Summer 2014 - Seaside, Florida Vacation

Hi everyone!

It's been awhile since I posted on here.  After my Biggest Loser competition came to an end, I need to take a breather.  Honestly I felt kind of lost afterwards, not having something scheduled every single minute of my day! But I needed a break. And so I... actually "we" took one!

We drove down to Seaside, Florida (17 hours over 2 days) for a few days of fun and sun and a whole lot of relaxation.  I hope you don't mind but I took a couple of pictures to share with you all.  Fair warning there are alot of pictures.  Actually consider yourself lucky I only uploaded these because I took 550 pictures. Enjoy!




We spent alot of time running in the waves. I tried running but my ankle has not healed enough since I hurt it a few months ago.


Some of us perfected our handstands...

Summer is not complete without a handstand from Haley.


Some of us looked for shells...


And found "pets"...

Haley had found a hermit crab and was showing it to Grannie and Sydney. She put it back in the water after a few minutes.


Anthony found a toad one day and named him "Howard". He looks like a Howard right? They took turns squishing holding him, until poor Howie broke free and hopped away for his life.



 Those eyes... Be still my heart!


 Sydney is growing into a beautiful young lady.


With a constant photobomber...


This cutie is growing up way too fast, too. I can't believe she started grade 9 today.


 When on vacation, hubby rarely shaves. We always worry about tan lines.



We were able to check off a bunch of things off of our Summer Bucket List!

Kids are back in school as of today, and I think we are all looking forward to getting back into our daily routine.

What fun things did you do this summer? Did you get away anywhere this summer?
