Beach Trip: November 2010

After Thanksgiving this past year, Gary's extended family all went down to the Coastal Retreat Center. It was so much fun! Mary and Sarah even joined us from Atlanta! I didn't do a great job of documenting the whole trip because Eli was very clingy and kept running a fever on and off the whole weekend. He even puked all over the bed Friday night causing us to search out the laundry facilities! Eli ended up having mono! He was a good sport and enjoyed the trip! We are so fortunate to be able to watch our children grow up with all of our family!

Caedyn, Cassidy, and Eli waited patiently while we packed three cars Friday morning!

On Saturday Sabrina helped the kids make adorable snowmen ornaments with their handprints. It really comes in handy having two kindergarten teachers in the family! I only got a picture of Eli and none of the final product, but they were adorable!

On Saturday afternoon, we let the kids get all wet in the ocean. It wasn't warm, but not too terribly cold either. They had fun playing in the sand too!
Our best attempt at getting the whole beach crew! We were missing Ashley and Hunter didn't go down to the ocean with us, but this is everyone else.
