Beach Birthday

For Emerson's first birthday we decided to take a beach trip, we've lived in AL for almost 5 years and haven't gone to the beach and besides, what better excuse than a first birthday! I found a great place online, right across the street from the beach, it was so easy, if we forgot something it was a two second run back to the house, it worked out great! Emerson absolutely loved the water, she thought the waves were great, but unfortunately she was not a big fan of the sand, and you can't really get away from it at the beach!
Her first feel of the sand, and she's not a big fan!

She loved being "down" but didn't like that stuff that stuck to her

The best of both worlds, she's down and not in the sand.



Some nice gentleman stopped and took our photo

The ever so famous "self" family portrait!

The beach birthday cake, she didn't want any part of

Oh, I could just smooch on her. Little lover girl. What a fun day!
I just realized how close your kids are going to be. You will have so much fun.

It was nice to see your dad and sis yesterday even though it was for the funeral.

I'm CRAZY jealous! I wish I could have had a beach birthday! It looks like you had a blast, and Emerson is adorable!
