4th of July Week in Florida

Headed to Flagler Beach, Fl for a fun 10 day vacation!

About 7 1/2 hours later we arrive to this :)

And then off to the beach we go!

He's so good at eating with a spoon

We had storms roll in almost every day usually around nap time or in the early afternoon

Morning snuggles on the sofa

He wanted to wear his hat almost all the time on the beach

They loved playing in these tidepools we'd get on the beach

Jackson and Sofia - they are both getting so big!

This guy is there every year the same week as us and he's always fishing. This year the kids helped him out and he would catch a fish and take it off the hook then Sofia or Jackson would take it over and put it in his bucket

Beautiful sunsets!

And midday rainbows

Sometimes I look at Jackson and can't believe he's such a "boy" now. It seems like just yesterday he was a little guy toddling around learning to walk. Now he's all legs and is off running all the time!

The original 4 - Patrick, Jackson, Sofia and Avery

And all the kiddos!

Sparkler fun

Uh-oh! Who gave a 22 month old a sparkler!

Down to the beach to light off fireworks and Chinese lanterns

Super silly boys at breakfast one morning

We went out the beach one morning trying to get some good photos of the boys and also Sofia and the twins

Relaxing while someone feeds him a yogurt tube

Digging holes

Loves to swim!

Jackson jumping waves with Avery and Sofia

He emptied out all the dirty clothes so he could ride in the clothes basket

Storm clouds one day! Good thing we headed inside! It was yucky out!

Eating oranges at Grandpa's house

Trying on Grandpa's hats

Camden loves Uncle John

Bedhead

Another fun year at the beach. We love that the same crew goes every year. And we just keep adding more kids to the mix (well I think we might all be done now). It's definitely not easy being at the beach with little ones but every time we go it gets easier and we always have a good time. We are lucky we have this great condo to go to every year! The guys, including Jackson, went to play golf one morning and the girls all got to go have a nice dinner one night. We spent our days at the pool and beach everyday. We ate at our fave restaurants, Snack Jacks and of course 386 too. We ate in several nights too, grilling hamburgers and having steamed shrimp.
