Summer Beach Vacay

Our summer vacation was so fun! 

David and I spent part of our time in PCB with my side of the family, and part of our time in Mexico Beach with the Griffin side. It helps that the families vacation at the same time every year only 30 miles apart! 

Henry did great on the ride down - he's a good traveler! 

We were so excited for his first beach trip, and had him 3 outfits to celebrate the 4th in. 

Here's our happy baby laughing with his aunt Laura Lyn and uncle Brince!

Here he is napping in outfit #2 - I couldn't resist taking his picture with his little tush in the air!

and here's outfit #3 for dinner and the fireworks show!

Everyone had to have a pic with our little flag-holder!

It was wonderful to be with my cousins Hugh, Gracie, Chandler and Ivy!

They all loved taking turns holding the baby.

And here's a bunch of the crew watching the fireworks - there were 21 of us in all!

So excited to see these two get hitched in a few short weeks!

Pure patriotism.

During a break in all the rain, we took Henry down to the sand. He loved dozing in his tent! He still loves the outside and seems to be really comforted by the sound of the waves.

How cute is this?

Henry mostly stayed indoors and got lots of love! 

Those rolls are just pure sugar for this mama!

We enjoyed a night out with B&LL 

He's so responsive now, and loves to talk back!

Later during our vacation, we moved over to Mexico Beach.

We loved spending time with the Griffin crew too...this is little Lizzy - she's grown so much!

Ben was rocking a tan from his time in the sun!

Our little crab!

And Henry's first time feeling grass - not sure how it felt! Probably pretty itchy!

Pammy and Pop kept Henry for David and I while we went scalloping in St. Joe Bay - that's Lizzy and Rodney on the boat, David with his catch, our bucket of scallops, and the little kiddos "helping" open the shells.

Our little snorklers!

We capped off the end of Grffin Beach Week with a bonfire on the beach...here's Pammy and Pop with our sleepy little man!

And our little family of three!

Rodney, Ben, and Wyatt in the water

Here's Amanda and Christie at the bonfire too! 

Fun week! 

Stay tuned for more on what we've been up to lately!
