Our summer came and went so quickly. But it was filled with awesome times that I don't want to forget!
{BEACH TRIP}
Our first big event in June was Adeline's FIRST FLIGHT! And our mommy/baby only trip to Florida!
The Daddies dropped us three mommies and babies off at the airport. After saying our tough good-byes, we left the Daddies at home to work and headed down to the beach for a girls' trip to play! We mastered security, waiting for flights, flights, baggage checking and claim (by the grace of God and a really nice/patient airport employees), a hotel overnight stay, car rental, and short commutes through a big city going and coming. But the tropical environment and beach awaited us...and it was FABULOUS!
