Our Florida Vacation

We just got back from our annual Florida vacation in Pensacola Beach. We had an amazing time....with a few bumps in the road of course. We all left Saturday for a week of fun in the sun. We met up with Mimi, Papa, and Uncle Nicholas later that day. They stayed til Wednesday and then it was just our little family. We had such a blast!











This was the boys' first experience and let me just tell you...they did not like the sand.







They loved to get in the water and of course go swimming, but as far as the sand went, they hated it! This was definetely not the girls' first trip, so right away they went to town. They love being in the ocean and building sand castles in the sand. I think they would have stayed out there all day if Chris and I had let them!
We all went out for Father's Day to dinner at this little restuarant on the beach. It was really good food with an awsome view. Then we took a walk down the pier to see what people were catching.

The girls spent alot of time trying to catch fish with their nets and to my amazement, Kaetlyn actually caught a few! The water was beautiful. Crystal clear and calm as can be. Almost like being in a giant swimming pool.

The babies spent most of their time up under the umbrella trying not to get in the sand. It was kind of nice not having to chase them around. They didn't want to leave the blanket.We also think the grandparents had just as much fun as the kids did!

It was really great getting away for the week. Our condo was on the 15th floor overlooking the bay and we could see the ocean to our left. We had a breath taking view of the sunset every night. Couldn't have asked for anything better. 7days of fun and relaxation.
The girls entered a hermit crab race one night at this place on the beach. It was alot of fun to watch. Kaeli named hers, Tinkerbell, and Kaetlyn named hers, Kelly. Kaetlyn's crab made it to the finals, but unfortunetely didn't win. It was still alot of fun. We went for swims in the evening. The main clubhouse pool overlooked the bay, so we could watch the sunset by the pool when we were down there too.

Our last day was great. We had a blast. Played in the sun all day.

Chris and the girls built a big sandcastle and named it Casa de Luna for fun.We will miss it there so much, but looking forward to next summer. (There's a rumor that Papa might take us all for Thanksgiving this year. Hopefully that will come true!)
