Vacation!

Well as part of my vacation hangover today I am spending my "space-out" time updating the blog. All I can muster up the energy for today is staring at the computer.

We just returned from a great week in St. Augustine, FL with our little family. Believe it or not, a week with 5 children from 9 months- 6 years and 6 adults was truly relaxing. Our rental house was just steps from the beach but the time at the house just being together was just as enjoyable as the time spent on the beach.

Evangeline had looked forward to this trip and would almost daily ask to go to the beach. It didn't disappoint. She walked right into the ocean the first day but once she felt the power of the waves she got a little scared and wouldn't go near it again voluntarily until the 4th day or so. Her most favorite parts were searching for sea shells and getting as sandy as possible.

Here's a peek at some of my favorite photos so far. More to come most likely.

"How to get a cannonball wound. 'Stand directly in front of a cannon'. How true that is". (had to throw a little Brian Regan in there.

He's hot

One of my favorites, a true depiction of the joy Evangeline has just playing freely in the sand.

We finally got over the fear of the water on the 4th day I think
"I'm swimming"
