A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to South Carolina to visit Pete's sister and family, as well as for his brothers wedding. Ellie had lots of firsts...airplane ride, the beach, the ocean, a boat ride...needless to say it was a big weekend.
We had to leave our house at 3am for our flight....Ellie went to sleep in her clothes so she would be all ready to go...
this is her before mommy plucked her out of her little bed to put her in her car seat
Ellie seems rather happy and excited for her first plane ride...considering it is 4:07am
Snuggling with daddy before we took off
Watching out the window
Seeming a bit sleepy
A little milk and she was out
We had a stop in Georgia...Ellie checking out the planes
Taking it all in with Daddy
A little play time before we got on the second plane
Out to lunch with Aunt Krissy, Isaac, Haley, Mommy and Daddy
The first night we were there we met up with Pete's parents and had dinner with them...Ellie was deciding what she wanted to eat
Spending time with Uncle Jeff
Getting in some beauty rest before the wedding
A little cuddle time with Aunt Krissy
That Isaac is hilarious
Excuse me Aunt Krissy...but that is my plug and I am not so good at sharing
Just hanging out
On the beach all ready for the wedding to begin
Uncle Jeff entertained Ellie during the wedding
My mom just thinks I'm cute!!!
Our first family beach picture!!!
Ellie checking out sand for the first time...
She liked digging her little piggies into the sand
On to the water...Ellie liked the water washing over her toes
Mommy loving all the new things with Miss Ellie girl
watching the big waves
Mom look how smart I am...I wrote my name in the sand
Holding Daddy's hand and liking the sand

Aunt Krissy was happy to hold Ellie any opportunity she got
A walk on the beach before bedtime

The walk put her to sleep
Ellie had a big day...she really slept great while we were there
Ellie getting ready for her first boat ride

Ellie got to float behind the boat while we docked for awhile
While it doesn't look all that comfortable she hung out in the floating toy for awhile and was happy
Ellie taking in the whole experience
Ellie decided she could get use to this life
A fun day on the waterway
Getting ready for some more swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's hotel
Hanging out with Grandma
Lots of kisses and hugs from Grandma and Aunt Krissy
One more swimming opportunity, our happy little family
