the beach the beach the wonderful beach!

our vacation was a wonderful week of perfect weather and blissful relaxation! i want to go back today!!!! the kids loved the beach - the sand, the water, the animals, everything! rhett and i loved watching them play and enjoying it with them.

some highlights:

marie sticking her finger into and tasting the sand. over and over again.

the first time emily jane saw the beach and the sand: "mommy! look at all this...this...snow!!! it's everywhere!! there's so much snow!"

eben: "momma!! i just petted a glass fish! it came right up to me! it wasn't fake or dead - it swam right up to me and i touched it and it swam away! a real glass fish!"

marie pointing and yelling at the waves whenever they would come to "get" her.
