Will boogie boarding!

Liza and I got to go to Red Lobster together tonight! She is so pleasant, talkative, funny and sweet - such a fun date!

Jonah

With Uncle Jason's help, Dane and Jonah learned how to boogie board! Even though the water was so cold, they kept going back for more all day long.

Abba vigilantly watching over Will. Later she got out and splashed around with him! Such a great beach day!

Funny Liza :)

Justice and Dane having breakfast on the Regency Club deck!

The boys fed the birds some Thanksgiving dinner while we waited for our movie to start.

We had Thanksgiving at a Mexican restaurant of all random places! We loved or time together and making a new kind of memory.

Thanksgiving love:) It's all about family.

Cousin (and Aunt Emmy) UNO!!

We had the best time sea kayaking and even got to go inside an ocean cave!

Liza and Jessa laughed and laughed together at dinner! True cousin bliss.

Finished product!

The kids worked and worked. Andrew told us how impressed he was that the kids all stayed so focused, followed directions, and worked so well together.

Andrew teaching us how to carve textures, cut stairs, draw windows, and make decorative squares.

We got to have a professional sandcastle-building lesson from our new friend, Andrew. While the foundations of our castles were hardening, he took us close to the water and taught the kids how to dig deep enough into the sand that water filled the hole. Then they could use that water to sculpt their beach mud with! That was one of many great tips he taught us.

Mimi and Steve paddled over from their side of the bay!

Abba, Jonah and Dane took to the seas!

Our first ride on an electric boat!

Sisters make the best friends:)

Family FiRsT

Crabs!

Jonah, Will and Jessa got buried by cousins first, and then a whole crowd of kids came to help!
