Family (The WHOLE Family) Vacation

My sister called and asked if I would send her pics from our family vacation, and it was then that I realized I never posted pics from our Griswold family vacation!

My parents took us on a little getaway the week before school started.  Nothing fancy, just a few days away from LIFE.  Our whole family got to go, and we are far too much like the Griswold crew!

The Fam…

My parents with their grandkids (Preston, Caleb, Truett, AnnaLeigh, and Lilly Katherine).

I know I don’t look like my mom.  She did birth me.  I look like my dad.  He’s Italian and Lebanese.  My mom is…not.

The whole crew.

My sister, Ashley (the baby of the fam) with her husband, Alan, and their two precious boys, Caleb and Truett.

My brother, Taylor (the middle) with his wife, Kelly.

Me (the oldest…and wisest, of course!) and our 3  (and 1/2) little people!

The maniacs!

LK and Pinky

Alan and Truett

P and LK (don’t be fooled.  He’s not hugging her, he’s tackling her!)  She was on the ground in the next frame, but this one looked much sweeter. :)

The boys got to play at this cool mini Ballpark at Arlington, and they loved it!

Uncle Taylor pitching to the boys.

We went to Hawaiian Falls.  I think my father enjoyed it as much as the kids did!  He’s the old gray-haired man sliding down the yellow slide.  :)

P went down at the same time, but he was stuck at the top because he’s a light-weight!

My big girl LOVED the water rides!

Pinky loved the Lazy River, but I don’t have a pic of her.  I don’t have too many pics from the water park, but I think I probably posted enough here if you need to see more. :)

The boys even got away for a quick trip to the driving range.

With all the craziness of the weekend, we were so thankful to sneak a trip in to see MawMaw (Brad’s grandmother).  We don’t see her often enough, and she is a precious woman!  We love her so much and she’s truly a living miracle and a gift to our family!

We celebrated Taylor’s 31st birthday!  It’s crazy how he used to be younger than me and now he’s older than me…huh!? :)  It was a treat to have “Unka Taylor” and “Aunt Kelly” there.  Kelly’s sweet mom even packed a BUCKET full of goodies for our babies…and us!  Thank you!!! :)

Do you know how hard it is to get 5 wiggle-worms to sit still for a pic?  Virtually impossible!

Thank you MOM and DIDDY for taking us on a little getaway!  You’re welcome to do it again any time you would like.  :)

I love you all and I’m blessed to have you in my life and my babies’ lives!
