beach 2011

Not that vacationing alone before you have kids is a drag, but Mace and I are firm believers that the way to vacation now is with my family.  There is never a shortage of someone wanting to feed, sit with, or bunk with a kiddo when our crew is together!  We had an ahhhmazing time on the Florida gulf with my parents, little bro and sis, and my older sis, brother in-law, and nephew, and my sister and brother in-law.  Because of work schedules and car drama, there was a bit of shuffling and we were all only at our wonderful and gracious friends' townhouse on the beach for less than 24 hours.  But we made the most of it and it was SO fun!  We missed our older brothers and their fams - would have made it all complete, but we understand...some had hogs to tend to and others would have had a bit of a commute! ;-)

Here are a few highlights

just a little potty-training support between cousins


Axl's first feel of the water!
only Mace's fave picture. ever.





we miss the kiddos(and their mom and dad!) so much














really missing our other 2/7's


these two played so well together...it was so fun watching them!
no worries, that big red splotch on mom's chest is what her hand-painted flower necklace left when she sprayed sunscreen over it.  nice.
