Family Beach Trip 2012

We spent the week before Memorial Day with my family at the beach.  Brannon's family booked a trip for the same week and since we couldn't be in two places at one time, we split our time between the two.  We had the most beautiful weather and the ocean was perfect, almost like a swimming pool!  We stayed in a 10 bedroom house right on the beach.  It was perfect!  This was the first year Brannon and I agreed we felt rested and felt like we had actually been on a vacation!  The girls loved being in the ocean, especially Caroline!  Anna Grant doesn't really like the sand and would rather read a book but Caroline doesn't mind playing in it.  Both girls had a blast in the pool, and it was great getting to be with cousins for a week!  We had not seen Colin and Carleigh since December. We were all sad when the week was over!

Our annual tradition.  It was a little hard to write full names this year because some seaweed had washed up on shore.
