July at the Beach

We spent the month of July at the beach.  We made so many memories and continue to bond with Amy.  She amazes us as she is learning English very quickly and is settling in as a member of our family. Amy loved us all sharing a bedroom together as she and Anna had pallets on the floor.  Cozy. So many good times. Strong bonding times.  Internet service was not good at all so I am doing one post to cover our trip now that we are home. Was not such a bad thing to be disconnected from the world.  No distractions. Quality time. Perfect summer vacation.  Amy's first trip to the beach.  I do believe she will remember. We will all remember.

Amy's first time to see the ocean.  It took her breath away!

July 4th  Record rains kept us inside most of the day.

Spent time with cousins

Amy went from being afraid of the water to turning flips........
 in two weeks time. 

Rainy day craft.....Making necklaces and bracelets

Ribbon Dancing
