The girls all went for a whole week this year. It is the first time that they have gone that long but did not seem to tire of it. Mark could not get off work the whole week and Chris needed to work on his school project so they came down and joined us mid week to enjoy the sun, sand, and ocean with us after they were responsible adults. We were on vacation mode with the days running together, enjoying sweet family time. It is nice to have short little getaways together.    <\/p>\n

The first part of our trip was a girls trip; momma-daughter bonding time. Thankful for each lady in this picture and getting to do life together

\nLisa and Stacy went to the grocery store while Mimi took the girls to the beach. When we got back they had floats that they did not have when we left; a beer float and pineapple. We were surprised at the amount of attention the beer float received on the beach … people even asked to use it for photo ops of their group
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"
\n These monkeys loved playing pile on the couch most mornings and evenings. 
\n\"\"<\/a>

\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nIt only rained one day while we were there. We used it to take the girls shopping. They used their shopping finds to entertain themselves in the room while it was raining. The girlies also all got hair wraps while we were out shopping; they did not want us to tell their daddies and see who would notice it first, uncle Mark or uncle Chris. 
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\" <\/a>\"\" <\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nSnuggles and selfie entertainment always mommy favorite
\n\"\" <\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nGirls just want to have fun
\n\"\" \"\"<\/a>
\nWe went to a new place called Luna that was a hit with he kiddos.
\nThe girls said we needed to bring the boys back to get spaghetti; um you can get fresh seafood at the beach 
\n \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe kids had fun taking pictures for us. We ended up with over a hundred by the time all the girls took pictures; glad it is digital now
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nAll week we enjoyed morning and evening time on the balcony watching and listening to the waves crashing into the shore; so peaceful
\n \"\" \"\"

\nStacy loved watching the sunsets in the evenings! 
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nUncle Chris showing girls how to do card tricks; he is the fun uncle 
\n\"\"<\/a>  
\nSweet Mimi had a girls lunch with the kiddos so Lisa\/Chris and Stacy\/Mark could go on lunch dates after the boys came down …. Thank you Mimi
\n\"\"
\nIvy said she liked the kitchen table they had and thought we should get one for our house. She may have liked that she got ice cream more often at that table than at home since we were on vacation
\n\"\" <\/a>\"\"
\nIvy was mommy’s sleeping buddy for the trip
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Last year we ran into a guy that Lisa went to high school with and his family that Leia buddied up with and this year we ran into another guy with his family when we arrived. The kids had a great time playing with new friends
\n\"\" <\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\" <\/a>\"\" <\/a>
\nLeia and Sara wanted to jet ski so we rented jet skis for the mommas to take them out 30 minutes then the dads took them 30 minutes.I think both of them are hooked and it will become a yearly treat. Leia said she would try parasailing too next year 
\n\"\"  <\/a>\"\"  <\/a>
\nThis is as close as we could get Ivy to the jet ski … maybe next year
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nUncle Mark got to celebrate his birthday at the beach our last full day at the beach.
\nWe hope you enjoyed it and know we all love you
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nHe got a free dessert at supper and the kids entertained us on the stage
\n\"\" <\/a>\"\"<\/a>  
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe fun one the beach and in the pool ran together throughout the week but every minute  was a great time with family

\nMimi loved her monkeys! She has never been a huge fan of getting in the ocean but jumped in if one of the girls asked and missed sitting on the beach to sit at the pool with them
\n\"\" <\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>

\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>  
\n<\/a>There were lots of crabs at the pool in the evenings so Mimi did not have to take the girls out to find crabs; one year I think she said a bug was a crab since they could not find any and they were not willing to go in until they did. Now the girls know what they look like

\nWe were in the car and someone yelled there was a alligator. It took a few minutes for the adults to figure out it was in the sky. We ended up laughing quite a bit at the gator flying in the air. Then a sweet memory of Papa always saying “See you later alligator, after while crocodile” to the girlies popped into our heads. A subtle reminder that Papa is looking over us and will be waiting for us at the pearly gates when it is our time to go home. Until then we are to enjoy this life, forgive often, and love each other unconditionally.
