Family Vacay 2013 - Port A!

We took our first ever full family vacation this summer! We rented a beach house in Port A - 12 adults and 4 kids - all in one house! We had a 6 bedroom 6 bath house - so every family had their own bathroom. The house was a great size and gave all of us plenty of room to not feel like we were on top of each other. It was an absolute blast! Getting all of the kids together and spending so much time with everyone was awesome! 

Let me tell you one thing  - now that there are kids involved, vacations have changed :) No more sleeping in and waking up to a relaxing cup of coffee! 6am and the kids are up and ready to go and running all over the house! But honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way! They had so much fun and it was so great to be around all of them for so long! They definitely kept us entertained with their endless chatter :)

Here is one of my favorite pictures! Trey, Liam and I were walking down the beach when we hear this little voice screaming our name and running after us :) Ellie comes running up, grabs my hand and asks if she can walk with us! 

Liam's first vacation was a huge success! He did so great! He slept so well, ate well, and kept everyone smiling with his baby talk and cute dimples! He LOVES to be talked to, so that's what everyone did and he smiles ear to ear and chats back and forth with you! It's so cute! Here he is chatting it up with Lauri!

Liam's first time swimming!

And his first time at the beach!

My mom bought Liam and Cash matching outfits to wear on the trip! They looked so cute!

And she also bought the girls matching dresses so we could get at least one cute group pic,of all the kids!

One night the grandparents offered to keep the kids so all of us could go out! It was much needed and a blast!!
