Beach-Bound

The weather at Nags Head this year was really nice, and I have to say that I miss that gentle ocean breeze here recently with our 99 plus TN temperatures! I could talk about how hot it is for a paragraph or two, but I won't. Let's just say that all of us East Tennesseans are READY for fall!!! I do think I've had more conversations this past month with total strangers when I'm out with Ava because folks just want to verbalize to another human being "how hot it is." Sometimes, we just look at each other and say, "Whew" and we both feel better. :)

We spent a great morning at the beach playing in the water and sand. Ava is SO adventurous and loved exploring the beach this year.

Ready for the day - pj top, a grass skirt and bunny slippers!



Handsome cousin, Evan!



Come on, Mom and Dad. Let's go!



Nothing would do her but to push it herself. Here comes the twos!

Ava, Daddy and Auntie Jenn








A pelican flew into the Uncle Vince and nephew Evan splash picture. Jenn, I think you captured this with our camera.





Talking things over with cousin, Chase. :)



Singing with Granddaddy!



These game pieces were sticking to Ava's palms, and she had fun picking them up over and over again with Grandma.



Special time with Grandma and Granddaddy. :)
