Summer Vacation 2009

Unfortunately we did not get a summer vacation squeezed in this year. It probably should have been priority, but between Brent's Mission Trip in May, Baylor's baseball season that lasted from April until July, and the birth of our 5th child (and add in a little tight budget) it just fell to the way side. So when the opportunity came for us to go to the beach for the long weekend we jumped at the chance. My brother and his family live there and they added a little baby girl to their family in November. We had not gotten to meet her yet, and this was the PERFECT opportunity.

So we packed up and headed to the beach. We got to stay at a HUGE house courtsey of some family friends who needed Brent to look at it for possibly adding some stucco to it. Unfortunately, we went during one of the only cold spells of the year that Florida gets. The teps did not get above 50 and the winds were gusting over 40 miles an hour. My toes did not touch the sand... but my hands got to hold my precious 2 month old niece (a little... when Nommie would put her down). We did have a good time together, I just wish it were more often.
