I simply cannot put into words how great our vacation was. We were 4 of 16 people in our beach house. (12 adults and 4 kids....Gavin, Bridon, Brayden, and Brody - yes, can you believe three of them had names so close?) I must admit, I was a little skeptical about vacationing with so many people, but it was marvelous. Simply marvelous. I'll run down a typical day at the beach for ya:
- Morning: Beach
- Mid day: Big boys on the beach, Brody napping, Mom reading guiltless chick lit on the back deck watching big boys play on the beach.
- Afternoon: Beach - walks - shopping(!)
- Evening: Dining out on seafood (which always tastes better at the beach), playing with the kids, riding go carts, playing miniature golf, shopping
- Late Evening: Kids are in bed and the BIG kids (meaning adults) laughed the night away mostly on the back deck.
Are ya'll jealous? Even I am jealous, and I was there. OH, how I want to go back. I am thinking it is about time to implement a beginning of summer AND and end of summer vacation. I don't think two vacations a year are too much to ask. (grinning.)
We had some professional photos taken again this year. It was really nice, because we got to have a family portrait made with Keithy and Becca. Plus, we got an absolutly to-die-for-adorable picture of Brody. The first time I viewed the CD of photos, I was totally not expecting to see it and when I appeared on the screen, I got chill bumps. I've included some of those pictures here.
Many thanks to Keith & Becca, Adam & Lacee, Cecil & Brenda, Sharon, Stella, Nate, Martha, Gavin, & Bridon for making our vacation one of our best. We simply cannot wait until next summer.
Here are some of the professional photos:

Yes, I am very jealous! :) The pictures are great! I tried to see the slideshow, but couldn't get it to come up. I'll try again later. I'm sure they are great, too!
I am not as computer savvy as you are, so I messed up posting the link. I think it is fixed now!
