Tinsley's first beach trip

This past week, Tinsley took her first trip to the beach.  We had a girls trip with Grandmom, Whitney and Sherri.  Kourtnee lives in Portland so we got to spend our days with her. :-)  Desi did not get to go with us due to work. :-(  We all had a great time and Tinsley LOVED the beach.  Below is a recap of our trip in pictures(lots of pictures).

Tinsley went and hung out at Grandmom and Granddad's on Tuesday morning while I finished packing up.  She was so excited when Grandmom arrived to pick her up!


My dad had the fun task of helping us load up the car :-)


For some reason, he had no desire to go with us to the coast to unload all of our stuff ;-)

Excited to be headed to the beach
About 5 minutes later....
It ONLY took 4 carts to get all of our stuff in. 


We stayed at Port Royal.  It was so nice.  The pool was awesome and the beach was just a short walk away.

We went to Trout Street for dinner the first night with Clay and Kourtnee.  Tinsley loved being out on the deck looking at all the fancy boats.


Life is full of so many important decisions!!!!

Playing in the sand


I was not sure how Tinsley would like the beach.  She loves being in the pool, but I didn't know how she would feel about the waves, sand and salt water.  She loved it!  She is already becoming so independent!  We would try to hold onto her and she would push us away.



She loved splashing and didn't seem to mind the saltwater in her face.


Attempting to get out of my reach.




You cannot see it too well in the pictures, but there was mud all over Tinsley's hat from her picking up the wet sand and throwing it.


Toes in the sand.

After all of that fun at the beach, Tinsley decided to take a nap by the pool.  Mom and Sherri laid out towels for her to rest on. 

After her powernap and a change of swimsuits, Tinsley was ready to hit the pool!




Relaxing in her float


Tinsley puts her face in the water and comes up laughing!




The next day, we went back to the beach!

After lunch and a quick wardrobe change, we went back to the pool.

Giving Grandmom a kiss :-)

Tinsley loved Kourtnee's hat.  She would pat her head as if she wanted to wear the hat and would get SO excited when we put it on her.

Dressed for dinner.  We went to Water Street Oyster Bar- YUM!



Mom and Sherri built this sandcastle.  Whitney, Kourtnee and I were amazed by this as they were only gone for about 30 minutes and had no buckets or sandcastle building materials.  We have some talented moms!!!!

Videos of Tinsley at the beach below. My voice is sooo annoying in these, but I was trying to get her to look at me.  She had no desire to look up at us as she was VERY BUSY playing!



We had so much fun at the beach and can't wait to go back again next year!
