Vacation...

Oh what a wonderful week! We headed down to the beach and had a relaxing do nothing kind of time.  (The best kind if you ask me!) What a wonderful way to spend time together. I think know I could have stayed there forever and ever. The girls had the best time. They made sand castles, saw all kinds of wildlife (including gators, sharks, jellyfish and bunnies), went fishing and crabbing, they slept so good and ate more than usual. The sun, wind, sand and water wore them out every single day. They were so sweet and good. They amazed me with their caring....they saved so many sea creatures including crabs, sand dollars, starfish, and poked lots of jellyfish with sticks.  They must have rescued a hundred star fish and sand dollars! They were not afraid of anything and enjoyed showing off their mad beach skills. Here are just a few of the bijillion photos that I took. Enjoy!


Posing for Mom...they get so irritated sometimes :)

Very cool sand castle we saw on the beach.
