The Beach

We had our annual beach vacation with Dan's family a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderful! We spent 5 days in Fort Morgan, soaking up some sun and enjoying each other's company. The weather was beautiful and still warm enough to get in the pool and the ocean. We fit so much into a week and yet, it was a very relaxing trip!
(Warning...picture overload!)

The kids played around the house...
(And the girls did a few crafts. We made these blankets for the kiddos!)


Will and Andrew were so happy to spend the week with Kate. It was really funny how inseparable Will and Kate were most of the week.

We hung out at the pool...

We also spent lots of time on the beach...
Will and Jabo built this great sandcastle.

And then Will demolished it! (That's where the fun is right?)

Will was a little intimidated by the waves and the ocean. He was not interested in getting in the water...at all! Nor did he want anyone else to get in the waves. However, with a little coercion, Jabo was able to get him closer...then touching the water...and eventually walking on the sand-bar.

But only for a minute! Then he was very ready to head back to land.

Andrew, on the other hand, needed a little more fear.

He walked chest high in the waves and squealed with delight when the waves came in and almost covered him! Yikes! What am I going to do with him?

I love this picture of Kate! It sums up her feelings on the beach that day! :)

My favorite picture of Will-man!

And other ones from the week...

My favorite picture of Andy! (And probably my favorite of the whole trip.)

And others...


One day, while Gigi, Kelly, Kate, Andrew, and I shopped at the outlet, Will got to play golf with Jabo and Dan! Will was so excited to spend the day with the "big mans!"

Dan said that if Jabo took a drink of water, Will took a drink. If Jabo took off his sunglasses, so did Will. He loves being one of the guys.

Thanks for such a fun vacation, Gigi and Jabo! We can't wait until next time!
