You know when you've been planning something for so long and then it's over? It's so depressing. That's how I feel about our trip to the beach with our dear friends, the Murphy family.
We put together this trip months ago and now it's over. We had such a wonderful time together and enjoyed every minute of our time together.
The four of us arrived the day before the Murphy's flew in so we enjoyed some time with just us.
Here they come!
(slight delay due to detour to feed Mary's addiction of Diet Coke)

Finally!
John & Todd played two rounds of golf while in Florida
On Monday we went to the Ocean Club to eat lunch and swim at the pool
There were days when the smell of smoke was so strong that you couldn't be outside. The Okeefenokee Swamp was on fire and the wind blew the smoke our way.
Also, a $30 million beach renovation was under way. The pipe below stretched the length of the beach. Luckily the big machinery was past the house and we were able to access the beach. Phew!
Poor Kenna spent her first full day in bed and barfing. She had some sort of 24 hour bug.
Todd spent about 20 minutes getting the bikes ready for a ride that lasted about 2 minutes.
"It's so hot!"
We enjoyed popsicles by the pool nearly every day

Maddi as the dead mermaid
We found an abundance of sand dollars on this trip
On our way to Pasta Night at the club. The only day we actually dressed up.
(the only day I wore make-up the entire trip)
Fernando paid a visit
Claire and Sam at the golf course
Abby found a live sand dollar, however, it didn't last long.
We had enough wind to fly kites
Crepe morning! Delish!
Downtown Ferandina Beach
Sam loves Claire. She was so sweet and so patient and so willing to do whatever he asked of her
No trip to the beach is complete without a trip to the ice cream shop
Most of our time was spent at the beach. The weather was great!
Playing games
Our last night...brownie night
Saying good-bye...there were tears
We had such a wonderful time together and hope to do it again soon. Many thanks to my in-laws for letting us stay at their beautiful house.

looks like a perfect time! i can't believe how big all the kiddos are getting! i spent many hours of my teenage days babysitting the cute murphy girls!
Awww, that looks like such a fun time. I'm glad you guys got to visit with them for so long!
Wow!!! I babysat those beautiful girls when Annie couldn't. I can't believe how grown up they all are. What a fun trip.
I"m green right now. As green as my grass in spring, as green as the snow peas Nick left on his dinner plate last night, as green as Elphaba. Green, green, green, green, green.
It looks like you had a fantastic time Kim. A little glimpse of what heaven will be like . . .
