Father's Day at the Beach!

Scott's first Father's Day was spent in Daytona...and it sure was nice!  Before we left, Ella Beth and I gave Scott two Chris Tomlin music chart books and a CD.  He is always trying to remember the words and chords for the songs we sing at church, so we decided to help him out. :) 

Well, the beach was a blast! We went down to Daytona with my mom and stayed for a week.  The driving part wasn't that wonderful (at times it was quite stinky) because Ella Beth wanted "up"...meaning OUT OF THAT CAR SEAT!  She has always been active, but now that she's starting to walk, being strapped in just doesn't suit her!  Other than that, the trip was a nice adventure.  We were a little worried the first day and a half because Ella Beth did not like the pool or the ocean.  What a long week it would have been if she hadn't changed her mind!  She had fun in her turtle float, and she had fun splashing in the big pool with daddy.  Every day we had the same routine:  Get up around 6:30 or 7:00 (even on vacation Ella Beth can't sleep in), eat breakfast, go to the pool, play at the beach, then walk the beach while Ella Beth fell asleep.  It was nice to have the ocean in the back ground as it served to be the best noise machine!  (In fact, Ella Beth now likes to hear the ocean on her noise machine at home!)  We would eat lunch, go back to the pool, come up for another nap, get ready, and then go out to eat.  Eating out is definitely our favorite part of vacation.  And, boy oh boy, does Ella Beth like fish!  She is such a good eater, but she definitely devoured any fish that we gave her to eat.  Here is a picture of her digging in at one of our favorite restaurants, Inlet Harbor. 

I have so many pictures to share, but I will send out a slide show since there are way too many to post here.  But, here is Ella Beth "driving" the milk truck at an ice cream parlor called Cow Lick's.  She thought she was big stuff sitting in the driver's seat all by herself.  Such a silly girl!
