Our big vacation this year was in Sea Grove Beach Florida which is right outside of Destin. We rented a beach house with the Vicinanzo Family from Birmingham Alabama. Mike worked with Matt in Alabama and we became close friends with them over our two years there. The Vicinanzo family consists of 5 children...yup you heard me right I said 5! Their four youngest came on the trip with ages ranging from 8 weeks to 8 years old, they are probably the best behaved group you will ever meet. Liam loved the chaos of the house and the constant entertainment they provided.
Our vacation was exciting to say the least. The first few days the weather was rainy but we made the best of it spending time at the pool and just relaxing. Then the plague set in...I am not kidding! Erin was the first to get sick with flu like symptoms, then their daughter Riley got it, then Mike, and finally Matt. Liam and I really lucked out and stayed healthy along with Gracie and Brodie. There was a lot of pooping and puking going on and a whole lot of cleaning. It was a complete mess but we survived and made the best of the time we had left.
The house we rented had a swimming pool which we used everyday. Liam loved it!
The beach was just a short walk from the house. Mike, Liam, and I (and usually a Vicinanzo kid or two) went for a walk on the beach every morning, it was so peaceful. Then every afternoon we would take Liam down to the beach before his nap. He was not so fond of the beach though. He hated the sand and would scream anytime it touched him...
He really like just sitting on the blanket playing with his stacking cups.
and would even practice his crawling...AS long as he did not touch the sand!
We had a great time! I really wish that we had a few more days to make up for the sick time but all vacation must come to an end. I love this last picture but for some reason I can't get the darn thing to turn so just turn your head a bit... :)
