Beach Favs

We're back from a week at the beach! Our first vacation as a family of four :) The last vacation we took was 2 summers ago to Lake Jocassee (since Adrienne was born last summer). We look forward to many more great adventures! I tried to pick just a few pictures, but kept finding more that I like. Hope you enjoy!

The kids on the steps from the beach house down to the beach.

Adrienne loves the sand, sun, wind, and water!

(And tasting the gourmet seashells)

Beach babe.

Ethan in the dunes.

She loves it all!

Mommy and Adrienne Jason coming down the drop-off slide. We (Jason and I) went to a waterpark with the girls and Phil for a few hours - Thanks to Jena and Janna for watching the kids!

The 4 of us went to Alligator Adventure and saw TONS of gators, snakes, frogs, lizards, etc. Ethan, Jason, and Mr. Alligator posing for a picture.

We saw a feeding session. Some BIG gators!

Adrienne and the girls - Katie, Kara, Laura, and Kelsey

Surfer boy. Learning to board.

Finally loving the water

(It took til Thursday for him to warm up to it, then he didn't want to do anything else!)

I have some cute videos too, but can't get blogger to upload them! Will keep trying.
