I am so deeply grateful for this family and the fact that every 2 years we make a reunion happen. Its bold and daring and takes that long to execute because we all live in states spread across the US. But when we arrive onshore at out next beach vacation and spend the week together I am reminded of how fortunate we all really are.
This year Grandpa and Grandma found an amazing spot down in Gulf Shores Alabama. I would never have thought Alabama a destination spot, but it was amazing! Our house was 3 condos all connected together. All the parents had rooms and all the kids found some roomates. It was grand.
We celebrated Grandpa's birthday while at the beach. Melissa bought a cake and we sang to him at The Hangout. This restaurant was wild. Live music, DJ and a lot of crowd participation. Bob even got selected and won the Best Dad award.
Evie did a ton of fun stuff with all of her cousins. When Lily wasn't at the beach she was reading. Of course she was.
Two of the girls practiced backflips with some help.
And kids played Grandpas favorite sport....baseball!
When not at the beach I found a local crossfit and had a week of doing what I love.
We missed having Daniel, Laura, Ezra, and Emmy with us this summer, but look forward to the next time we all can meet down on the beach.
