Last month we were at the beach...

I don't think that I ever posted any pictures of us at the beach, but at the end of last month, we went to the beach. We take this vacation with Mark's family every summer and LOVE IT! We drive to South Carolina with a wonderful stop in North Carolina to visit the Fam and drop off the dog. My mom insists that we bring her the dog so that we'll stop at her house on both directions of our drive...smart girl...but she doesn't know that we'd leave that little puppy if we needed to get home...just kidding doggie!

Ava really loved the beach. She loved the waves (bubbles) and the shells. She actually threw an Ava sized fit when we tried to take her out of the (toddler sized) crashing waves. She even bent over a couple of times to try to blow bubbles in the water. She loved it all - as long as she had shoes on. I suppose that it could be a yucky feeling to have the ground shift and move beneath your bare feet when you've only walked on floor and regular ground.
