6 Adults, 3 College Girls, 14 kids...

Back in January we had decided that we were going to the beach for vacation, and had gotten together with some friends to come with us. So, the Parkers and their 6 kids +1 friend, the Roughleys and their 3 kids and us decided to vacation together. We also thought it would be smart and nice to bring along some college girls for the trip as well. So, we did and were able to find a 3 story house to rent for the week. Seems crazy I know...but really NOT crazy at all!

So we took off back in June (feels like forever ago) heading out on a Friday night at 10:00 PM for the beach with some of our friends. Here's the thing about car trips with our family, the kids normally DON'T sleep AT ALL or VERY LITTLE while on trips. So, to say that I was nervous about leaving at 10:00 PM was an understatement. But to my disbelief, the kids slept pretty much ALL night, only waking occassionally when we stopped to go to the bathroom, etc. Then they would get back in the car and go to sleep...AMAZING!!!

Here we are on the road...Magan went with us this year, how blessed we are to have her love on our kids and want to go to the beach with us for the week. Who am I kidding, a college kid gets a free trip to the beach, who wouldn't want to do that? :)

Here is pretty much what we saw most of the time...the back of cars, at this point it was the Roughleys that were leading the pack...

Once the sun came up and we were still in the car it was movie, coloring and just hanging out time...The kids did GREAT in the car, I mean we couldn't have asked for a better trip down there.

Once we arrived in Destin, we had a little bit of time to wait for our house to be finished so we took advantage of the beach, and let the kids play...

Just 2 short years before this, Bailey wouldn't even touch the sand hardly with her feet...fast forward 2 years, and she was our little fish...
