Last Day of vacation

I want to start with a couple funny stories. One story is that she was crying while walking on the beach because she wanted to go to the pool. I asked her to stop but she kept whining. Later, we went back out to the beach to walk and Elli said, "I am sorry I cried. I love you, mommy. We are best friends again."
While playing at the pool one afternoon, there were some older people all sitting around and talking. (They lived there.) Elli "took" to one of the older gentlemen and asked him over and over to watch her do this and that. They loved her and obliged her requests. When we left, she waved bye and said, "See you around."
Elli went under the water and got it in her eyes. When she was done wiping all the water off her face, she looked at Brent and said, "well for crying out loud."

Another park for Elli to play at after dinner. She loved finding a new park everyday. They were all different.

She looks so long/tall here to me. She loved jumping in and would do it constantly. She would also come up with a different story as to why she was jumping. For instance, she was getting away from the lions, it was time to go to school, she needed to ride the horses, etc...She doesn't know yet that if you cross your legs while laying out, you'll get some crazy tan lines:)

We buried Elli's legs in the sand, then she did it to us, again and again. Fun times on the beach. She told me as we were walking back to the condo that she "loved this." I asked what she loved and she said, "just walking on the beach."
