You try getting three kids to look at the camera AND smile!

But they're still cute!

Fun on the water ...

Again this year we rented a pontoon boat. We love getting out on the water! This year we rented a jet ski for the entire time we had the boat too. It was a lot of fun - Austin was surprised when I drove it, I'm not the chicken he thought I was!


Cameron wasn't at all interested in getting on the jet ski ... until he saw his sister do it.

Then he HAD to do it. They had fun, Kennedy was bored :)

Cameron feels at home on a boat ...

So does Cohen ... maybe a future purchase for us???




We beached the boat for some sand time and lunch. Just look at everyone ... waiting for lunch to be "served". Poor mom ... when does SHE get a vacation??

One of the most beautiful places on earth ...

Seaside, Florida ... especially when you're with your family!

Happy Birthday Granpa ...

We miss you!

Memories ...

My laptop is still dead (Austin is putting in my new hard drive as I type on his desktop!) ... but I'm going thru withdrawal and I had to add some pics from vacation!

For those of you that didn't know - the tornado/water spout that we saw on the beach wasn't the end of the bad weather. Of our 5/6 days there ... only 2 were good beach days. It was a bummer, but we still managed to still make some good memories.

As always - we started off as a huge caravan ...

We hit the beach IMMEDIATELY and Cohen got to put his feet in the ocean for the first time!

Of course, mom tried to carry WAY too much too and from the beach!

Dad drove the pontoon - it was a BLAST!

Austin smiled for one of the 411 pictures that I took (imagine if we had more beach time - it would've been more like 1400 pics!)

Kelly enjoyed a book, but didn't get to finish it due to the lack of beach time :(

Keith FINALLY got to rent his jet ski!

Bryan tried oysters - YUCK!

Kristan made us all smile - making a tire swing look glamorous :)

Cameron enjoyed the beach as usual.

Kennedy made a new friend.

And Cohen made looking gorgeous look easy!
