Last Dance Class

 Today was Ella's last dance class for the year. Her dance recital is next week, and we are all so excited!! This morning she was in a silly mood, but I thought I would snap a few pictures to mark the day.

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

We got home just in time for dinner and a bit of play time. I brought out some window markers for the kids to play with to make our return home special (sometimes it can be hard to leave the beach). I think it did the trick!

Not sure that this is how one should play with these markers...

...but cute nonetheless!

Then we had to make a paper chain to count down the days until our next beach trip. We will rip a ring off each day, and soon we will be back to our beach-bum ways!

Swimming at Night

Another beach tradition is swimming at night with Daddy. Ella and Jason have been doing this for the last couple of years; I know Colin will love going when he is old enough.

Such a cute picture! (Can you tell she has been learning a lot in dance class? She loves the dance poses!)

Ella was in the picture mood and wanted me to take pictures of her poses:)

Handsome Men

The boys are ready to go out for pizza on our last night of vacation.

I love this! So funny!

Venturing Out

Finally on our last day on the beach, Colin decided to brave walking on the sand. Each day it took him a while to warm up to playing in the sand, but he still insisted on sitting on the blanket and reaching into the sand. However, on our last day he decided he could venture off the blanket and walk around. He had a lot of fun playing in the sand with Ella. And I thought they looked so cute in their sunhats.

More Fun in the Sun

Pool Time

These two were quite the pair today

Ready to go out to dinner

Let's Go Fly a Kite

Cutest. Pictures. Ever.

After all of that flying, she was all tangled up:)

What a cutie!
