4th of July Vacation

This year for the 4th we took a little vacation to Chris's mom's timeshare on Ft. Myers Beach. We arrived on the 4th and Finley got to see her 1st Fireworks. She LOVED playing on the beach and in the ocean and sand. She also loved that she could step outside and decide between ocean, pool, or sand.



She did not even want to wait for us... here she is racing off to find the sand...

We love being out at the beach. It's so relaxing and beautiful. Chris and I have spent July 4th's there on and off since dating in high school so it's also nostalgic. We were thrilled to be able to bring Finley this year and let her enjoy the fun.

Dining "in" or "out"?! Well it's just perfect whatever it is.

Finley's 1st Fireworks Display... We weren't thinking she would stay awake for it, but she did (she was nearly asleep towards the end so we watched the finale from just outside our door). She loved watching all the kids do small "pre-show" fireworks almost more than the actual "big" fireworks. She loved it all though. She kept saying "BOOM BOOM!!"














It was a great time. She ended up getting a cold/fever and pretty bad diaper rash towards the end so we came home and checked in with the doctor a day early, but we had an awesome time.
