Spring Break in Ft. Walton Beach

The ice cream bunny cake that hopped over to the condo

Adeline kept saying, take my picture, take my picture

Rick's older sister Cathy and her family drove the 15 hours down from Maryland to stay for 4 days at the beach. A kite festival was going on that weekend as well. Not quite sure what the giant red spiky balls were? I liked the giant green fish best

Bethany our oldest niece kept begging for an airbrushed tattoo, so Emma found tiger paw prints she liked also. They thought it would be cool when they get tan and the tattoo fades to have the spot still there

For the better part of an entire afternoon the girls and Reece collected dead jellyfish that were washing ashore. Some were as big as basketballs and some as little as a nickel. People kept stopping to take pictures and talk to the girls, I think they liked all the attention.

Bethany is now 14, Angela is 12 , Emma is 8 and Reece is 5. Bethany is now taller than me and wears a shoe 2 sizes bigger than me. Everytime I see her, I tell her to stop growing, but I think she's not listening. Now do you see where the baby giraffe legs on Emma come from?

4 years running we have had an Easter Egg hunt with our cousins. Aunt Cathy and I did the hiding and the kids go crazy

The first day there was spent digging a giant hole to flood with water

This is a typical Adeline silly face. She makes this face while coming down the stairs 1st thing in the morning or when she sees Daddy coming home from a trip

This spring break meeting of our families, started 4 years ago. Rick's younger sister Emily lives in Jacksonville, Fl now with her husband and we caravan over to see them, while the Rysaks head down from up north. Last year Rick's Dad even flew down to join us. We all love when Uncle Dave comes with his cast iron skillet, to make us scallops and fresh fish, we don't mind the smoke, cause the food is sooooo good! This is the first year we haven't done the Jacksonville Zoo during break since Kindergarten. Well, giant gorilla who gave Rick the stinkeye, we'll see you next year. But don't think that I won't be out east before summer is over to go to Harry Potter World with Emily like the ginormous dorks we are.
