First vacation

I don't update my blog because it's such a hassle to turn on many computer and then retrieve all my pics off of my phone or camera. I know, I know - first world problem (btw - I HATE that catch phrase). I finally just sucked it up and downloaded the app even though it doesn't let me format the blog the way I want it to look. Hopefully I'll be a little more diligent about updating this way.
After a year with all 7 kids at home we finally got a few free days to escape real life and head to the beach!  They have loved every minute of it and we are all dreading leaving tomorrow.  What can you say about a beach vacation?  We swam in the ocean and the pool, had dolphins swimming within 15 yards of us, built sand creations,  had arguments about whether or not we could bring living sea creatures home (the answer is no, in case you wondered) and ate more than was necessary. It's been a great long weekend.  Now we can endure months of answering the question - "when can we go back to the beach? "
