vacation

We had the BEST time on our vacation. We started the trip with our friends, the Hage's, and then we had some time with just our family, and we finished off the vacation with my family. It was beyond wonderful for us to have so much time together... just relaxing, no connection to the outside world {except for when we tuned in to watch the bachelorette, of course}.
what fireworks? they had too much fun playing in the back of the car.
the little burger shack has the most amazing strawberry ice cream.
i may have indulged in it once or twice...or four times.
the girls loved the water! it took finley a little while to work up the nerve to swim on her own.
once she did, we couldn't keep her away from the water.
pretty good self-timer shot, if i do say so
i love how pale the baby stayed. i was a sunscreen psycho!
adalaide was so easy going. she napped at the beach, poolside, in the car, and in the stroller.
our big girl went down the water slides all by herself. she was quite proud!
finley wanted to wear this dress the entire trip. i drew the line when she suggested sleeping in it.
i'm not a huge fan of purple, but i might become one. i love the way adalaide's skin/eyes look in this outfit!
waiting for her turn on the jet ski
tuckered out on the way home


here's a few videos, and you can check out some more pictures in the online album.
can't get enough of this laugh!

that photo of finley in her water wings looking out at the water is a 'to frame' for sure. So sweet. What are you editing your photos with? They look amazing. Or maybe it is just you mad photography skills. Anyway, you do a great job and I want your secrets!

Your girls are so precious. I love your family photo and I second what everyone says, your pictures are so beautiful. You have such a good eye and I LOVE the coloring.
