“For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.

CRYSTAL CHARM EAST
Daddy had worked for a friend of ours that just so happened to own a beach house, so he traaaahh h hhhaaded work for our stay at a WONDERFUL 4 bedroom house, so about a month ago in April we went on our FIRST family vacation together. Don't get me wrong, we have been on lots of vacations together but NEVER for a whole week with JUST US 10!!
This is the wonderful house that we stayed in. (We rented the right side of the house if you can't tell!) 
Loading Up!
Happy to Get going!!
WE'RE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Making beds.
YIPPY!!!!

PUFFER?!
Thankfully we were only 8 houses down from the pier and went there almost every day to either fish, watch others fish, or have a picnic. One day when we were walking to the pier we saw a dead puffer fish laying on the ground, so of course we had to check it out. 
Pretty awesome Huh!
