Fourth of July - Navarre Beach

We went to Navarre Beach Florida this year for the fourth. I was so excited to be headed back to the beach. Although I knew it would be a whole new world with a little one in tow. It was a whole new experience alright but not because of Madilyn. It rained pretty much the. entire. time. we were there!!! I am used to pop up showers at the beach but not a complete 29 mile/hour blowing wind and rain wash out. We did manage to take advantage of the beach our first day there.

 But we thought our time was limited, take a look at the sky....

It had started to look scary so we headed back to get ready for dinner. As you would have guessed as soon as we started getting ready for dinner the sky cleared. So we decided to take some pics while we had break in the weather. Still no sun but no rain at the time either....

I had our outfits all planed out. I was going to wear a navy blue shirt and my white shorts. Justin was going to wear the shirt you see pictured and blue jean shorts and Madilyn was going to wear the jumper she has on in these pics. However my little spitter ate just a little too much and covered my shirt, shorts and her daddy's shorts with spit up!!!! so we had to change but her outfit remained fresh and clean..... go figure :)

Isn't she gorgeous????

The next two days were nothing but rain and scary high winds. (Scary because high winds and a camper are not the best combo). However they did shoot the fireworks anyway. I was super surprised they went on with the show but glad they did. Madilyn loved the bright lights in the sky (even if we had to watch them from the camper window because the cold wind was just too much for her).

Our last day there we decided to drive into Destin, which is about a 20 minutes from Navarre.Well, not that day!!! Due to the rain coupled with it being a holiday weekend we fought crazy traffic for about 2 hours, gave up and turned our selves around! Luckily when we got back to the camper it had FINALLY stopped raining and the wind had died down some. So we were able to walk on the beach....

Our baby girl loves this sling!! She loves to be carried faced out. I remember before Madilyn I would think women who wore thier baby looked ridiculous and now I am one of them. But hey whatever works right?

After our walk we were able to snap some more pics of our precious girl

Again with the feet....

In the middle of our shoot Madilyn spit up yet again.... this pic is right after (i spared you from seeing the during) Call me crazy but I laugh every time I look at this pic.... it is hilarious to me.

We went back to the camper to hang out. Madilyn played on her mat until she wore herself out....

Later she went for a piggy back ride.....or should I say doggie back ride :)

Until Next Time....
