Beach Bums

We had another great trip on our family vacation.  This year mom decided 19 of us wasn't enough people and added more family members to attend with us.  :) My Aunt Allison and Uncle Steve, their kids, Brynn, Avery, and Ella all joined us and stayed a few doors down.  We had a blast. 

This is the beautiful townhouse that Gary and Mom just bought.  It was never a dull moment or a quiet one.  But that is what we love...the chaos of it all and just being together. 

 I was thrilled about how well the boys survived on the trip down.  Last year was amazing and I just knew with Garon being one now that it could be risky.  He proved me wrong.  Garon did awesome.  He got whiny when we hit Pensacola (20 min. left into the trip) and Grady started getting excited.  He expressed his excitement by kicking the seat.  My seat!! We deferred the seat kicking my shouting "who can see the beach first" and that worked out great.  When we finally made it Garon was so excited to see that his legs still worked.  He just ran around in circles and laughed out loud. 

After settling in we decided to hit the beach and become beach bums.  We were really good at it to! Garon loved the sand and the ocean.  He would laugh out loud every time a wave hit him.  Even if it knocked him down! Here is my beach bum relaxing in his chair.  

 Here is Mom, Halle, Landon, and Grady.  Mom is shelling.  It is her favorite thing to do and you wouldn't believe how many shells she now has.  The kiddos were intrigued and wanted to try it out theirselves. 

 Grady was just relaxing in the sand. 

This was another great trip for the books.  I love my family and I love getting to spend this time together with all of them.  Thanks again Mom and Gary for more wonderful memories!
