Beach and Pool and a sunset walk

There will be little commentary with this reunion because really the whole point of this location and house was just to hang out together, play together, and enjoy each other.
There was lots of boogy boarding although the waves were nonexistent.
Sand castle building and destroying.
Swimming out to reefs and swimming with the grandparents.

Chasing small crabs in the sand.
And trying to catch small translucent fish.  Ok so that was just hilariously the dads doing that.
Baby napping central in the sun shade.  All 3 baby nephews in one place was heaven for Isla.






And boogy board races with the uncles and grandpa.




Really not much to say just so much fun.
The one unfortunate event of the trip was that because we were going to all be in Florida together instead of scattered across the US, my mom invited both sets of my grandparents who are all still living and all still in Florida to come join us.  Sadly Saturday night just as we were unpacking, my grandma fell down the stairs in the beach house and broke her hip.  She and my grandpa spent the rest of the trip in the hospital and only got to come back for a little bit.
When we were all too tired of the sand we decided it was time for the pool.
And some of us stayed inside on the balcony to watch the cute sunset beach wedding.
The kids were so cute all playing together.  Every single one of them has multiple cousins their age and it's just so neat to see them all playing together.  Some inside...
And some outside at the pool...
I found this fun new app that lets you take videos and then go frame by frame and pick which image you want.  The diving pictures turned out pretty fun.  That's Ethan in the red shorts and Isaac above in the blue shirt.
And Miles in the yellow.


Isla wasn't joining in on the diving but there was a shallow ledge in the pool that she couldn't get enough of.
Cannonball!
Belly flop!
A twist?
Yep, she's found her happy place.
And so have I.
What a perfect way to spend a week together.  And who can argue with walks along the beach at sunset?
