.: Vacation <3

Although it was short, we had a blast in California with family and friends this past weekend! Our friends Sam and Joey Swope were so hospitable to us and let us crash at their place for 2 nights. (I LOVED catching up with them!). We spent hours on the beach with family, (and got burnt pretty bad..), and had a blast playing sand volleyball with family and some great friends! Definitely an nice and much needed vacation.

So a few weeks ago, Paisley and I went to Maine to visit my family. We went to the beach on the east coast, and Paisley hated it. She was fine on a blanket, but she just didn't like the sand or water at all. Later, she wouldn't even put her feet in the dirt! Here is a video so you see..

After a few minutes with her grandpa, we was loving sticking her feet in the water, and soon after started crawling and playing in the sand! She got SO comfortable, actually, that she ate several handfuls of it. (She is QUICK! I couldn't get to her in time every time I saw a handful of sand go towards her mouth).

Landon and I got to swim in the ocean and buggy board quite a bit, and a fun game of beach volleyball wrapped up each day before dinner.

I already can't wait for vacation next Summer! Aspen Grove with the whole family, and hopefully a beach trip sometime, too :)
