July 4th and Dad's Birthday

This past weekend, all of the kids and Dad went to the beach to celebrate his birthday. The kids being- Mandy, Will, Brandon, Mike, Becky, me and Kara. We absolutely had a blast. Mandy, Becky, and Daddy got there on Friday. Will, Brandon, and I got there on Saturday, and Mike and Kara came down on Sunday.
We layed on the beach ALL DAY Sunday, and it was amazing, packed, but amazing all at the same time. The girls enjoyed a few pina coladas, while the guys enjoyed their beers. Mandy and Will made everyone lunch AND brought it down to us! Needless to say it was a good day with some much needed QT with the family. Before packing up and heading back to the hotel room though... Dad had the great idea of going parasailing. I agreed even though I thought I might die on the way out to the boat.
AGREEING WAS A GOOD DECISION. It was a blast! Brandon and I can't wait to do it in Jamaica. Hopefully we will see more sea creatures than jellyfish-which Mandy thought were coconuts. (Love you Mand)




Anyhow... after parasailing we all got ready and went to PF Changs... one word as Will would say DERISHOUS. All in all the weekend was great... and I definitely plan on encouraging a yearly beach trip-because those are the kind of memories you can't make twice.
