our vacation in a (nut)shell

Well, the storm is coming just in time for us to leave in the morning. We had takeout from the Crab Trap--absolutely mouth-watering! And tonight we plan to swim (inside) and pack.

So far, Carter, Parker and Michelle have all had fevers, Lainey has had some kind of unbelievable constipation problem, Peyton has lost and found his DS a total of 17 times and Shawn has won three raquetball games (to Cory's two). Cory can no longer drink Bahama Mama's (he's too old), Shawn plans to finish his bucket-o-margaritas tonight, and we have learned that four cases of beer lasts four adults for four days.

And today, we found some really cool shells. . . .

perfect vacation pictures

Capturing those perfect pictures are impossible for me. . .

My advice: vacation with a great photographer!

rest and relaxation

I was thinking today about R & R.
I am not sure 'rest and relaxation' is exactly how you would describe this year's vacation, but it SURE was fun! We head home Sunday if the tropical storm doesn't send us that way sooner. . .

it's a jungle out there

These are some pictures that I have had for awhile . . . I saw the new mommy this weekend and remembered how much fun I had doing their room. Amber says they still LOVE their room and won't be painting over it until Hunter is at least 16. We'll see!
