The life of Emma and Gretta

Ok, folks, get set for some pictures!! They're essentially in reverse... I just barely had time to put them all in, then I realized I was doing them in backwards order... oh well. We had a wonderful vacation!! The trip down was pretty good although it rained about 90% of the time. Despite a dreary forecast for the entire week, we actually had excellent weather all but one afternoon. We spent part of pretty much every day with Emma down at the sound side of the harbor of the neighborhood where the house is- several times we motored down to the beach in the boat. The sound is so shallow that even far out, it's still just about mid-thigh deep, and the water temperature is really nice. There is a sweet little beach there with beautiful trees draped in spanish moss, and a great playground! Each day, there was a little nakey time after swimming, to air everything out! You can see in a couple of pictures the little "Flintstones-mobile" we got for Emma- it provided a little shade and she loved floating around in it. She also absolutely totally enjoyed just being held and floating on the water- she would totally relax and zone out... it was too cool! We got to visit with tons of family on both sides, and really loved getting to see everyone! We just wish we could have stayed longer... :)
