Beach Photo Shoot

I love having two girls and dressing them the same on occasion, and dressing them in blue.  Especially these two.  With their eyes and light hair.  Love it.  I also love taking their pictures on the beach.  I got a couple cute ones this year.  And they actually cooperated for the most part.

Fun at Granny and Hapa's

Last stop on our whirlwind tour of the US.....Florida!

We went to the beach every single day!!!!!  We had to soak in as much vitamin D as we possibly could before heading back to Belgium.

The girls had so much fun at the beach.  It is definitely all of our happy place.  Even if we only go for about an 1 1/2 at a time. 

Here they look like sweet sisters, but only for a split second.  They were busy burying two horseshoe crabs that had washed ashore.  Always something to do and see at the beach!

Enjoying a tractor ride with Hapa.

We had such a wonderful time in Florida!  Thank you Granny, Hapa and Beau!

Visit to Florida

I was a brave (crazy) girl and drove down to Florida with the girls last Thursday. What is normally a 6 hour drive took us 8 hours on the way down between potty and feeding stops. But both girls were really good, so it wasn't completely miserable.

Grace and Audrey's Maryland cousins were also in town - they are staying with Granny and Grandpa for THREE weeks.

We went to the beach every day for about an hour and a half. Just enough time. Although the first day, I literally had to drag Grace home kicking and screaming..... but she really enjoyed playing in the sand and sitting at the water's edge. Got washed over by one wave while trying to boogie board with Quinn, and decided she wasn't the sporting girl type!





We also feasted on crabs - my favorite thing when we're in Florida!



(You can really hear the true Audrey Caspermeyer in this video!)




Hmmm, how do I use these things?



Passing out the claws....



Another night, the kids all made pizza for dinner.



Future Food Network Stars.



And of course, we went to see the fireworks for the 4th!



It was a great visit. Grace loved hanging out with her big cousins and her Granny and Hapa.

The drive home was going even better then the ride down, in terms of length of time. But had an incident south of Atlanta where I had to slam on my brakes, and it caused my traction control system to kick in and do crazy things with my speedometer....... I got home safely, and took the car to the dealer this morning, and it turns out my transmission had overheated, so the incident was almost like a blessing in disguise. At least that's what I'm telling myself now....
