FLORIDA

We just got back from Palm Coast, Florida. A small town just 15 minutes south of St. Augustine, Florida. To say it was dreamy would be a complete understatement. We stayed in a beach house right on the beach and spent most of our time sitting on the beach, enjoying the sand, water, and beautiful Florida sun. All four of Sterling's brothers, and dad met up down there. We had fun with all the family and the boys had an absolute blast with their cousins.

Gouverneur hates sitting on the grass so we were excited to see how he'd do with sand. It was a hit. He sat and played all day. I'm pretty sure he ate a few bucket loads of sand on the first day but at least he was happy. After that, he was happy to play with a bucket of water and some toys.

Dellin loved the beach but we already knew he would.

Gouverneur loved chasing this ball in and out of the waves.

Some of the cousins digging in the sand. Lot of sand castles were made and lots of treasure was searched for.

Enjoying the water with Marci's sisters and kids. The water was the perfect temp. I could have stayed out there all day.

The boys did a lot of fishing although not as much they'd wish they had. We had some stormy nights which made shark fishing not very easy. Here are some of the boys with the bait fish. Little Man was obsessed with bait fish the whole trip.

Spencer kayaking out the bait fish. You've got to get it out there far if you want to catch the big stuff.

This little baby was the extent of the sharks. It was a nice size for Little Man to touch. Sterling's sunblock mustache in this picture is beyond awesome.

We had a good amount of rain while we were there. Enough to keep us cooled off but not enough to ruin the trip. One night we had some serious lighting. Here is one of the cool pictures Sterling took.

Grandpa Fillmore did fun devotionals with the kids most nights. He has a way of capturing the kids full attention. We're so glad he came.

We had a fabulous vacation. Nothing is more relaxing than sitting at the beach with the family. The boys had so much fun with their cousins. It was a sad day when we all went home.

The best part for me was that my morning sickness stopped the day we got there. It took 20 weeks this time, but it's gone.
