Marco Island

We've been going to Marco Island since I was a little girl - like 6 or so.  Every year my family goes - and the past 10 or so years the family has grown to the 18 it is today!  My 2 parents, 2 brothers, 2 sisters-in-law, 2 nieces, 5 nephews, Dave and 3 kids - that's a big group! 

Some highlights from the trip include:

- Running on the beach!!  And swimming in the pool were a blast!  The girls can touch the bottom of the pool which made things really nice!  Ev really took to swimming and Erin also had fun in the water!  I am excited to sign them up for swimming lessons when we return home!
-  One of the most special things about the trip was the girls being able to have quality cousin time.  They just love being with their cousins.  They get all rowdy and have a blast trying to act like the big kids.  They seemed to especially enjoy spending time with my brother Brian's kids.  They live in Arizona, so we don't get to see them often.  The kids just loved playing together.


- The girls loved chasing birds.  Erin had a lot of fun with this - until the birds flew!  That scared her pants off!

Oh. My. Goodness. Erin's face is priceless in the picture with the birds! Kodak moment 100%. This trip always looks like so much fun. What amazing memories your whole family gets to have from this week together. Thanks for sharing!
