I miss the beach!

I love the beach. It makes me sad to think I only get to go to the beach once a year. One day, that's going to change. One day...

For the past 3 years, the children & I have been going to St. George Island, FL w/ my parents, my mom's 1st cousin (who is like her sis) & her hubby & their daughter & her son. Got all that?

We rent a big beach house on the island that has 4 bedrooms & baths, a big kitchen, dining & living room combo & a pool. It's on this little canal-thing, so we have a boat dock too. The kids love the beach & the ocean, but the pool is a lifesaver! The island mostly just beach houses & w/ small kids we don't go out much. We do go out to eat 1 night at this place in Apalachicola called Poppa Joe's. Yummiest bay scallops ever!

Hubby can't go b/c of peaches (how convenient), but my cousin is divorced so it works out pretty good. The only men are the granddads & they spend half their time on the boat. Wonder why?

The kids play great together. Bo idolizes Jake! He has no siblings so he eats it up! This year when it was time to go, Jake wanted to take Bo home w/ him.

Here's a few of my favorite shots from this year's trip to St. George Island.

For some reason, I can't add anymore pics & my spellcheck is not working. Did you notice? So, let me publish this post then I'll do one w/ just pictures!!!
