An Island Get Away

What can beat a vacation at the beach, surrounded by family and beautiful weather, with plenty of reason to relax and enjoy? We went for a week with my parents and four of my siblings along with their families. It's true that a group of twenty people is a lot to manage, but we all had a wonderful time! We love get-aways like this, and look forward to the next time we can all get together again! It is definitely one of Genevieve's favorite places now. I can't blame her!

Brooks, worn out at church, by all of the playing at the beach and pool the day before.

Happy fourth of July!

The view from our hotel room. Gorgeous!

Nap time in paradise!

A night out just for the adults.

This was the normal dinner "party" routine. We rotated nights cooking for everyone and gathered by the beach side. This particular picture was from Brooks's birthday, so Genevieve made sure that she was dressed appropriately for a party. I love this girl!

What a great trip! Thank you, Mom and Dad, for such a wonderful time and memories!
