Safe and Sound

We made it to the beach. In record time...we actually had to waste a few hours in Daytona before we could check in to our condo. Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures to post yet...I just remembered to grab my camera out of the car last night. So hopefully I can remember to take it to the beach and pool and get some really cute pictures.

I think maybe I mentioned Kaylee finally putting her head under the water a couple of weekends ago...well, that girl has turned into a little fish. I knew all she needed to do was get over her fears. She can't touch the bottom of the shallow end down hear but she refuses to wear those floaties! She does cannon-balls off the side and swims to the steps. She can swim probably ten feet under the water without coming up for air! So she's really enjoying the pool.

Alexis is loving the ocean. The first day we were here she went out to play in the waves and even got knocked completely under the water. She just hopped right back up and kept right on playing. Of course, she's been a fish in the pool for a year or two so she is enjoying that part of vacation as well.

It seems that every year we are down here there is an abundance of some form of wildlife on the beach...last year was jelly fish (dead ones mostly), and this year is it crabs. The girls have both already been pinched by some. But neither one of them have cried. On our post dinner walk last night the crabs were close to the shore and of course Ryan would try to catch them. These crabs are aggressive...they came right at him...claws blazing. It reminded me of the crabs from Finding Nemo...you know, the ones that said, "Hey.....hey!"

So we're having fun.
