Painting with Aunt Dawn

Aunt Dawn pulled out everything. She is an art major and they had been waiting for this time with her since before we came to town. She set up easels, paint, canvas' and drop cloths. Then each one of them got to sepnd time by themselves creating with her. They loved it and are very proud of their works of art.

Bedtime routine

Each night since arriving someone has done the bedtime routine. Last night was Uncle Tony. I think it is safe to say they loved it!

Reading and Relaxing

 It has not gotten above 40 degrees here in VA but this has been Evan's attire all day. He is definitely my hot natured boy.

 This is the Massage chair. it works from head to toe. They decided to have a try with Uncle Tony.

  

We all went to bed around 10pm and slept in this morning it has been wonderful.

VA snow

We woke up yesterday and began our journey at 6am. The forecast said rain and possible snow fall in late afternoon. We were going to beat the snow. We didn't beat the snow. It started around 2pm and didn't stop snowing until 10pm. A trip that usually takes a little over ten hours took us nineteen. We never got stuck. We never ran out of gas. We didn't go to the bathroom for 11 hours! It was worth it though because we had a wonderful time in the snow this morning. It is nothing like GA snow. So soft and dry.

Sea Pines has a great tree fort and every year we go to play. We headed that way on our way out of town on Saturday.

Katie set her up for this shot. I love it!!!!!!

We headed to The Salty Dog Cafe for lunch and finally got a family shot.

Almost home and still smiling...I think this is right after we stopped at Chick-fil-a for milkshakes!!!

Biking fun on the island!

We loved our bike rides everyday

This was our last night riding around the island. Singing, talking, taking in the beautiful sights.

Our pirate! ARGH

We are smiling but we are sad because we know the next day we go home.

My safari boy

Beach time

Me and my girl. She is getting so big so fast. Her ability to communicate and make other people feel so special is a treasure that will help her get far in life. She took naps everyday while we were gone. They played so hard and I honestly can't think of one time when they were arguing or fighting. Yeah, it truly was a vacation!

Our baby boy always good for a laugh. He would run around and fall down on purpose just to get a reaction from all of us.

Our neighbors were so sweet. The young lady that came with them had a great time with the kids and spent time looking for sand dollars and other shells. They of course thought she hung the moon.

I didn't hear much from E the entire trip. He was too busy building, jumping, swimming. But best of all he was a Fee Muk-a-eer. That in Evanese is a Three Musketeer. K rented the movie for the trip and he had a great time reenacting the fight scenes. Especially with Auntie Kt one night with the couch pillows. It is hysterical! Love the memories you make on a vacation.

Oh by the way...love Sean's toes in this last pic. He has them pointed like this a lot. :)

What it takes...

... to get to the Beach!! and that doesn't even include the applying of lotion ;)

Pool time

We are here and we are having a GREAT time. The weather has been beautiful and my man has taken me on two dates. Having my sisters with us has given Larry and I the chance to really relax and enjoy the week.
