Summertime And The Livin' Is Easy

We just got back from a weeklong trip with the fam' at the Watercolor Resort in beautiful Santa Rosa, Florida (near Destin). We were guests in a friend's vacation home known as the "Lily Pad" and had a wonderful time riding bicycles, kayaking, playing games, relaxing on the beach/pool and laughing as much as humanly possible. From the cobblestone streets to the gorgeous sand dunes and luxurious southern style homes the atmosphere made for a magical week and the perfect family vacation.

Little Man wasn't nearly as excited about the sun, surf or sand as the rest of the family was but he did have a lot of fun eating vegetables for the first time. Feeding him made me feel like we were competing in some kind of eating contest for babies. Guess the apple doesn't "rot" far from the tree (that was for you Hay). Oh and for the record, although I am a fair-skinned person, my son naturally appears to be very tan (no, Jackie, I do not secretly put him in a tanning bed) so when you see him this week please keep the "he sure got some sun!" comments to yourself ... there are no tanlines on that boy!

Aunt Ash and Nana were determined to get Little Man sitting up on his own this week and he seems to have figured it out although he doesn't have the trunk control to pull up to that position or maintain it for longer than 5 seconds (does that even count?).

All in all it was a wonderful week and hopefully the first in a long line of family vacations, even if we can only get the whole family there for a portion of the week (Adam and Jordan had to go back early). Guess I'm headed back to my windowless office and 60 degree INDOOR weather (my office neighbor keeps it really cold).
