BEACH TRIP!!

So we went on our yearly beach trip this year. This was our 11th year going and Kevins family has been all going close to 15 years. We had a blast... like we always do. We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel though with this trip getting easier and easier as the kids get older and older. We started off the week with ALOT of swimming in the pool and then some in the ocean. They like the pool better b/c no burning salt water in the eyes. The 3 little girls discovered how much they liked to play in the sand with buckets and shovels. The boys had a good time fishing with their dad. One day we all went fishing and Megan got to catch a fish. So to give you a little overview of how we our days went. We woke up and went to the pool pretty much right when we got ready... Stayed there for a couple hours and then went back to the hotel to eat lunch. Then I would lay the babies down for a nap and Papa watched them while they napped. This gave Kevin and I time to spend with the older kids. One day Kevin took the boys fishing and Megan and I had the pool to ourselves. There was no one else there, so it was nice. Then after nap we got the girls ready to swim again for a little bit... or we would go somewhere. We went to coldstone creamery, saw the movie Up and ate out at Applebees with the whole family! Then there is dinnertime. This is no ordinary dinnertime. There is generally about 40 of us that gather for dinner nightly and 1 person has 1 night to cook. Then you are off for the rest of the week. After dinner we would sometimes go watch the sunset while the kids buried each other and played in the sand and then most nights we went back to the pool after the sunset! It is amazing how much you can fit in a weeks time. So if you did not already know how much fun we have every year... Now ya do! :-)
