The weather was beautiful all week, and we spent mornings and afternoons on the beach. Literally, the hardest part of my day was getting this baby to stay still long enough to slather her in sunscreen and get her dressed in her bathing suit twice a day.
Then the Colorado contingent began arriving! Collins was really excited to meet her two cousins, Wyatt and Chase, whom she quickly renamed "the tall boys". Although initially afraid of the beard, she warmed up quickly to "Uncle Fuzzy Wuzzy" (Uncle Charlie). Chaser was fond of greeting Collins with a loud "boo!" and Wyatt was excited to teach her how to play thumb war.
Then Collins got to meet sweet little Lexi (whom she immediately dubbed "the lady"- where does she come up with these things??). The girl cousins bonded quickly over coordinating yellow dresses.
There were lots of activities to keep us busy including "surfing"...
Collins requesting to go "really deep" into the ocean for some "face waves"...
crab walking...
boating...
and a really fun impromptu birthday party.
Many thanks to Donna and Marty for making it such a special week for us! Thanks also to the Williams clan for making the long trip to visit; Collins will be coming out to see you in Colorado as soon as she can "fly there in her pink airplane".
