Family Vacation

We just got back from a week in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida with some friends of ours, Mike and Kelly, and their children, Ryan and Ava. We had a great time despite the fact that I took two trips to the Urgent care...Morgan had an ear infection and both Will and Morgan ended up with Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease.

These pics are of the kids just goofing around at the condo. It wasn't a huge place so the four kids were kind of climbing all over each other all week but they loved every second of it.

The majority of the time was spent enjoying the sun, sand, and water. Will had a blast playing with all the toys in the sand with Ryan and Ava. They even got their dads to dig a huge hole and tunnel in the sand one of the days (of course I forgot the camera that day).

The weather was really nice for the majority of the trip but we had 2 rainy days that made the kids go a little crazy. To prevent the adults from going insane as well as the kids, we tried to find things for them to do. The men took the older kids to the Air Force museum one day and then we all went to a really neat Children's Science museum the other day. They loved them both because they could touch all the cool stuff!

On the last day we were there the guys decided they wanted to golf. Kelly and I didn't think we could handle all 4 kids at the beach by ourselves so we decided to take them to this really neat outdoor playground. All the toys are made of this soft rubber so they can climb all over them without getting hurt.
