Beach

We just got home from the beach last night. We went with Grant's family to the coast for a family vacation and had a great time!

We had quite the set up! Grant and his brother would set up tents for us every day so we would have shade and we kept all the food and coolers in the trailer. It was really nice. Someone commented that we all looked like ants. The men all got out and started putting up the tents while the women were corralling the kids and making sure they all had sunscreen on. Everyone had their jobs. I'm not sure what part Bella liked best about the sand. Playing in it or eating it. We were so fortunate because Bella just started sitting up by herself for extended periods of time the week before we left so we didn't have to worry about her falling over.
Most days Bella didn't get one of her naps, but this day we lucked out and she fell asleep accidentally.
It's amazing how much fun an empty bottle can be. She liked to pretend she was drinking it like the rest of us.

I couldn't get Bella to go near the water the first day, but Grant got her in the second day. She wasn't sure about the waves and I don't blame her. They could really sneak up on you and catch her pretty high.
Family photo on the last day. We had a hard time getting Bella to wear her sunglasses. She enjoyed chewing on them much more.

All of the cousins were great with Bella! They all played with her and wanted to hold her and gave her lots of attention (I'm going to be in trouble this week by myself). Henley was our little babysitter. She would sit with Bella on the bed while I would get our things ready for the beach or while I took a shower after we got back.
Grant's birthday was Saturday before last so we had a little celebration while the family was all together. The kids all made Grant cards and his dad gave him this hilarious one.
