We're Baa-aack...!

Well we have returned to Columbus for another school year, here we go! It is good to be back, although I think we are really going to miss Michigan! It was such a wonderful place! I think we made the most of our summer, and who knows, we could be returning there... I guess we'll see when the time comes! Anyway, we got back a week ago and then headed out to Florida for a quick trip with the Smiths!! We had a great week in Florida! It was a lot of fun, we stayed in a condo, a really nice condo, right on the beach and basically we did nothing but swim and boogie-board for 3 days. It was great! Traeden has become a pro boogie-boarder, he was riding the waves with the best of 'em! Jax rode with me a couple of times, but the large waves made him nervous. He preferred playing in the sand and collecting seashells and sand-dollars! They also had a great time burying dad in the sand, and then once they saw how fun it looked they had to be burried also! Araleigh loved the sand, luckily we were able to keep her from eating too much of it, and she really loved the water! She had a fun time splashing us in the waves and crying "woooo-ooooo" as we would go up with them, it was pretty funny!

And as if the gorgeous beach wasn't enough, we had a huge pool to play in when we got sick of swallowing salt water. The boys had such a blast jumping in and diving for toys. They have become really good swimmers, although I don't credit the swimming lessons that I paid way too much for... They also had to do more dangerous jumps, such as jumping over dad's head...So we had a really great time, it was so good to have a family vacation before we start this busy year!
