FLORIDA FAMILY VACA!!! WOO HOO!!!

My sister and brother-in-law were ever so kind to offer their condo in Seacrest, Florida to us for a family vacation. This year, we took them up on their offer!!! The following pics are in no particular order...just memories we made from the week there. Thankful for them...every. single. one.

 Daddy playing with his kiddos in the water.

 G lovin' the sand!

 A family pic when the sun is blaring in your faces = a not very good family pic! LOL!

 My sun beauty Adeline. 

First time on the beach. He loved it, but didn't realize it's NOT good to put your hands in your eyes and mouth when you have wet sand on them. Trying to get the sand out was nearly impossible.

 One of the pools at the resort.

 Ads getting ice cream from the Sugar Shak. Yummo!!!

Making friends...loved the outside area at The Villages. There was live music playing every evening. The kids loved dancing around and being silly. The adults enjoyed an adult beverage after a long day. ;)

 This was little man on his first extended beach day...as you can see it wore him out quickly!

Jen, Neal and the boys rented a house just a couple miles away. It was fun hanging out with them several days.

 The kiddos...just hangin' out.

 Where we crossed the street for the BEACH!

 Having fun...isn't it obvious from that face??? 

 Watching the sunset on the beach as a family.

My LOVES...

 Enjoying looking for seashells in the ocean.

Ads wanted to make a necklace while we were there...finished product:

 Alys Beach sprinklers!

 Addy's FIRST soda...it was a special treat for vaca. Cream Soda.....so good!

 Enjoying a walk to Rosemary Beach.

 Addy and her Daddy...taking a stroll on the beach together.

I recently heard someone say when you go away WITH your kids, it's a trip. When you go away WITHOUT your kids, it's a vacation. I totally get that. But, both are good. Both are important. Both make me smile. Grateful for this family. Grateful for these memories.
