In July, Pete and I went on our FIRST TRIP EVER away from the girls, over night!
I have never left Ava over night, other than when I was in the hospital for Ella's birth.
We were WAY over due!
This is when we dropped the girls with Nonnie and Papa for the weekend. They stayed over night at our house so the girls would have their regular routines but played at Nonnie's during the day.
During a school fundraiser last year we (our wolf pack) won a silent auction bid on a beach house on Crystal beach. We were counting down the days to our little get away and O.M.G. was it SO MUCH FUN!!! We are planning our next summer trip already, this WILL be a yearly vaca!
Before we kit the road, we stopped at a local liquor store to get the goods...
A few minutes after we left, Nonnie sent us this picture of them in Ava's new hats!
On the ferry!
Yes, we bought new beach hats just for our trip!
Everyone was already at the house for a few hours when we got there because Pete had to work, it was a Friday. That night was a late one and we all had an awesome time laughing and spending quality time together...without the kids...
We went to the beach the next morning and set up shop.
The men spent a lot of time in the ocean and the woman enjoyed the sun and RELAXING with our magazines and music!
Both nights, we ate like kings and queens. Matt, Michael and the ladies prepared some yummy meals! Chicken, Steak, Shrimp, Matt's famous beans, dips, sides, and desserts!
We face timed with the girls before dinner on Saturday night.
Ava loved talking with us and told us about all the fun things she was doing with her Nonnie and Papa. She didn't seem to miss us one bit. :( Before Pete and I left for our trip, we told her several times that we would be gone for a few days and that Nonnie and Papa were going to have a sleep over and play with them for 2 WHOLE days! She was excited and didn't ask for us at all!
Saturday night was a little laid back...
still had a great time chillin' on the porch listening to music and just being ourselves!
This is the house we stayed it!
It was perfect, everyone had their own rooms and we had plenty of space in the kitchen and living room. We can't wait to go back! Oh, and we were in walking distance from the beach. :)
When we picked up the girls on Sunday, they would leave my side!
I missed them dearly!!!!
We bought each of the kids a Crystal beach t-shirt and they all wore them a few days later.
Colin is acting like a shark...
The trip was fantastic and exactly what we needed!
Can't wait for next summer!
