Family Vacation

This summer we planned our first "family vacation" to Seaside/Watercolor, Florida. We haven't ever taken a "restful" vacation as a family and decided that we needed to make that a priority. We have been anticipating this vacation for months and it was absolutely AMAZING! We felt like God has speaking to our family about this being a season of rest and this was the perfect way to start that out. We brought my parents along for a little help and stayed in the perfect home steps from the pool and beach.

Beautiful Halle Beth
Halle's first trip to the beach was a success. She enjoyed the beach thoroughly sitting with Champ. She took great naps along the pool and even slept great at night. She is such a JOY to each of us!

Port Robert
This kid gets more fun every day! He loved riding the waves, looking for crabs, swimming, riding bikes, and anything else we could come up with.
Ella Rose
Although she is not a big fan of HOT weather, she made the best of it:-) She loved playing in the sand, but you couldn't quite keep her buried. She loved sitting on the steps of the pool, but her favorite was the showers. She gets more beautiful everyday!
Haynes Cole
When we got to the beach Haynes just laid down like..."this is heaven!" My thoughts exactly!!! He is quite the little swimmer and became quite the diver by the end of our trip. Love him more every single day!
Love of my life
I love this man more every single day! He planned every single detail of our trip so that it would be perfect for us. It was the most restful vacation I have ever taken and I give him all the credit. He loves everyone of our kids individually well and me the best of all. I can't imagine walking through life with anyone else.
