Friends + Florida = Memories

Yes...we went to the beach again! I'm noticing that there seems to be a common beach theme throughout several of our posts!;) We certainly don't mind! Anyway, last week we enjoyed a relaxing, memorable week at the beach with some awesome family friends from church. It was sort of a graduation trip for a friend who graduated this year. The rest of us definitely benefited from him graduating high school!  It was great to take a break from school, jobs, and other stresses of life for a short bit. (Some of us still had school, but we won't complain...;) Let's just say that it has been difficult to get back to normal life after our fantastic week! We enjoyed kayaking on the ocean, seeing dolphins, going shark hunting (yes, I actually went but we didn't see any sharks which was good because I'm not sure how I would have reacted;), going crabbing, beach football and Frisbee, shopping, reading on the beach, late night laughter, a talent show, and, of course, A LOT of sand volleyball! I got hit in the face by the ball 5 times...but who's counting?!?;) Overall, it was an unforgettable week that we certainly won't forget!
 
This isn't good quality but the moon was beautiful on the beach! There was a silver moon path across the ocean. 

 
The day was just as beautiful!

We sang on the beach one night...

...it was beautiful and everyone loved it!

Sun kissed smiles...
  
...Beach waves...
...and eagerly waiting to head to the beach!


Most of the Atlanta kids!
 
It's a pretty great group!
 
We played football one evening!!
 
Yep...this is pretty typical!

Annalise West, Paige, and Haven West 
They had so much fun together!

The last day there were a lot of jellyfish in the water! All of us were crowded around filling up a bucket of jellyfish

Too much relaxing can make you tired...;)!!



We actually got a good family picture on the beach!! That's a rare phenomenon for us!;)

We already miss the beach! The more we go, the more we love it! Now, it is back to normal life!;)
