Florida

We recently went on a family vacation to Florida.  We had the most wonderful time!  We loved getting to be together with grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and kids, not to mention the beautiful Florida white sand beaches!  Elijah had a great time too and was at a wonderful age for the beach.  He was able to run around and play and seemed to really enjoy the sand.  He especially enjoyed his cousins and jumped right in with "the pack." :)  We are so thankful for our families and love every moment we get to spend with them.  Thanks for all the wonderful memories...we are already looking forward to the next Florida beach trip!!

Eli with his cousins Asher, Emory, and Abram

Elijah loved walking down the beach (just like his mommy!)

The whole clan going for a walk

Eli is only 16 months old and already has a farmers tan :)

While Elijah loved to walk down the beach, he never wanted to turn around and walk back.  Here is Daddy carrying him back from their walk.

Eli longing to run back down the beach and explore new territory

Asher did a silly run that cracked Elijah up!  You can see Eli giggling at Asher who is just to the left of the shot.

Trying to run like his cousin Asher

Fun times at the beach down by the water!

Annual Boys Whiffle Ball Game

Watching the big boys play

"I want to play too!  Dad, can I be on your team?!"

"Watch out for that guy on 3rd!"

"I better get over there...looks like they could really use my help!"

Eli literally looking up to his bigger cousin Abram in matching outfits

Eli 16 months, Abram 2 1/2

Abram telling Elijah some little boy jokes... :)

"That's hilarious!"

"You are one funny guy, did you know that?"

"I like you!"

Partners in crime...busting into the cabinets to see what kind of trouble they can get into

At the airport saying bye-bye to Pops and Mamie in front of a very bright window.  Thanks for the fun times everyone!
