VACATION!!!

Last September (yes, that same September that occurred four months ago), we took a vacation with my family to Gulf Shores, AL. I am not really sure why I never really got around to posting about it, though. It was during that trip that we found out about Baby Myers #2...the crappy feelings soon started. It was four days after we got back from that trip that Owen stopped sleeping, which meant when he slept during the day, I slept too...which meant no free time to be on the computer.

I figured since it was in the middle of winter and my blogging choices are either to go back four months and blog about awesome sun and sand or blog about how Owen and I spend every day in our pajamas playing with toys...you might pick the former. That's what I am banking on, at least :)

I apologize for all of the pictures...I suppose I could break them out in a couple of different posts, but a). I am lazy, and b). one post from four months ago is embarrassing enough!

Who-dey!!! We watched the first Bengals game of the season here. Stupid Brandon Stokley!!

It's sunscreen time!! He's all ready for his Jersey Shore audition!

Whoa...I need to think about this for a second.

Jonah had no problem diving right in.

Umm, excuse me. Wait for me!

Hey! This is fun!

Double time!!

By the end of the week, Owen was Mr. Personality of the pool. He "talked" to everyone!

Cousin Jonah was by far his favorite buddy, of course.

These buddies had a fun time hanging out by the pool, too :)

This vacation was the first time Owen has been able to play at the beach. He's been on the South Carolina beach a few times, but this time, he actually got to get down and PLAY!! He wasn't a huge fan...we spent the majority of the time at the pool.

Strolling out to the beach for the first time.

Building castles in the sand isn't so bad.

I hate this! Get me outta here!!!

We had a fantastic week (thanks, Mom and Dad...vacations are always nicer when you don't have to pay for room and board or plane tickets! :), great weather, great food, and great times. We also went to a really cute little zoo. We have a lot of pictures from there, but I will spare you any more pictures! Of course we had a few minor squabbles, but that's to be expected with a 13-month old, a 9-month old and two pregnant chicks, right?!?! But really, I hate being away from my family, and truly cherish every minute we get to spend together...even if it looks as though WWIII might be starting! :)
