I am way behind in this blog thing. When I started my goal and aim was to record memories and thoughts relating to my family. I wanted a way to look back over all our family memories. So were going to play catch up.
In April we went on our first vacation as a family since last summer. We were all anticipating the beach and time as a family! We went to Panama City beach with Ben's parents, sister, brother and his girlfriend Sarah. We stayed in a 3 bedroom condo that was really nice and was a great reminder of the amount of space you really need in life. The beach was very pretty, we had a balcony facing the ocean. This ended up being a really wonderful trip, lots of good quality time with everyone.
Some quick highlights:
- A wonderful date with Ben we ate at Los Antojitos (which was AMAZING) and had a fun drive in Duane's convertible. We had many laughs that night.
- We celebrated Lucy's 3rd birthday.
- Saw the condo that I grew up going in as a child with my family, this brought back very sweet memories.
- Took the kids for ice cream one afternoon.
- Jack loved flying the kite and he insisted on letting all the string out, it was flying higher than our 25 story condo. He then let it go, after he wreaked havoc on the beach we caught the kite!!!
- The kids all took many turns pushing elevator buttons, Ben and I didn't touch one elevator button all week.
- Sam loved the beach for about 30 minutes then was done.
- We spent a lot of time in the pool, the favorite thing to do was to go in the pool then run to the hot tub and back in the pool.
- Lot's of great time with grandparents!
- Sam had some great backpack time with dad.
