Here We Are and Vacation update

Its been a long time since my last blog entry. My new computer wouldn't allow me to open blogger to update. However, I did my own problem solving and figured in out. . . finally. I have a lot of catching up to do, but I will start with our latest adventures. . . our trip to Panama City Beach.
We were there from the 15th to the 23rd.  My brother David and his girlfriend Vicki joined us from California and we are so glad they did. They, on the other hand, were probably ready to get back. My two kiddos can wear you out quickly-haha! This year we stayed at Sunrise Beach Resort. It was really nice and we managed to all fit into our 2 1/2 room condo. We had almost perfect weather except for the extreme heat. We even saw a manatee! He pretty much cleared the ocean out. People were running for the shoreline at the first glance of the huge, dark, object moving through the ocean about 20 yards away!
During our stay this time, we had lots of fun eating at some yummy restaurants such as Sharkeys, Shuckums, and Calypso. We also had a group of our friends down staying the same condo which added a extra touch of excitement for my girls. The girls had an exciting experience of "cwab" hunting at night one night. And, I think we caught the grandaddy of all sand crabs! He was huge! I didn't have my camera with me that night, so I missed out on capturing those images. I was very sad to see the trip come to an end. It always goes by so darn fast. We created such wonderful memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful family!
Instead of posting all our pictures individually, I attached a website link. These pictures are so fun and really convey all the fun we had on our trip. Enjoy!
