The Palmers: Beach Vacation 2009

We had the BEST beach vacation in Seaside, FL. We were there just the 4 of us for a week and stayed at the exact same house we stayed in last year! It was great to have Brett home with us for that long and to be away with nothing to do except play! We took advantage of some fabulous weather and spent our days lounging and playing at the beach and splashing in the pool at our beach house. It was a super fun week! I have SO many pictures to share, so I just picked a few of my favorites! Enjoy!

After a long car ride, we let the kids run on the beach to check-out the ocean. We tried to keep them dry, but they had other plans! :)

Run!!!

My sweet Ansley xxoo :)

So much for not getting wet! :)

Ansley liked the ocean, but was really into the sand!

Ansley at the beach...

She LOVED being buried!

Had a few face plants into the sand! :)

Enjoyed the beach more than the ocean...

Love this smile...

She even took a nap a few times!!!

Sully at the beach...

Loved swimming out to the sandbar!

Sully met a new friend, C.T., and they played really well together!

Sully spent many hours collecting water and dumping it in the sand or on castles...he loved it!

Swam all by himself out to the sandbar with me and Brett.

We built MANY caves and castles for all of Sully's various animals! Even at the beach, Sully still wants to play with "all the animals" :) :)

Our private pool in the back of our beach house...

Sully could swim across the whole pool by himself! I was SO proud! :)

My silly boys!

I think Ansley's favorite part of the whole trip was all the times we played in the pool. She would jump in and get out, jump in and get out over and over again. She LOVED it!

xxoo

A few of my favorites from various adventures during the week...

My kids were without clothes a lot through out the week...Ansley climbed up on the table on the back porch and was dancing. Had to snap a shot before getting her down. :)
