Florida Memories & Lots Of Pictures

We just had a wonderful time with Doug's family in Florida. How can you not love beach, sun, and beautiful foliage. The weather was great almost the entire time & we just lived outside (that is when the boy's weren't napping - which they did very well with all the water & sun to wear them out!).


We stayed at a resort just of the ocean in Panama City. We were on the 15th floor with an ocean view.

The ocean was definitely my favorite, but the boys weren't so sure about it. We took them everyday, but after about 30 minutes they would melt down & we would have to head back to the pool or inside for a nap. The last day they finally decided they liked it & had lots of fun playing with sand & attempting to crawl into the waves.


The pool was the 2nd most frequented location. Benjamin like watching all the older children play & getting pulled around. Joseph didn't like the big pool at all because he couldn't go where he wanted to, but he liked standing and walking around the edge of the kiddy pool. Joseph also loved his shovel & pail quite a lot & would squeal very loudly when he had it.


The boys favorite thing was crawling around on the grass & pavement around the pool area. They both perfected the bear walk.


It was wonderful to be with family. I just cherish the time we have together. The kids grow so fast.


My own little family the evening we spend walking around some specialty shops near the ocean.

Doug & I were grateful for the time we had together while Grandpa & Grandma watched the boys. Nothing is better than a walk on the beach in the evening with the love of your life.

And now it is back to reality, but we have many wonderful memories to cherish in the years to come.
