Beware of a photo dump approaching. We just got back from Florida a few days ago and had a blast!! It was so fun to have the family all together. We missed my little sister who's away at college and my brother who's on a mission, maybe next year. We have been SO worried that our beach would be covered in oil but I am happy to report that we did not see one tar ball. The water is usually sparkling clear but they had just had a storm so it was kind of green when we got there. By the time we left, it was back to its beautiful self. It was a great trip with lots of memories.

Last year my arm got tatooed by the dye from our beach bag and it happened AGAIN this year!! I couldn't believe it. Luckily, this time it wasn't as bad.

Anna LOVED riding the waves with her daddy. I guess Mommy just didn't do it right because every time I held her, she yelled, "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" She just LOVES her daddy.

My nephew David was there too. He's hilarious!! Anna woke up asking for him and cried when she had to leave him at night. She loved having a little playmate there. Check out his facial expression in this one. Priceless!

Anna loved the sand. We built lots of sand castles that she immediately destroyed. I don't think she quite got the point....or maybe we didn't get her point.

Going to dip in the ocean after some sandy fun.

Dale, Amanda, and David! Say cheese!

This is Anna trying to eat the sand. Not really, but it does look like it, huh?
