Justin had Monday off, so we decided to take a ride over to Tybee Island for the day. Growing up in Valdosta, I was so used to being able to drive 2 hours and get to a dozen or so beaches, but in Macon, the closest beach is 3 hours away! Oh well, it was totally worth the drive! We took Addie to the beach when she was 5 months old, but this was really her first experience with the sand and waves. She absolutely LOVED the water...she is truly a waterbug! She wasn't crazy about getting too much sand on her, but she did enjoy playing with her pail and shovel. When Justin first took her into the water, he said, "look Addie, here comes a wave," and she waved timidly at the approaching water! Too funny...our English language has so many homonyms!
Our first glimpse of the beach!
On her way to the water for the first time.
This face says it all! She was squealing in delight.
Taking a break from the fun to eat a "Jelly Jelly" sandwich. 
She had to sit in Justin's lap because she was tired of getting sand on her legs!
Ready to splash some more in the water.
We loved sitting at the water's edge. The waves were rough because the tide was coming in, so a few waves knocked Addie over, but she loved it!
Taking a break from the sun.
On our way back home...we bought her this little hat that says Tybee Island and she wanted to wear it home.
Just 5 minutes later, and this was the picture! Such a tired girl!

So fun - looks like you guys had a great time! I think the pic of her sleeping, with her head forward, is too cute! Parker's done that when he's been really tired. Glad you guys had a good 4th!
