The trip started out with a very early flight. The girls had fun coloring, using stickers, reading books and watching a few movies. On the way home they both slept for 3 out of the 4 hours on the last leg.
This is how we spent most mornings... playing on the beach. ALL of the kids loved it and it was hard to keep them away. Laurel would have spent the entire week jumping waves if it were up to her.
We had most of the beach to ourselves.
Maya wasn't quite as excited about the waves, but she ventured out a few times.
Digging, digging, digging. The fun never ends.
More swimming, more jumping.
We ventured to Cypress Gardens. It was a really fun place for the kids... we started out in a Butterfly Garden with the butterflys flying all around us.
The little girls were watching out for alligators (and according to them, hippos as well).
We took a boat ride through the swamp on a lookout for alligators.
Cousins and best buds.
Maya and Grandma on the boat.
The whole crew.
Granny Pat told a nightly story to the fourth generation. The older kids really got into it and looked forward to it each evening. You can see them listening and fully concentrating in the next few pictures.
They would talk anyone they could into reading them a story.
Three silly naked girls. It was fun to watch them play together now that they are getting older. I am excited to watch their relationships grow. We think we've already nailed their personalities... time tell us if we are right!
Games!
Snuggles!
The house had a playground, which was great when the house was filled with little ones who needed to get their pent up energy out.
And we spent an afternoon playing in the fountains in downtown Charleston.
We couldn't ask for a better family! Grandpa and Adam... you were missed and remain in our hearts always.
