Summertime...it's finally here! The Presley family is officially on summer break. We kicked off the summer with a Memorial Day long weekend in Amelia Island, Florida. It was fabulous! Gorgeous weather, warm waters, extended family with us...absolutely awesome. We would liked to have stayed longer, but we are grateful that the time we were there was all sunny and beautiful.
The kids played exceptionally well together, and stayed in the water most of the time - jumping the waves, riding the waves, and punching the waves (if your name is Eli). Payton also worked on one of her infamous "drip castles", as seen below. She loves to makes them! Unfortunately, Eli loves to somehow destroy them...stinker!
My parents were on the trip, as well as Brooke and Russ, and my Aunt Diann and great Aunt Christine, who drove all the way down from Tennessee! Aunt Chris, who we also call Aunt Tini, enjoyed sitting under the tent on the beach watching all the action. But then she got chilly in the shade, and preferred to sit in the sun and work on her tan.
Eli and Papaw enjoyed playing croquet one evening. Aren't they cute together?
Thanks to Brooke, the family photographer, we got some great family pictures one night before going to dinner. I am always thankful for Brooke and her willingness and ablility to get everyone to pose for amazing pictures!
The beach was beautiful and we were sad to leave. Now summer break consists of catching up around the house and working on a few home projects before the next fun trip. The kids are swimming on swim team, and we have been spending a lot of time at the pool trying to stay cool. I love summer break!
