antigua!!

Our trip to Antigua was a huge hit with our little traveling girl!! She loved the plane ride, the hotel room, the balcony, the bananas, the friends and all the people we met along the way, the music, the swimming, the pool, the ocean, the birds and pretty much everything about the trip. And she discovered that she really likes fruit loops and will happily eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner if given the opportunity. She also had a clear understanding of the saying "kick off your shoes and relax" because our girl REFUSED to wear her shoes almost all weekend! Is this the same baby that loves her shoes and walks around the house with several pairs at a time singing to them?? Every morning Reese had a little routine of walking out onto our balcony and singing to all of our neighbors while hugging her bathing suit and eating her fruit loops...what a life! But the biggest hit of the whole weekend was of course the gorgeous wedding of Aunt Nookie and Uncle Matthew...words, nor these pictures, can describe what a beautiful wedding they had. They're off on their honeymoon now, and we're back in NJ, but we're still relishing the memories of that wonderful day....and planning our next trip to Antigua!!

And here are some highlights from our trip...in no order of course...

Swimming in the waterfalls in the pool.

Our barefoot party girl.

Some cute family pics after the rehearsal dinner.

A gorgeous sunset view from our room.

When we first got to Antigua, we stripped her down to her onsie and shoes...ha ha ha, what a tourist she is! But no matter what she's got on, she's still able to sign for milk!!

Swimming with daddy is a lot of fun!!

Reese was not thrilled about sharing her fruit loops with her friend, Siena.

Hanging out on the balcony before we head to the beach.

When daddy and mommy turned their backs, our girl dragged the toilet paper all over the room...you can see some remnants of it still on our balcony. She's a trickster she is!!

The kooky Aunt Nookie...

The prettiest little flower girl is loving that island beat!!

Some champagne while getting ready...so fun!

Our gorgeous beach!

Having some fun in the bright sun!

A nap on the beach...nothing better.

Sandy tootsies.

Grandpa and Opa making sure our girl is hydrated during the wedding.

Another gorgeous sunset.

These are the highlights of the weekend...we drank rum punch, reese ate fruit loops, and

our girl refused her shoes.
The girls at the beach.

When your baby is pale, the sand is white, and there's a lot of sun...it makes

for some VERY bright pictures.

When it was time to leave, Reese said over and over "bye bye" with a sad little look on her face. The next day when we were getting ready for daycare, I showed her these pictures and she smiled and then said "bye bye"....I think the smile means she knows we'll go back for another visit to paradise!
