Godfrey Family Beach Trip

Summer is HERE! We kicked it off the best way we know how by going to the beach. Here's a quick run down including LOTS of pictures. Prepare for the cuteness that is a baby in smocked swimwear!

Reese was a wee bit terrified  unsure about the sand and surf at first. The first two days involved a LOT of mommy and daddy holding her.
 
 
 
Snacks in the shade on our beach blanket was a favorite part of each day.
 
 
Sweet baby finally warmed up to beach life by about day three.
 
 
 We ate dinner out a few nights. This was one of our favorite spots! Sea n Suds! It was a perfect night on the beach. Can you tell I curled my hair? :( Gotta love humidity!
 
 
 Reese was dressed to impress in her anchor bubble from Smocked Auctions
 
 
 We are definitely in a fun phase of "Look away from the camera as soon as mommy says to look and smile." Makes for lots of outtakes.
 
 
 Mommy/daughter walk! I did try a maternity tankini the first day but I got too darn hot. It's ALL about comfort, y'all!
 
 
 It was SO fun watching these two play all week! I am pretty limited these days thanks to my growing baby belly. Daddy to the rescue!
 
 
 WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
 
 
 "Reese, say cheese!!" "NO thanks."
 
 
 Matt's sweet parents kicked us out of the house one night so we could have a date! It definitely included put put and I definitely showed this boy whose boss!
 
 
 Toward the end of the week, we had the opposite problem that we experienced in the beginning. Now we were trying to make sure this brave girl didn't float away.
 
 
 Maybe my favorite picture from the whole trip
 
 
 Here's our home base!
 
 
 Lolly and Poppa were always close by and Reese was their little shadow the entire week!
 
 
 Another little Smocked Auctions bubble for our last night out to dinner!
 
 
 Tried to get some pictures of Reese before dinner and let me just tell you, I WORKED for these. Girl was wayyyyyyyy more interested in throwing sand and walking into the dunes. Let's just say I was sweating like a wild banshee by the time this little photo session concluded.
 
 
 Sweet little beach baby
 
 
 This was the best we got when it came to a family picture.
 
 
The BEEEEEEEEEEEEautiful house we stayed in for the week!!
 
 
Hope you enjoyed our week in photos! Be sure to check back in the next few days for my post on tips for having a toddler at the beach!
