And of course a few of Stephie and the buddies. Stephie's favorite character is now Bert, probably because she can say his name the best!
Also, check out Stephie's necklace (stolen from Grandma Julie). Stephie discovered jewelry this week! Pretty!
Stephie's favorite part of sand-castle building is transporting and dumping the water bucket. Luckily, Mimi is always game to help out.
Oooofff! Water is heavy!
Also, Mommy, Daddy, and Stephie hit the buffet tonight for dinner and let the grandparents finally enjoy a leisurely dinner in peace. Ahhhh!
...Stephie joined back up with the Sesame Street gang for a nighttime parade around the grounds. Daddy and Stephie got to see everyone! Look, here's Elmo...
...Cookie (where's Stephie???)...
...Abby...
...Ernie...
...and Zoe again!
Can't wait for breakfast with the whole gang tomorrow morning!
...before joining Daddy in the hot tub.
Stephie apparently was born to play in the sand! Today she had lots of grandparent attention and help building (and destroying) her sand creations.
Stephie is having a blast with the Sesame Street crew. Last night there was a special Sesame Street show, and today Zoe and Grover showed up on the beach. More pictures of the Sesame Street gang on parade tomorrow!
Then we headed down the beach for some splashing in the waves...
...and horsey rides. Neigh!
Stephie hit the pool with Grandpa Allen...
...and the lazy river with Daddy. More water sports to come tomorrow!
...and luckily had lots of people to hang out with onboard the flight.
We'd been talking all week about the Sesame Street characters at Beaches, and look who was there to greet us when we got off the plane! Elmo and Cookie!
The ride to the resort was very pretty (but Stephie looks unimpressed!)...
...and Stephie wasted no time trying her first (virgin) strawberry daiquiri once we arrived.
"Waaa!!! Waaa!!!" Lots more swimming (and pictures) to come tomorrow!
