Sophia's first beach trip

We took Sophia to Orange Beach over the summer. We went with 3 of my girlfriends from Auburn and their families. All together, there were 8 adults and 4 children.

Sophia didn't care too much for the ocean. She played with the sand, but did not want her feet to touch it!

The whole crew

The buckets were painted by Amanda for all the little ones. They were so cute!
