The Beach




My Dad recently got a job offer which will move their family out to Utah. My folks decided to have one last trip to the beach before they headed out west and they invited us to join! We are so sad to see them move so far away but we know that this will be good for their family and we wish them the best in their great adventure!


Here are some photos from our trip to St. George Island:

This was Charlotte's 1st trip to a beach and.... She LOVED it!

She loved the sand (she demonstrated this by rolling around in it and "bathing" in it).



She loved the water and the waves. She was completely fearless!


Nothing bothered or scared her. It was such a joy to watch her experience all of this for the first time.




Charlotte and Uncle Jacob...


Our Sandcastle...


Only those at who stayed at the Memory Maker will know to look closely at Jacob's tummy to see a faint battle wound - the result of a game of toss with Daniel. Poor Jacob!


There is nothing quite like coloring in the nude on a beach... why do babies get all the fun?? :)






It was a last minute decision, but I am SOOO thankful Daniel was able to pull away from the demands of running his own business for a few days to spend time with his girls on the beach. The time we had together as a family was so special and it meant so much to me that he could be there with us. Thank you, Lovie!

  1. This series of beach photos are outstanding! Just beautiful. We love the romantic, clean look of white dresses, the way you have your hair, Katrina (& Charlotte) the beautiful innocence of Charlotte as she paints and is cuddled and loved in the arms of her parents. They are simply wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing. It was especially beautiful that Daniel was able to be with you all. So glad your family could be together again at the beach. Looks like Charlotte will be a beach girl just like her Grandma Hege!
