first...not sure why this is underlined...I'm having issues with this website. And I can't shuffle the pictures how i want them, so they're out of order!!
Last week, we went to Panama City Beach, FL with my family. We had an AWESOME time! We
stayed in a huge 6 bedroom house right on the beach. The boys and Emma would be the first to wake up every morning to get things started. After breakfast and some lazy time, we'd head to the beach to play in the sand and in the ocean. We'd head up to the house for lunch - and then back to the beach! We cooked dinner at the house and all ate around the huge table. Then we'd head out for an evening walk and watch the sunset. Then once the kids went to bed, we watched movies, played Wii, and sat outside in the rocking chairs chatting. We missed Tim, Marc and Sarah (who were unable to come), but I'm so glad Lyndsey still came! And it was great to see Drew, Will and Parker have so much fun together - they ran around the house, jumped on beds, built TONS of sandcastles, rode in the boat together, and danced in the rain together! Lyndsey and I took probably over 400 pictures between the two of us on my camera and Mom and Dad's camera!
We had a few storms - here's the boys dancing in the rain!
This was so silly how the birds lined up at the water!
We got a great picture of everybody on our last day!! (we'd planned on the white shirts/khaki shorts combo!). I love this picture!!
Here's Julie, Ben, Will and Parker.
Drew and Emma taking a break from our "photo session."
Here's one of the storms blowing in!
The only two girl cousins in our family. There's three boys and another on the way. What a pretty picture!
Drew and Emma adore Lyndsey! Every time we head to Indiana, Drew is always asking if Lyndsey will be there.
Awww!
Me and Chad with the kids. Not sure why Drew looks so angry!! haha
Ben and Julie and their boys had gone out to eat before we did pictures, so we got one shot of the rest of us.
Mom and I
Our house even had an ELEVATOR!! Which, of course, all the kids thought that was pretty great!
Drew and Chad floated around in this boat on our last day for a LONG time - Drew loved it! He was so worn out and just chilled out and chatted with Chad. Ben bought this boat for $16 at Wal-Mart, and it was AWESOME!! Lyndsey and I had so much fun riding in the huge waves in it and getting tipped over multiple times! We even got washed out to sea (not really, but we thought we were!! We got too far out and had trouble getting back! haha)
Drew and I buried Chad!
Here's Mom and Dad and the kids.
Julie and Mom even got out in the boat!
And Dad too!! haha! The hardest part was when you got washed all the way up to shore and waves kept hitting you!
Ben and Chad pushed Parker and Drew around in the boat.
Drew and Will were best buddies on vacation!
Here's Drew sitting on the balcony
Here's Emma playing in the sand on one of our evening walks. This was always close to her bedtime (we stayed on NC time, even though FL was an hour off), so I think she was ready to head in
Chad and Drew were blasting off rockets to the yard area for the others to catch.
Blasting off rockets!
Our family again, on our evening walk.
Emma was sleepy, so I was singing and dancing with her! =)
Building sand castles!
Ben buried both of his boys' legs in the sand. Will's not too sure about it!
Cheese!
When I asked Drew what his favorite part about the trip was, he said, "playing in the sand and the ocean with Daddy." =)
Emma tried to keep up with the 3 boys. She wanted to play baseball too!
Here's all the kids!
Drew and Chad in the sunset.
