The Palmers: Beach Trip 2008

Hello! We just got back from an amazing week at the beach down in Seaside, Florida. It was such a fun week with the kids and Brett. It was a week for just the four of us to hang out and really have fun with nothing to worry about. Ansley and Sully had a blast and we were sad to come home. We were lucky that Tropical Storm Fay didn't hit until Saturday when we left...it made for a rainy trip home, but not a drop of rain during our time at the beach, so it was the perfect week! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the week. We have so many, it is impossible to put them all up, but these pictures capture all the fun from the week. Enjoy!

We found a little Sully crab in the sand....we decided to take him home with us!

Ansley really loved the beach. She loved going in the water and loved it when we would stand her up and let the water rush around her legs and feet. She was a really fun baby this trip. She has started saying "ma ma" and she was really giggly all week. She has also become quite vocal and will make loud noises to get our attention or to imitate us when we talk.

Sully at the beach

Sully was like a little fish in the water this year. He would wear his goggles and stand in the water up to his shoulders and wait for the waves to come in. When one would get close, he would go under water and try to ride the wave in. He was swimming so well and was so independent in the water. He seemed so old to me on this trip. He is really growing up fast!

Sully and Ansley

Sully was a very sweet, big brother to Ansley this trip. It is so cute to see how much they really love each other. What a blessing it is for them to have each other...siblings are so fun...I can't wait to see how they interact as they get older.

So sweet!

I think this might be a first...I actually had a lot more pictures of me with the kids this time and not Brett (sorry Brett!) At least now there is some record that I exist! haha
