We have been so excited for our family trip this year. With the new job, we haven’t seen much of Josh, and we are all looking forward to getting away for a couple of days. So as soon as Ethan’s last half day of school was out, we were on the road! Once we got there, we unloaded and changed, then headed to the beach. The weather wasn’t looking very promising so we wanted to get out there before the storm hit! I apologize for the pictures, they were a little dark. *There are a lot of pictures in this post!*






Look at that storm rolling in!! It was the coolest cloud coverage we had ever seen. Wish I had taken a picture.
Day 2’s weather was nice and all the kids were so excited. Unfortunately, Ryan and Jenny had car trouble which sent Jenny on a goose chase all over the island looking for parts. Eventually, Chris got the car fixed, but at the expense of Jenny missing most of the day on the beach with us (which left me to take pictures with my awesome camera...LOL). We had some trouble with jellyfish, I think 4 different people got stung, and several had some chafing going on. By late afternoon, the kids were done and ready for dry clothes. 



















Here is Ainsley with a rub from the lifeguard for her jellyfish sting.



Jacob was so excited about this kite!

Our group this year, minus Mike and Kristina. We missed you guys!! Next year, we are determined to have the WHOLE group there!
