Our beach week plans were different this year with family life changing as kids get bigger and our budget being a little tighter. The Cooper boys had baseball tournaments and the Dormans were with family but close by. So we made plans for a 4-5 day trip for our fam with day visits on the schedule with the Dorman crew... and were so thankful for a great deal on a condo from MayMay's mom.
Packed up and heading out in Daddy's truck :)
So beautiful! We were right on the beach with a perfect amount of space in the condo and a great pool and view...
They paused quickly to let me grab a pic before they dove in that first afternoon. Love them and this relaxed time with them so much :)
After some beach time, we rode bikes down for some after dinner treats :)
I was still on real-life schedule and woke early in the mornings for some great quiet time with the Lord...so peaceful and absolutely beautiful. Incredibly thankful for that time
A good beach read, fun playtime and bike-riding made the rest of this day pretty close to perfect :)
We so love the fact that we rarely go anywhere in a car when we are there. We hopped on our bikes again the next morning for a nice ride and then to meet our Dorman buds for lunch before an afternoon on the beach with them...
Love :)
Monopoly in the condo
And sweet Darcey reading to Garner :)
(She cracked us up picking this as her hiding spot for hide-n-seek :))
Beautiful to ride on the beach in the evenings :))
Gehr and B went out the next morning for breakfast and biking...and saw some critters!
And we had good condo time and visiting with Mammaw too this day :)
Resttime in the bunks
We met back up with the Dormans at their place for dinner with the extended fam...so nice! And Gehr and Chaney were still the cute pair they've always been :)
Descending on the ice cream shop!
While we were there (eating soft ice cream, no less!), Greer lost her first tooth!
And Chaney and Gehr posed silly ;)
We loved our time with them and loved our sweet family time too. So thankful for the opportunity to be there for a few days. We finished the trip with one last evening bike ride and paused to count gifts before packing up.
Love those sunkissed, sweet faces and so so blessed to have had some time away with them :)
