Weekend with Dad

It's been too long since we've all been together with my dad...and never at his house on the coast.  So my sweet brother, Britt, planned a weekend to all go there and surprise him...partly to just visit and to also celebrate his 60th birthday a little early.

We (all 14 of us!) crashed his office on Friday afternoon.  He was sweet and emotional and so cute. :)

Meeting baby Brock for the first time...

All four here :)

Rosie helped us make sure he was in town and didn't have other plans...as well as helped with arrangements etc.  So great to be all together in one place!

That evening, we enjoyed a yummy low country boil and spent time shooting pool, playing, visiting and going out on the boat.

The scenery is just gorgeous there, but even better that Saturday morning was the sunrise visit with Dad and then a walk with him and Lindsey afterwards.  It's so rare and precious to have that much uninterrupted time together and I am so grateful!

While Gehrig slept in :), our girls enjoyed some good family time with Megan and Margaret...

He woke up finally :) and immediately jumped into water gun playing with Nathan :)

Papa and Rosie cooked some good downhome breakfast for everybody in the Pouloses' condo...

More visitin'...

After breakfast, we played kickball.  It was my favorite part of the weekend!  Such a great time of all being together and having fun.  Love :)

Impressive form ;)

Loving Dada's hat...

...and taking self-portraits :)

All that exercise sent us to cool off with some good pool time :)

That evening, the weather got super stormy and we visited/ate dinner in the Pouloses condo.  Garner and B were super cute coloring together while the big kids played and had fun...

We finished up the weekend with some relaxed visiting on Sunday...down at the dock for a group pic!

Papa and the grands checked the crab traps...there were tons in there!

Buddies :)

The boys played darts, Garner got some good "pup-pee!" time and Greer loved working a puzzle with Marg, Rosie & Meg :)

Sweet baby Brock time, some last minute fishing (Gehr caught a sting ray!) and a great afternoon visit with Papa and Rosie while Garner napped wrapped up the weekend.

We are so thankful for all the work that Britt did to put it all together.  It's not easy to work around so many schedules and make arrangements for everyone.  We love you!

And Papa, we love you too :).  Hope we get to see you again soon!!
