Vacation Time!

On the last day, Maya finally fell asleep on the beach, even though we tried to get her to every day on vacation.

Monkey see, Monkey do...

Ivan and his girls:

Maya and mommy enjoy some beach time together
Amanda with her babies (Maya -on the day she finally fell asleep!)

Surfer girl!

Maya shows off a toothy grin (all 6 of them!)


Sofia was nervous about the rough waves, and she loved to go to the edge of the water, then when the waves came in, she would run away as fast as she could.

A little beach reading!
We went to play miniature golf one night, but we had more obstacles on the course than most people!

Ivan would dig the girls a little "swimming pool" everyday that they loved to sit and splash around in.
Here is Sofia, waiting for the waves (and waiting to run)



We had lots of fun with bubbles!

Cowgirl Sofia... she says Hee-Haw, everytime she puts this hat on!

Maya loved the waves and would have run off head first into them if we let her. She settled for sitting right at the surf line and letting the waves come to her.

Bathing beauty Sofia would order all of us to go fetch her some more water because she needed to keep cool!

A visit to Friends in Florida!

Sofia makes a big splash in Georgia's pool! Naked water baby Maya cooling off with Dad!
Sofia is a water baby. She never wanted to get out of the pool.

She loved just floating around on her own.

It was a great time for all the girls to play!
