First beach trip of 2009!

We had a fantastic first beach trip of 2009! Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and the first couple were miserable!! I did not pack appropriately (genius here did not look at the weather report!) and I was freezing when I went outside. Despite all of that - we were there for over a week (Sunday to Monday) and it was so nice to just be with our family with no place to be, nothing we had to do, etc. We started really potty training Ali while there and she picked it up right away and has had very few accidents! One nice thing about being stuck inside, just the four of us! :) Rhodes got lots of floor time too and is moving all over the place. She can turn around in a circle using her arms, but can't get those tiny :) legs up and going just yet. It won't be long! Here are the few pictures we got from our fun trip! (camera kept running out of batteries)

On Tuesday, we ventured out to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island




Ali was VERY excited to go there but not sure about them once she got close. (And, I have to admit, they were kind of scary looking!)
I'm not sure Rhodes cared too much about the sea turtles...
Hanging out and having fun at "Mimi & Papa's swim house!" (as Ali calls it)

Tea parties, potty training, scooting everywhere - what our first days were full of!

Here comes the sun! The sun started peaking out (and barely made it to 80 degrees) so we headed to the pool. Here's Rhodes' first pool experience.... Big sis Ali was a little weary of the pool at first but warmed up more and more, the more she was in it! Hopefully by the end of summer, she will love it again!
