BEACH WEEK!
This is my favorite week of the entire year. Every year, Mama, Daddy, Olivia, and I go to Atlantic Beach to spend a week with my dad’s extended family. It is always full of laughter, sun, love, playing, and cousins that become my siblings, if only for a few days. To make it even better, Olivia and I brought our best friend from elementary school (who also went with us to Millbrook), Olivia V. Let’s just say the number of Olivias staying in one place that week was ridiculous. We also have a cousin, who’s just a few years younger than me, whose name is Olivia.
The best part about this week were the new additions to the family. Millie is my cousins Olivia and Tessa’s little sister, and she had just turned one. She was always smiling and pointing and gurgling at something, making everyone laugh. Elijah is Millie’s first cousin, and he was born February 15 of this year. He is literally the cutest baby I have ever seen. He has enormous eyes, rolls of soft skin, and round cheeks. I got to feed him once, and he even fell asleep on me a couple of times. Mama called me a baby hog, and though I protested, it’s probably true! I guess there are worse names to be called, haha. :)
The week was filled with Spoons (the game, not the utensil--although it does involve the utensil), Mao Mao (like Uno but better), sunburns, jokes, Capture the Flag, and swimming. We always go to a movie with all of my cousins, and so this year we went to Finding Dory, of course! I really enjoyed spending time with Olivia V., since she’s going off to college in Virginia this coming fall, and it was nice to hang out before she heads off. What a wonderful week!
