Florida Vaca for Labor Day!

This weekend we headed down to Florida for our annual Labor Day Trip to get together with Brandon's college buddies. This was the first year that anyone had kids and we brought them all along with us! There were four kiddos: Bella was the oldest, Wade, who is one month younger than Bella, and Briarly who is 8 months, and Margery who is 3 months. We had an absolute blast catching up and hanging out!

With the 5 couples and 4 kids schedules were a little different for everyone. I am looking at all the pictures I took and there's not one picture of anyone besides Bella and a few of Brandon! I guess that's just how crazy it was! It was more of a hassle to remember to take pictures, but now I'm so sad! Anyway, Bella LOVED the beach, the waves, the water toys, and the snacks!





Pushing the stroller became a favorite activity one day! Who needs buckets and shovels on the beach when you have a stroller?


We found a cute little starfish one day. We thought about keeping it, but than heard they can be pretty smelly if you don't properly preserve them so we let it go. We saw it again each though! There were lots of birds, dolphins, and even a manatee supposedly that were spotted.

I can't get over how cute little feet are in the sand! I was so thankful for such a fun first ocean experience with Bella! She's so adventuresome!
