On October 18-25 we went to Florida for a family beach trip with Cheetah and Papou and all the kids/grandkids. There were 20 of us total...and we were in one huge house. It was a really great trip! The weather was gorgeous (it never got too hot); there was a lot for us to do (pool, beach, riding bikes, visiting the little communities on 30A); and we were able to spend quality time with Alex's family. Perry and Mills absolutely loved playing with their cousins. On the way there we drove through the night--left Shreveport at 9:15pm and arrived at the beach house at 6:15am. We made amazing time since there was no traffic slowing us down. Neither Alex nor I got any sleep that night, but I think it was worth the sacrifice. Mills slept the whole way; Perry slept most of the way; and James was off and on. On the way home we stopped overnight at Joanna's house in Madison, Ms. It was definitely a new experience traveling with 3 kids, but we survived, and managed to have a great time along the way.
We went to Seaside on Perry's birthday and he got ice cream for a morning snack
Cheetah made a delicious cake and we celebrated all the October birthdays--Perry, Mills, Katie and Brody
We went to the little villages near our house to shop, eat, and sight see. Alex pulled the big boys on the bike and I pushed James

the kids loved cuddling and watching TV in the evenings (Mills, Aidan, Miles, Bree, Perry, Lizzy--6 of the 9 grandkids)
Papou and the kids loved playing in this sand hole
Perry and Mills loved chasing the seagulls
My big boys had so much fun!
Our night in Jackson was a lot of fun for everyone and gave us a much-needed break from the car. We went to church with the McNeels on Sunday and then headed home.
We showed up and the boys just happened to be coordinating in their fall/halloween shirts
love this sweet friend of mine!
