Fernandina Beach

 Lots o' pictures from our fun week at the beach-cousins in Atlanta had already been out of school so we left the day after school ended!  We went back to Fernandina Beach-where the Greg went growing up-we had not been there since 2006- when Scott was 3 and Ryan was only 1.

The aqua house we stayed in was a great fit for just the 11 of us-Bev, Em, Jake, and their 3 girls, and the five of us.  The trek to the beach was AMAZINGLY short-just across this street that was mostly sand

 There was lots of great hanging out and game playing, book reading, relaxing laziness space-which was good because we had several rainy days!

 The girls bunk room was amazing-but we would have needed one more bed if Maggie had been with us too!
 a great sign in the kitchen of our house

 the outside of the house

 Ryan could spend hours playing in the sand!




 Blythe's hair is flying!



 There was an upper deck that was a great reading place just had signs all over saying we would be fined and thrown out of the house if we climbed on the roof of the house from the deck





 Sitting in their hole they dug and even made seats in!
 Ryan's hair has a mind of its own





 crazy faces is their preference!

 This is the land where Greg's grandmother's friends owned a beach house where their family stayed on beach trips.  We stayed their on our honeymoon and a few times when kids were little.  Then there got to be more of us than would fit in the house.  The author John Grisham bought the house when they sold it and the house next door-knocked down both houses and started over-this is the house and guest house with pool between that is there now-so pretty!








 There were lots of good pillows for pillow fighting too!


 a picture of us May 29th birthday people-wish Aunt Jodi was with us too!

 Scott loves to play cards and even stayed up once to play Tripoley with the grown ups




We needed to get outside for a while on this gray day and walked a good distance from the house-it started to sprinkle and we were all pretty wet by the time we made it back to the house!








 What our "street" looked like after a hard rain

 we also enjoyed a foot spa one day
 with parfait fancy snacks!


 So crazy!

 on the waterfront-during the week, we ate at Salty Pelican and Sliders-both had excellent fried shrimp!!!!!!


 ice cream!






 We got matching shirts at Disney over spring break and took pictures in them












 Scott loves riding the waves
 Ryan's compound he built in the sand
 A good picture for mom
 and a silly one

 Scott built a tank in the sand













 We had a turtle that lived next door

 Ashley didn't want to leave the beach our last night!  We had a great time-beach and family-two of my favorite things!!!!!
