Home from the Beach...

We're back from Destin. We got in late Tuesday night and we had a really good time. The soccer tournament went great. Our U-17 team lost in the semifinals and our U-12 team lost 2-1 in the Finals. It was a heartbreaking loss, but the girls played great and they have come a LONG way this season. I'm so glad we decided to stay a couple extra days so that we could really enjoy the beach and have a little family time. During the tournament we were going, going, going and barely even had time to eat over those 2 days let alone go to the beach so it was good to recover and hang out after it was all over. My mom went down to help with the girls during the tournament which was such a blessing. We would not have been able to do it without her.

Our girls weren't super excited about the sand:) They both liked being out there and watching the people and the water as long as they were on the towel. Averi kept picking her feet up and holding them. The first day we were out there Mia spread her toys out on the sand and would step on them so that she didn't have to touch the sand...unreal! They sort of warmed up to it by the last day. And they were both scared of the ocean too which was absolutely freezing anyways. My mom said I was the same way even up until I was 5 or 6. I know they'll enjoy it a lot more as they get older. We did get a lot of cute pictures which I will post later on. Our condo was right on the beach which was wonderful. The sound of the ocean is so peaceful and refreshing to me. Now back to the busyness of life...A birthday party to plan for Mia on Saturday and 3 soccer tournaments coming up in May...WOW!
