Beach Trip

A couple of weeks ago, we had the wonderful opportunity to go to Florida for a few days.  Each year, my aunt and uncle get a house on the beach for a few weeks.  This year, they had enough extra beds for the Hooties, my mom and me to join them for a few days.  My cousin and her two boys were also there from Vermont because it was their winter break.  It had been a few years since we saw them, so it was great to just spend some time getting to know her boys and catching up with her.  It was hard to believe that there were six kids between the ages of 2 and 7, but there was LOTS of laughter and LOTS of playing that happened!!  I am so thankful that we had this opportunity to just go be with family and enjoy God's beautiful creation.  Here are a few pictures from our trip:

Having a BLAST playing in the water

Tobias was in heaven playing with the sand and truck

Rainy day crafting

We have some creative kids

Watching a movie and eating popcorn

When all the cellphones go off warning you of tornadoes, you hang out in the safest spot in the house

Putting puzzles together

Tobias and Aunt Nell

Two tired and haven't yet showered mommas!

When you have someone a little nervous about the possibility of a tornado, you take silly selfies to ease her mind

Sophie and Mimi

Then we played a little Pie Face

Josiah really got it!

Getting ready to head back home, but not before taking a picture wearing our EndIt shirts

When I got home, Chris had this written on his car...we were going out later that night!

So, as you can see we had a fun time hanging out with family making new memories.  Thanks again for inviting us to come for a few days...the kids and I had a BLAST!
