This year, we spent Christmas week at the beach with the Austins. We had a terrific time. We knew it was going to be a great week when we pulled into the driveway of our rental house and saw this:

Although it wasn’t really swimming weather, the beach was lots of fun. This was Amelie’s first trip to the ocean and I think it was a bit overwhelming for her at first.

But she got over it soon enough and apprehension turned to excitement.



It could get pretty windy out there!

It really was a great week.
