Beach Trip Day One:

My Dad was going on a fishing trip for the weekend, I had the weekend off, so my Mom and I decided to take a girls trip to the beach. Just us four girls. It was so much fun and I am so thankful my Mom was there to help with the girls and help to entertain them. One of the main reasons we went was my recent diagnosis - tension headaches not migraines at all. So, I've been ordered to relax and take it easy.
I had a voucher for a 2 day rental of chairs so I was determined to USE it. So, we spent both days on the beach as much as possible.

 Emmalee loved the ocean. But she wanted to jump (as in me dead lift her) over every wave. My biceps definitely got a work out and I'm sure her arms got stretched an extra 2 inches or more.

 Building sand castles:
 Emma napped on the beach, under the shade of our umbrella.
 I am in love with this photo. Can you see it? The heart in the clouds over the beach??? I guess it describes my heart exactly, it belongs at the beach. 
 That afternoon we went on the Pirate Cruise. It ended up being a lot pricier than we had originally planed on, but the girls had a lot of fun and it made it totally worth it. 
(Plus we off set it with dinner at Burger King, instead of a yummy local seafood joint.)


They had water gun fights,

 dancing with pirates,
 sword fights,
  
they brought up a cannon ball jelly fish that we spotted close to the boat,
they also spotted dolphins, found a buried treasure and hauled it in by rope, were allowed to share in the loot in the chest, got tattoos, played limbo, and fired soft cannon balls. It was a FULL two hour cruise. Annagrace has been obsessed with pirates this past year so she was totally thrilled by this cruise. And Emmalee quite enjoyed herself as well. 
I have videos of a lot of the activities, but will have to post those later.
