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 <\/em>pics from our Griswold family vacation!<\/p>\n

My parents took us on a little getaway the week before school started.\u00a0 Nothing fancy, just a few days away from LIFE.\u00a0 Our whole family got to go, and we are far too much like the Griswold crew!<\/p>\n

The Fam…<\/p>\n

My parents with their grandkids (Preston, Caleb, Truett, AnnaLeigh, and Lilly Katherine).<\/p>\n

I know I don’t look like my mom.\u00a0 She did birth me.\u00a0 I look like my dad.\u00a0 He’s Italian and Lebanese.\u00a0 My mom is…not.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The whole crew.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My sister, Ashley (the baby of the fam) with her husband, Alan, and their two precious boys, Caleb and Truett.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My brother, Taylor (the middle) with his wife, Kelly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Me (the oldest…and wisest, of course!) and our 3\u00a0 (and 1\/2) little people!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The maniacs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>LK and Pinky<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Alan and Truett<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>P and LK (don’t be fooled.\u00a0 He’s not hugging her, he’s tackling <\/em><\/strong>her!)\u00a0 She was on the ground in the next frame, but this one looked much sweeter. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The boys got to play at this<\/a> cool mini Ballpark at Arlington, and they loved it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Uncle Taylor pitching to the boys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We went to Hawaiian Falls.\u00a0 I think my father enjoyed it as much as the kids did!\u00a0 He’s the old gray-haired man sliding down the yellow slide.\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>P went down at the same time, but he was stuck at the top because he’s a light-weight!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My big girl LOVED the water rides!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Pinky loved the Lazy River, but I don’t have a pic of her.\u00a0 I don’t have too many pics from the water park, but I think I probably posted enough here <\/a>if you need to see more. :)<\/p>\n

The boys even got away for a quick trip to the driving range.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With all the craziness of the weekend, we were so thankful to sneak a trip in to see MawMaw (Brad’s grandmother).\u00a0 We don’t see her often enough, and she is a precious woman!\u00a0 We love her so much and she’s truly a living miracle and a gift to our family!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We celebrated Taylor’s 31st birthday!\u00a0 It’s crazy how he used to be younger than me and now he’s older than me…huh!? :)\u00a0 It was a treat to have “Unka Taylor” and “Aunt Kelly” there.\u00a0 Kelly’s sweet mom even packed a BUCKET full of goodies for our babies…and us!\u00a0 Thank you!!! :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Do you know how hard it is to get 5 wiggle-worms to sit still for a pic?\u00a0 Virtually impossible!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Thank you MOM and DIDDY for taking us on a little getaway!\u00a0 You’re welcome to do it again any time you would like.\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I love you all and I’m blessed to have you in my life and my babies’ lives!<\/p>\n
