Summer Vacation: The Beach!

We haven't been to the beach since Heather was causing a great upheaval in my poor little body. Who knew such a small (not even as big as a penny) creature could make someone's life so miserable! I am talking of course of morning sickness. So our last time at the beach I spent most of the time lying on the beach wishing I could get up and play, but knowing if I did, I would lose my breakfast. This time? We had so much more fun! I did not have the luxury of lying on the beach, but I don't regret it one bit. :) The kids needed every bit of our attention. And they had SO much fun! Daniel and I did too! Here are some of our favorite photos.

Racing to get into the water!

One of my first successful "selfies." Be proud. :)

Heather had as much fun in the sand as she did in the water!

Proud of her work. 

On our second day, we sat out a torrential downpour (no lightning or thunder...don't worry mom!). Since we were already wet, no one seemed to mind too much. It was so beautiful.

Summer Vacation: Savannah

We recently returned home from a very nice vacation to Georgia. We had a blast! We went to Savannah first, and started off by doing the River walk after we arrived in the evening. It was a great way to stretch our legs after 12 hours in the car. The next day we did a self-guided walking tour. We had a great time learning about the history of Savannah and seeing all the old and incredibly beautiful sites. Also, the weather was perfect, and the kids were great sports. We couldn't have had it better!

...And all the photos are gone from this post. I've been working on it for a few days! I'm a little angry right now. Grr... Sometimes I hate blogger. So I will re-post the photos, but I am not going to re-add the captions...sorry. I just don't have that kind of time. 


River Walk (sorry the photos are so dark...it was getting dark when we got there):
