We are home and all wishing we were still on the beach. What a wonderful vacation we had! God blessed us with safe travels, health, lots of laughter, fun and adventure. It was so relaxing, and we made some wonderful memories with my dad, his wife and Lyndsey who does respite for us but has become part of the family. Here is just a tiny tidbit of our trip; we came home with over 1500 pictures! We are now back into the swing of things and the kids are happy to see their friends. Baseball, weight lifting and football conditioning, babysitting and summer camps are what it’s all about now with the typical summer sleeping in, friends here all the time and swimming. It’s hard to believe that two months from tomorrow starts the new school year. For now we will enjoy these lazy days and pack in as much fun as we can.

I found this tip before we left and a snow sled turned out to be the perfect transportation for Ryan on the beach
We were definitely “on the beach” and loved every minute of it!

So gad u r home safe. I know the weather made u evacuate….at least that is what we heard. BUT you haven’t mentioned leaving early…how early and how close were u to affects of the weather???
I was so glad to see the pics of the fabulous family fun you had. Made my heart happy that you were able to experience that and make the family memories for the kids I know you crave. Miss you all so much. We had quite the conversation about Travis last night. Nath’s friends might think he’s a really crazy man now… just saying.
What great pictures you shared with us all and so glad you had a great time on your trip. I remember , though I was never there when my oldest son was station At Scott Air Force in IL that they use to go to Six Flags with their 2 girls and friends.
Have fun this summer all of you and God Bless.
Praying,
Delores
