This Christmas my brother, sister and I pitched in and rented a beach condo in Pensacola, FL for Mom and Dad so we could take our first family vacation with all the grandkids. It was great! It's amazing that 4 families -Jason (13 people) could stay in one place for almost a week and not have any arguements. The kids had a great time playing together! They were adorable playing on the beach together.
Once again, Carly LOVED the beach!!!
The kids had fun flying kites.
They loved standing on the edge and running away when the waves came in.
The first night all the kids wanted to get in bed with me and Carly to watch Max and Ruby.
We were all so tired at the end of the day. It never took Carly long to fall asleep and I was always right behind her.
Carly and Austin
Carly loved seeing her footprints in the sand.
She is obsessed with her rainboots. She wore them around the condo any chance she got. Wheneven insisted on taking them to the beach with her. Sadly, they didn't make the trip home with us.
These pics are out of order, but on the way home Jeanette and I stopped in Montgomery, AL and stayed the night. We swam in the indoor pool and ordered pizza. Afterwards the kids were playing pretend with the phones. Here is Carly talking to Max and Ruby. She loves that show!!
Carly and Carter playing on the deck on a chilly morning.
We took a trip to the Gulf Breeze Zoo on a day that was too cold for the beach.
Carter stuck is head through the hole a baby Kangaroo and the other kids were trying to feed him. He kept saying "I not a animal!" It was the cutest thing!
Ready for another day on the beach.
I dug the kids a hole which they played in forever. Now that is some cheap entertainment.
