We take a few days off work and head down to Water's Edge (adjacent to Rosemary Beach) for some relaxation.
Ella immediately takes to the sand...

We all help.

Ella so enjoys the soft, white sand.

The next day, we hit the beach again.

Princess Ella has a lot of toys!

Checking out the waves with Pop.

Time to build a castle!

They have a great time - and we enjoy watching.

We head back to the house to enjoy the pool before grilling out.

Ella, Pop, and Jill practice synchronized splashing.

There they go...

Watch out, Lolly!

ker-SPLASH!

Ella is such a good swimmer.

At the end of a long night, Ella gets a story from everyone, then bedtime...
