Makadie got a little surprised by the waves and got a bit wet! I was also sitting there with her with Anika on my lap--Anika did NOT appreciate the surprise like Makadie did. She was quite upset by the water splashing on her.
*
Group shot!! Makadie (a little wet from the large splashing waves), Roni, Anika, & Grandma Dottie!
*
She really wanted to get the sand OFF of her feet, she spent quite some time trying to do so. Luckily she finally gave up and continued playing!
*
The girls have fun playing together and digging and loading up their buckets!

Makadie and I made a sand fort--not quite a sand castle--but Makadie did not care! Here she is sitting in the middle of the "Castle".

*
Before we left she wanted to jump on the mounds of sand! So here are a few shots of the action!*

Anika and Grandma Dottie

She loved the water and the sand and the birds!
We had a wonderful day and all look forward to our next family outing to a beach and hope that Daddy-Coleman will be able to join us! Thanks Grandma Dottie for taking us to the beach and making the day so fun! We came home with a bag of sand and shells that we collected on the beach! The sky was overcast all day, but it was nice weather!

Anika also enjoyed climbing and riding on the back with her big Sister!
