Day one at the beach and Maddi is dressed and ready. It was a long ride about 7 hours, we had 2 vehicles. One with the boys and one with the girls. I woke Maddi up early anticpating her sleeping most of the way. No such luck, that little girl stayed wide eyed and bussy tailed the whole way down, that is until we were about 15 minutes from our condo. I can't complain she rode very well, we just had to listen to Dora the whole way!!!!
We didn't know what to expect about Maddi and the beach? Much to our surprise she LOVES it!
She was very eager to go out into the waters and our Courtney was happy to oblidge. We are working on Courtney's name, Maddi insist on calling her Horney. Although cute, it doesn't sound too good in public when people don't know us. Ellie calls her Coco, but Maddi won't. It's getting better, we have progressed up to Korney. It will have to do for now!
Look who we spotted on the beach.... It's David Hasselhoff. They were shooting an upcoming scene for Baywatch!!!
The boys are happy to be here. They both got to bring a friend and we also brought Zach, Veronicia's brother to help entertain and to take the boys to the track and all that fun stuff that we don't necessarily like to do. We LOVE Zach!!!!!!!
This is Hunter and his friend Tyler. You'll grt to see more of them later I promise.
Corney and Maddi have settled in. Maddi could live on the beach. I was so surprised at how much she loves it. The sand, the water, the sun, she loves it all!!!
I couldn't resist this picture. Don't I have the cutest nieces. All of them. I can't believe I have5 nieces and 2 nephews. I can remember a time when I wondered if I would have any. My cup runneth over.
These 2 are a card together. When Ellie sees Maddi she starts yelling MADDI MADDI like she is so happy to see her. I love that. Ellie prefers the pools to the beach so our time out here together is precious. They could hear every plane and point out every bird.
Take a look at these two! Girls, Girls, Girls, it's a vacation, put down the cell phones!!!! Don't you love it and check out Katelyn she can text while holding Maddi's Dora thermos. Multitaskers, do we know to pick them or what!!!!

Have a FANTASTIC rest of your vacation!
It's so good to hear from you! Thanks for the beach report and the pics. What a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends!
I love the beach. We used to go every year with my parents, from the time our oldest boy was a baby. We haven't been for a coupla years, though. Our boys have been taking summer college courses and working...ugh.
Have a great time...just remember not to stay down there this time! LOL
Thank you Staci - love the pics of Maddi - especially when she is ready to go to the beach - her pose is precious - enjoy the surf and sand for me here in St. Louis. Still believing in all that is Jake and what he taught me. You are right, your cup runneth over with wonderful family, babies, baby sitters and friends. You all deserve the blessings - somebody up there loves you!
Maddi is just precious! I know she is having a good time at the beach. Thanks for taking the time while on vacation to do an update. We miss not hearing from you. Enjoy your beach time!

We are big Dora fans too. I don't think my 2 year old ever gets enough.
