Everybody in the Pool

So, we're back home. Have been since Saturday. Sadly, Sean's six week vacation has come to a close. I'm in denial. It was more than glorious to have him around all the time. I don't even remember how to take care of children by myself anymore. Fortunately, I still have lots of vacation photos to display so maybe that happy-go-lucky feeling can linger a bit longer.

I never really introduced our Family Reuion (yes, "reuion," following the tradition of our mispelled T-shirts from our first reunion), did I? Well, we all went to Destin, FL for a week. And it was lovely. We all stayed in a big house with a pool, just a little jaunt from the beach. Sounds divine, doesn't it? You're right.

I think the pool was just as big a hit as the beach. Kids were in it all day, every day. I think Dash and Liam even preferred it to the beach.

See Dash just soaking in the little mini-pool?

Sean got a sunburn on the first day. And of course Liam does his Superman arm.

Speaking of Superman, look how Noah lifts a resting Uncle Bubba. Impressive.

Anyway, the boys weren't quite as splashy as they had been in the hot tub in CO. They just liked to look around, take it all in.

Or play with the pool toys.

Olivia provided some bubbles which Dash very much enjoyed.

This was a requested photo by Ethan to put on the blog. Done, sir.

Oh, look who lost a tooth!

Sweet Naomi hanging poolside.

A little monkey-boy.

Mom wouldn't let me take a picture of her in curlers so she stuck her hat on. Don't be mad, mom.

Matt had a good ol' time.

Goggles, that's the way to go! We all just loved that pool. (also, I super love this photo)
