Family Vacation

We went on a little family vacation in celebration of Brian and I's 5th anniversary! Can you believe it's been 5 years!... 5 years full of the Lord's blessings! We went to Hutchinson Island. It's about an hour north of us. We had a really great time. We left Jupiter on Thursday evening, June 5th. That night we went to a great little pizza place for dinner and then went back to the resort to swim.

Being in a hotel room for the first time with the two kids I wasn't sure how the night would go but Ella slept quite well through Lucas' night time feedings.

Friday morning we went out for breakfast at yummy Cracker Barrel. Then Brian took me for a pedicure! Ella even got to get her finger nails painted. (a very pale pink) :o) And back to the hotel for lots of swimming!

Some Pictures of the weekend:

Hanging out

At the Pool and Beach

Loaded into the stroller for a walk to the ice cream shop. Lucas spent most of his time sleeping in the shade.

Saturday morning we hung out at the beach and pool again, then went for ice cream. And Ella got to go for a Pirate Treasure Hunt! She was even the one with the key to open the treasure chest! She had so much fun with that! She is really starting to come out of her shell! A few months ago she would have rather stood back and watched the other kids participate but she really got involved and even talked with the Pirate!


We ended the weekend with a late lunch at Benihana's, a Hibachi girl! We had so much fun there! Our Chef was quite entertaining as he prepared the food and it was delicious!

The weekend sure was one to remember! My husband and children are so precious to me! Although life is like a roller coaster, very fast and quite up and down, these opportunities to take time to stop and enjoy our loves ones are so precious!
