We spent all of last week and the 4th of July weekend in North Palm Beach, Florida! We had a blast! Josh's sister and her family moved down there about 6 months ago, so we got to stay with them. Which it was so nice of them to welcome our crazy family of five for a week! :) They have an extremely nice house on the canal with a boat, plus a pool and hot tub in their backyard. And we were lucky that while we were there Josh's mom came for several days, then his dad came for a few days, and his brother and his wife came for several days too. So we got to see everyone from his family. While there we went to the beach, swam in the pool a lot, went to his cousin's neighborhood pool and splash pad areas (it was SO nice), took the boat out, played golf (well Josh did a lot and Bryant did once), and had a fun 4th of July celebration! Both kids loved the ocean the first day because there were no waves, but the next day there were lots of waves and they weren't as big of fans. They still enjoyed it though. And they both loved the pool just like here. They would seriously swim every day, all day, if they could. Bryant had so much fun playing a Par 3 course with Josh and Uncle Chris. He actually beat Josh on one of the holes!! As for fireworks on the 4th, Taylor was already asleep by the the time we shot them, and Bryant did not like them. They were too loud for him. Oh well! Really the only negative of the trip was the drive down there. It took about 10 hours each way… But the kids did surprisingly well, and it was definitely worth the drive. Below are some pictures from a wonderful vacation!!
No waves. She just walked right out into the ocean when we got there.
Bryant checked it out a minute and then went on in.
