Vacation Part III: The Beach

Our vacation ended with a 4 nights stay at the beach In Bookings. 

The beach near our rental house was really fun. It was rocky and had great tide pools.

Charlotte had fun rescuing stranded sea stars.

This terrifying creature scared the wits out of Olivia; she took off running and screaming when she saw him.

Olivia does not like to touch yucky things; She was brave enough to poke a sea anemone this time.

Our trip included several short hikes. We went on a lovely hike though a thick jungly forrest to find this amazing "hidden beach". 

I think Mia had the best time of all of us. All she wanted to do was play in the water.

Lovely mermaids; this also happens to be the only photo I got of Logan. 

Jens boys-so sweet!

Another beautiful view at Hidden Beach

Hiking out (in flip flops-bad idea)

We also visited some sand dunes. It was hot and there was no water so we didn't  stay long.

While the big kids played at the dunes; we took the little girls to Whales Head Beach. Daisy romped around in her birthday suit and enjoy every moment of it!

The girls played in the shallow river-it was the perfect play place for them.

We spent lots of time on the beach roasting hot dogs, sun bathing and looking for sea glass. Every one had a blast!

Another fun family get together! Thanks to Andrea for making the arrangements!
