My dad and his wife, Kim, have taken most of my family and gone to Daytona Beach for vacation for the last few years. Ryan and I have never been able to go between getting married and starting school and other things. This year, we were able to work it out to make the trip. It was a lot of fun. My brother's family, my sister's family and my other sister and brother were all there with my Dad and Kim.
The house is in Daytona Beach. It is kind of a crazy area of the world, but we really just stayed at the house the entire time by the pool. We went out to eat a couple of nights, watched movies and TV, and played in the pool most of the day. My nieces and nephews are growing up so so very fast, so I am trying to enjoy every single minute of it.
This is a picture of the back of the house...it faces the intercoastal waterway and has a gorgeous view. We sat on the porch almost all day, every day reading and taking in the view of the water.

On our first day there, Tripp was already relaxing out on this bench :) He deserves a little break...

The other sweet thing is that all my nieces and nephews love each other to pieces. Davis adores Mae Harmon. On morning he decided he just wanted to carry her around the pool. Here is a picture of his achievement..
Then, Mae Harmon was loving it so much and loving him so much, that she decided she just wanted to kiss Davis on his cheek....

My nephew, Acie, had seen a guy in Chicago with a blue mohawk and decided he NEEDED to have a mohawk. Angie wasn't too crazy about the idea but they compromised on night when she fixed his hair like this.....

It was such a great trip. I don't think I had spent that much uninterrupted time with my Dad, ever...which is so crazy. Made me weepy to think of the redeeming work of the Lord in my life and in his life. I am so thankful we were able to share some memories together. God is so good. All things are possible through Him and His grace!!
