Family Beach Trip

Well, we went on another family beach trip with my family and had a great time .We stayed in a condo together and really enjoyed the company together. The kids were rotten all week and we ate like kings & queens. we all gained 10 pounds I think:) Here are a few highlights of the trip....

• Day 1- Cole climbed up on a stack of chairs on the balcony....Dad grabbed him as he was getting ready to look over balcony...dad almost had a heart attack...Cole was banned from alone time on the balcony.
• Addy can swim...all by herself...all over the place!
• Cole can doogie paddle across the pool for a few seconds....with no swimmies:) It makes Nanny a nervous wreck....but he is learning:)
• Lucy had as much clothes as all of us:) She is the best dressed baby in town!I think I counted 14 bathing suits:) Can you tell she is a miracle baby?
• Cole & Addy were beach babies! They dug...they swam...they fed seagulls, they chased seagulls, & Cole even threw sand:( They LOVED it!
• Thomas' donuts....yum...enough said...happy morning.
• Capt. Anderson's, Sharkys, Boondocks, The Shrimp Boat, Angelos....do you see why I gained 10 pounds....yum...now back to reality.
• We took our first ride on a fan boat...best money we spent down there...tons of fun! Saw 2 alligators too!
• Peir Park rides! Cole & Addy loved them.. Lucy rode the carousel and then headed to bed:)
• Nanny said the slogan of the week was...."Where's Cole?" We all said it a lot.
• Cole thought it was fun to chunk Nannie's shells over the balcony...lucky no one was below.
• Taboo caused a family argument...Tess, Brooke, Josh, & Emily are cheaters.
• Phase 10...the game that never ends.
• The Hangover- great movie to watch again....so funny!
• Fireworks shot from the peir...beautiful!!!!
• NO OIL!

We had a wonderful time . We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to vacation with family...and even more than that to have family. God is so good to us. I know everything he created is so perfect...but sitting on the balcony at the beach watching those waves and that sweet sound....I mean only He could make a place so beautiful.
