Annabelle spent everyday at the beach and sometimes went to the beach and the pool. Besides the first day (it was way to hot for the babies), she enjoyed herself. Her favorite beach activity was sitting on the edge of the water with her Uncle Ryan and playing in the waves. Only once did Uncle Ryan miss a wave and Annabelle got splashed all over (a hot girl was walking by and he lost track of the waves, go figure!).
She also loved hanging with her cousin Brady, although she got a stern warning from her Uncle Tony because she kept kicking and pulling Brady's hair.
Chillin' in her beach chair was also fun. She would watch the water, watch the boys play washers, or even take a little afternoon nap.
When not on the beach or at the pool, Annabelle was hanging in the huge house that all 30 of us occupied. It was chaotic at times with four little ones, two of which were running around, plus all the Uncles whose maturity level is not much higher than the babies. Annabelle wasn't running around, but she liked observing from her play mate or the jumperoo. She got to spend ample time with her Pappy and Grandmom. Grandmom even volunteered to get up in the morning several days so Mommy and Daddy could sleep. By the end of the week whenever she saw her Pappy she would get the biggest smile on her face, she knows the people who love her the most!
Because we were in Virginia and only four hours away, my best friend Pammy took a drive down for two nights. It was a lot of fun and wonderful to see Annabelle finally meet her Aunt Pammy!
Everyone was sad to see the week end. We all felt so lucky to be part of such a wonderful and loving family. Already the countdown has started for next summer's Helms' beach vacation!
