Girls' Vacation

Last week was our much anticipated Girls' Vacation! IT WAS SUCH A GREAT TRIP!!! Alexa LOVED the pool and hated the ocean (probably because the pool water was like a bath and the ocean was freezing). She discovered her feet (that Dan has since labeled her 'happy feet' to go along with her 'fun hands') and how to change the pitch of her "voice." She now has this hilarious high pitched squeal :)~ While in MB, we ate at Dick's Last Resort (where the staff is rude to you ~ hilarious), Planet Hollywood, and other local restaurants. We shopped at Broadway on the Beach (for you C-bus people, it's like Easton times 100), where Alexa got an awesome John Deere massaging corn teether. We swam, laid out on the beach, and even got to karaoke one night! Our vacation was so much fun - even the countless hours of driving were a good time. Thanks for a great trip Mom, Danielle, Erin, Aunt Kathy, Rox, and Bella!!!

I loved the videos. My favorite was the one with Noni and Alexa on the float. The "dunk" frightened me. I've seen other mothers do that to their children but I think it really scares them! There were so many great pictures and I loved seeing all of them.
