Beach Trip 2012

We took a much needed family vacation to the beach a couple of weeks ago.  We had a cozy little condo directly on the gulf in Fort Morgan.  Monday and Tuesday could not have been more perfect.  Wednesday it rained all day ~ of course, on the day my Mom and Sammy came to visit :(  It stopped by 4pm but the gulf was so rough that afternoon as well as the rest of the week we couldn't let the girls back in to play on their boogie boards and so they were quite disappointed about that.  Overall, though, it was a wonderful trip.  I always enjoy our time on the beach!!!

The family :)  A true blessing :)

Boogie Boarding ~ their favorite part (Charles and I got in on the action too, and it was fun)

Star gazing.  We have been studying about the Milky Way, the moon , stars and constellations, so this was a great way to reinforce all of that.

The girls slept on bunk beds built into the wall.....they thought this was great!
