We are down in Captiva, FL this week on vacation. We had to make a very last minute change of plans from going to Gulf Shores, AL because 2 days before we left the oil was projected to hit that beach. Thank goodness, I was able to find flights and a condo available so we could still take a trip.
The girls did pretty well on the flight except that we took Soph to the airplane potty 4 times and once we got there she would refuse to go because it just freaked her out. Silly thing.
Here at the resort there is a large curly water slide that Emma just loves. And there are also 2 large pools with zero entry that is perfect for Soph. We've been working with them on swimming a bit this week.
We stayed at the beach mostly yesterday and the girls and Tim built an "Ariel" castle with a moat and pools. Didn't get a picture of that masterpiece though.
What a sweet profile. 
This is some of the jewelry she got from the mermaid.
A mermaid, sometime in the night, took Emma's note out of the bottle and wrote a note to Emma along with a map to a buried treasure. 
Emma was making a wish to "Evangeline" (the star from The Princess and the Frog). We're not sure what she wished for because she made us close our eyes and ears so we couldn't hear.
Emma wrote a message for a mermaid and put it in an empty water bottle. She wanted to throw it into the ocean, but instead we told her to bury it in the evening, cover it with shells and see if it's gone in the morning. (Because mermaids will only come to the surface at night as not to be seen)
The bottle (we're not sure what the note said). She also put some flowers in it.
I'm not much for "beachy" decor, but it's funny that Emma thinks this table is just beautiful! I think she would like one for her room!
