Trip to the Beach

Olivia had her first trip to the beach this past weekend. We left Friday and came home Monday. We stayed at my brother-in-laws mother's house in Carillon Beach which is down the road from Panama City. My sister and her family were there along with some of her in-laws...needless to say, we had a lot of people there and a really good time! The first day out at the beach, Olivia did not like the sand and the sound of the waves scared her, but the second day she was down in the sand crawling everywhere, eating it, trying to eat seashells, playing with the sand toys and all. She had a blast. We took her to the pool everyday too and she enjoyed kicking around in a float. It's like she just knew what to do once she got into the water. Kevin and the guys went to Destin where Okie's dad took them out deep-sea fishing. They caught their limit on Snapper in the first 45 minutes. None of them thought to bring a camera with them on the trip, so we don't have any pictures. I have more pictures on my video camera but just have to figure out how to get them on here. Hope everyone enjoys!

Olivia was tired, but she knew we had to be going somewhere fun to have all of her toys with her!

AIRPLANE!!! Olivia loved waving at all the airplanes that flew by. I told her they were her Uncle Bubba, or at least when the C5s flew by! :)

The first day, when Olivia didn't want to have anything to do with the sand, she liked playing in the super-saucer.

Eating breakfast

This was taken one morning back in March. It looks like Olivia's hair had been cut, but it hadn't.
Okie came to visit us last Sunday. Olivia was being very shy at first, but warmed up to him after a while.
She loved showing off for him. She did Pat-A-Cake for him and all sorts of tricks.

Olivia's 1st Boat Trip

Back in March when Victoria stayed with us, it was warm enough to go on a boat ride. This was our first time in the boat and it was so fun. Olivia enjoyed it, but it was a little windy.

Easter 2007

Easter morning Olivia got up and saw what the Easter bunny had left her. He brought her a duck, a rabbit and a lot of eggs full of money to put in her piggy bank! She must have been a sweet little girl to have gotten all of that! She had so much fun playing with the eggs!

I am so happy for them, especially my brother! We are just having babies, babies and more babies in this family! Congratulations you two, we LOVE YOU!!!!!

The Georgia Aquarium

The aquarium was awesome! It was really busy since we went on a saturday, so it was hard to see all of the animals and fish really well. They have so many varieties of things! We saw sharks, whale sharks, tropical fish, penguins, Beluga whales, jellyfish, sting rays, you name it! Olivia was amazed by it! She loved just watching them swim around. I have a lot more pictures of it that I need to get developed, so bare with me!
