This year we packed up with some of our friends and headed to the beach for fall break. I'll be honest..... I had my doubts about trying to relax even one iota with the crew of kids that we were going to have. It actually turned out to be really great though.....kids playing and adults chatting beachside/poolside.
Elaina chillaxed and checked her email:)
The kids got the nets out and went fishing....
and they came across some really fun things!
Samantha and I decided we needed to do our mandatory planking picture to send back to our workout class.
Then Ashlee decided she needed to get in on the plank business. It's a good thing Samantha is one strong cookie and Ashlee isn't any bigger than a minute!
It was decided that Samantha really needed to be on her hands instead of her elbows so we gave a whirl again the next day.
Then there were beach handstands...
and an attempt to do some "couples sit-ups" that someone had seen online and it went terribly wrong ending with me flopping around in the surf:/
The gals had some good tan time sitting in the water discussing all sorts of topics.
We did go out to eat and in our sun induced haze we tried to get a table for all of us to sit together. What? No table for 14 kids and 10 adults? Well, I declare.

And out for another evening of trying not to lose anyone in the crowd. This part of the trip was definitely NOT relaxing.
Elaina had so much fun playing with her friends at the beach and to this day she has not stopped asking to go back. (I'm always late in blogging and it's been a few months ago!)
Bobby and I thought the trip was a breeze since we were down 2 kids. When you go from 4 to 2 you realize, "Hey! Two wasn't as bad as we thought it was!" Cade and Grant made the choice to head to Gatlinburg with Grandma and Granpa for some fall break fun. They went to the Titanic Museum and Ziplining.
They had a great time spending time with their grandparents making memories. They came back bearing all sorts of souvenirs. Good times!
We had a super fall break. Now back to the grind!
