He quickly earned the nickname, "The Banana Man." Laurel loves her Poppy!

Gracie and Christopher played with Laurel and kept her entertained. They were all so sweet to each other.

David and Ron

We can't wait to meet David and Michelle's little one. They are expecting in August. We're going to have a fun time with the little ones at the beach next year!

I loved having Emma join us at the beach. She was a big help, and a ton of fun, as usual!

Over Memorial Day weekend, we joined Trey's family for a little beach vacation. It was so much fun being with his whole family and we had such a great time together. Laurel had fun swimming in the pool, and didn't seem to mind the sand (although she didn't spend a lot of time on the beach). Gracie and Christopher loved playing with her, which was so much fun to watch. Every morning, Ron would feed Laurel a banana as part of her breakfast, and they both loved it.

Our biggest adventure happened on our third night, while we were watching a movie. All of a sudden, there was this loud, steady beating noise outside, and lights on the beach. We ran to the back porch in time to see a helicopter landing on the beach behind the house next to ours! There was some commotion going on next door, and then two ambulances arrived. Of course, Trey and Emma went to check things out. Apparently, a man next door had some chest pains and was air lifted to the nearest hospital. It was a little scary, but we found out the next day from his wife that he was doing okay. It was quite a night, to say the least!

We had such a great time with Trey's family. It was a relaxing vacation, and a great chance for us to catch up together. Thanks, Ron and Betsy, for such a wonderful time!
