Allie started Pre-K 3 this week. She goes 3 days a week from 9-2. She absolutely loves school. Every day in the summer she would get up and ask if it was a school day. She loves her teacher and has most of the same kids from last year in her class. She loves going to music, she is already singing new songs!! Thanks to her awesome teachers!!!!!!!!!

Beach Pictures from Vacation

We actually never went to the "real" beach. Everyone was sleeping in one morning so Allie and I walked across the street to walk on the beach!! Of course she got wet and at first wasn't to sure about the waves!! She loves sand as we had went to a private beach and she played for hours in the sand and in the water but there were no waves and the water actually had a cement bottom! It was more of a private lagoon with different areas. One area had water slides which she liked but loved playing in the sand!





Wasn't sure of the waves at first!!!!



Allie washing shells, she loved finding the little shells!!


Allie washing the sand off her leg!!
