Florida

This time McKay came down with us to Florida.  We spent most of the time relaxing at the pool, hanging out with Grammy and Papa, and going to the beach.  The gulf water was warm and perfect for a toddler especially because there is no waves.  The first thing Ellie did when she reached the water was to bend down and taste it. haha.  Her face was priceless but unfortunately that picture didn't turn out.  

 I'm pretty sure it was because of the attention she was getting but Ellie loved eating the sand.  We would all tell her "ewwww" and "yucky" but that only made her do it more.  It got to a point where you could tell that she didn't like it but kept doing it for the attention.  haha.

 She also tried to touch the sunbathers with her sandy hands. 

Back at the house I proved myself a skilled critter catcher by nabbing one of these little guys.  They are fast, but I am faster. 

Ellie is petrified of these fountain things at the pool.  She hates them.  Her face glazes over and her hands start shaking, very similar to that windup chick.

It was a very fun vacation!
