Back from Vacation!

We made it home from our extended vacation and there are just so many photos to share! The girls and I, along with my mom, my sister-in-law, and her two boys, took a road-trip to Florida to visit my brother and his family. What an experience, but I think everyone had fun. All the cousins played and swam together and here is the line-up:
From left to right: Laura Kate (21 months), Addy (8 months), Ben (3 1/2 yr), Eleanor (2 1/2 yr), Tim (6 yrs), and Mack (2 yrs).

I think they all had fun playing and swimming together! Tim gave Uncle Clay a run for his money in the pool, trying to tip him over as often as he could.
Eleanor floated in her boat and giggled the whole time she was in the pool...I think she loves the water!
Ben showed off his swimming skills...all the cousins were impressed!
The girls favorite attraction of our visit to Florida was Little Miss Addy!

After our visit to FL, we went back to my folks' house for a few days. The girls LOVED the dolls and the Elmo couch and BaBa and PopPop had for them to play with!
Then we had a special visit from Aunt Jo!

Our last stop was Salter Path, NC. It was great to have William join us for the last week of our vacation and we really enjoyed spending time with his family.

We started off the week with a birthday party for Eleanor! Nana baked a great cake and all her grandparents were there, plus some of her cousins and extended family!
On Monday, we took a trip to the aquarium. Here are the girls with their cousin, Eli.
Aunt Lizzie and her favorite two nieces!

Time for a boat ride! I think both the girls enjoyed it! They could not wait to get the boat into the water!
We all had a lot of fun playing in the ocean and at the pool! William and his 2 favorite little girls!

The girls had a big time during all of the 4th of July festivities! Here a few photos!

Laura Kate and Eli rode in the wagon and Eleanor walked in the parade.
Then after all the games, the girls took a break for lunch under a palm tree!
On the night of the 4th, there was a picnic and a beach party--they danced until bedtime...and then a little more!

We had a great time over the whole vacation, but are so excited to be home in our new house! More updated photos of the house to come soon, as well as birthday party pictures!
