First Vacation - Turks & Caicos

We took our first family vacation with Melia this summer (Aug 9-16). We decided to do a splurge vacation and go to Turks & Caicos. It was a LONG trip. Melia did pretty good on the plane...though she was quite restless. Grandma Beth joined us to get away and help with the kids.

The first day we walked down the beach to a restaurant for lunch. It was so hot! Poor baby was not so thrilled when we got there. Desert babies don't like the humidity. The walk back she was happier because she got to put her feet in the water for the first time. She LOVED the beach!! I believe she ate enough sand while we were there to fill a sand box.






 





 

 

She decided to start walking while we were there. We had known for a while she could have done it, but being stubborn like she is...she decided it was now time!
 
 
 
Basically all we did on this vacation was spend time at the beach...or at the pool. So lots of those pictures. There really wasn't much more to do on the island. We did do a submarine tour. Melia wasn't overly interested in most of it.
 
 














Cameron and Melia loved playing hide and seek in the curtains.
 

 
 
And we got a family photo being buried in the sand.
 


 
And more photos...
 
 
Found a sea shell...then tried to eat it.










Eating more sand.
 
 

 
 
 
 
Every time she woke up we had to wave "hello" to Melia in the mirror.
 
 



 




Melia has a pose, she stands with her forehead on the ground...sometimes she walks and runs her head along the floor. She usually does it when she's frustrated or mad. Works well on the sand too.
 
 
We had ice cream - she loved her cone.
