Beach Trip

We loaded up the minivan (which we're loving, by the way) and headed to the beach for the 4th of July. This was our annual trip to Atlantic Beach with the Clarks and Varcas, and it couldn't have come at a better time. I don't think I could have waiting until the end of August which is when we usually go.


Ava and Addy had a lot of fun together playing at the pool, digging in the sand, and playing in the condo. Ava also enjoyed picking up shells and flying her kite on the beach. She wasn't a huge fan of the ocean, but enjoyed the pool a lot. Her swimming is getting better by the day, and she is comfortable swimming with her lifejacket on now without having to hold onto an adult.


We had so much fun at the beach with our good friends; we only wish we could do it more often. We're lucky to have the Clarks here in Charlotte so we can see them whenever we want. Hopefully we'll see the Varcas in just a few months at homecoming. Thanks for a great weekend, guys!
