Vacation

Vacation was awesome! I had a hard time narrowing down the pictures to put on so they may be kind of random. Our house was beautiful, and believe it or not we think next time we will need a 7 bedroom. The 19 of us got along great!!! The girls had a good time playing together in their secret closet (a walk-in closet on the 3rd floor). I had two afternoons with nothing to do during naps so I just laid out and read my book. Thanks to Jami I had the perfect vacation read. Kurt was able to golf 3 times and some very beautiful courses.

Kathy and Tori by a alligator. They were driving by and saw it coming out of the water, so stopped to take pictures. Tori said it yawned really big. We think the alligator has Rog's blue tooth (ha ha ha)!!!

Kurt and Tori at the top of Harbourside Lighthouse. Tori saw this lighthouse on Tuesday and asked everyday when they could go back to walk up it so Kurt and Kathy took her on
Thursday night and they climbed 114 steps to the top. And they Kurt had to carry her down all 114.

Tori had her 4th b-day while in SC. We celebrated the whole day, starting with daddy's pancakes. We went on a dolphin cruise that afternoon (see pics below) and then a party at the house.

Just a good picture of Alli on the cruise.

They announced Tori's b-day on the cruise and one of the first mates gave her this dolphin as a present. And yes we saw lots of dolphins but the few pics I got were really hard to see. The best was when the dolphins were swimming with our bow and we went to the front of the boat to see them soooo close to us.

Bathing beauties! Our pool was the hit of the week. After about 2 days most the kids wanted to swim in the pool and weren't that interested in the beach. Go figure!

At the beach, we did go down to the beach at least once every day, usually twice a day. The water was very warm and sand cool and the night time walks were so relaxing. In the background you can see our house we are the third tall house from the right.

On our last night walk we were so lucky to see the last of a hatch of baby sea turtles going out to sea. We saw this three years ago and thought it was a once in a lifetime event.

We also all went to have our pictures done professionally on the beach. They were sooo good. I hope you all can see them eventually when I get them.
