Our First Family Vacation - June 2012 (Post 4)

Saturday, June 30, 2012

We had great plans for Saturday.  My mom, stepdad, sisters, and neices and nephews were all coming out to spend the day with us on the beach.  Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with our plans.

 The wind was blowing like a hurricane was upon us.  Things were flying everywhere.

 That didn't stop us from going out on the covered patio to enjoy the breeze.

 Daddy gave both of the girls tattoos.

 Kinsley playing in the rain.

They love their daddy.

 Once Brenna, Tim, and the kids got there, it was time for lunch. 

Chloe and Kinsley got to sit at the big bar.

 Breanna, Katie, and Brendon enjoying hotdogs and chips.

 Journey was very observant of her surroundings, until she fell asleep.

 Cousins.  We're missing Lindsey, but she was off with her boyfriend.

 Brendon, Journey, Kinsley, Chloe, Lilly, Katie, Breanna, and Sailor (she'll be here in August).

As we were looking down at the kids, I was thinking to myself how crazy it is that all of these kids are ours.

My mom and Journey.

 It started raining right when we were about to leave for the beach. 

It wasn't just raining, it was POURING down.

 They all decided to make the most of it and since they were all in their swim suits...they played in the rain.

 Frogs started coming out of everywhere during the rain.  They were catching them left and right.

 Katie releasing her frog.

 Lilly was enjoying the rain too.

 Amy and Patrick.

 Chloe was scared to death of the water.  She was hanging on Brenna like a little monkey.

 They had so much fun playing in the water.  The waves were a little high so we didn't let them go to far out.

 This is usually what happens when Kinsley and Lilly are together...LOL.

Look at that dark sky.

This was our last full day at the cabin.  We got to watch some pretty incredible firework shows Saturday night.  They were spectacular.

We were dreading Sunday, but all good things must come to an end.

I didn't take any pictures our last day because I spent the entire time cleaning and packing up.  Check-out time was 2:00.  We were finished and ready to go at 1:00.  I would have liked to have stayed until 2:00, but even though I wasn't ready to leave, I was ready to get home and unpack.

This was a vacation that I will never forget.  We enjoyed it so much.  We plan on going back every year.
