Beach Fun!

This little boy is just full of joy. :)

This was taken before 6am. Read on to find out why.

Trevor looks terrified because he thought a wave was going to hit us as we had this pic taken.

It was beautiful...

Trevor tried to grab the sun before it set...

Buried in the sand...

We had the best time together as a family...

Somebody chucked a bunch of sand into Aila's face...

This little girl absolutely cracks me up...

Trevor was all about jumping from the ottoman to the couch...

I do not know what was going on with Aila Baila down in Florida, but she always woke up REALLY early. She and I took several early morning walks together, and even watched the sun come up as we walked on the beach.

Good thing she always remembered to rinse her feet off after a good beach walk...

She also loved to play in the sprinklers. Also at the crack of dawn!
Notice she's in her jammies.

This was the house. Yeah.

There were 7 children in the house (Ethan-4, Arden-4, Trevor-3, Ella-2, Finn-2, Aila-16 months, Anna-9 months), so things were lively! Here the kids are in the elevator (yes, there was an elevator in the house)...

Krispy Kreme Justin and Krispy Kreme Joe made a special delivery...

Chris, Justin and Joe got to go deep sea fishing and caught 25 pounds of red snapper. So guess what we ate for dinner that night? They really seemed to have a blast--even with a bit of seasickness, they loved being out on the water. I think it was a highlight of the trip!

Gummy worms!

Here's a difference between our two children. Trevor likes to stick one toe in the water, check things out slowly, steer clear of fire...

...and then there's Aila.

What a wonderful time. :)
