Cousins!  Thought this was a good shot of the kids although the professional pictures are even better. 

So much easier to get a good photo when you don't have to worry who is looking at the camera : )  It was a perfect day--that picture isn't photoshopped or anything. The water was that many different colors of blue and the sky with just a few clouds-couldn't ask for any more!

By this point my girls had enough and just wanted to play in the sand but we wanted at least one with my parents and all of us.








Just love this one of my parents and the four grandkids!  Jason was standing in the back holding Olivia but you really can't see him!

Happy 18 months sweet Olivia!  My little miss independent is just so full of personality and charm. She makes us laugh and smile. And she gives the best hugs. Can't believe she is a year and a half already!!!

Olivia loved dancing on stage to the music--she has quite the moves, just like her sister.  We've got 2 dancers in the family!

Teething doesn't even slow her down--she was watching the sesame street show and this is a great picture of Grandma so i had to post it








Sydney's smile was so big whenever she got near her Sesame Street friends--i love this one of her and Elmo during one of the camp activities

One of Sydney's highlights was getting her hair braided--she loves that the beads in her hair make her look fancy : )

Olivia LOVES cousin Zach--she just couldn't stop hugging him all the time! And its clear the feeling is mutual!

Sydney loved playing around in the water

Olivia gives Elmo a hug after the Letter of the Day activity

Love this one of the kids looking out at the sunset...






It was a magical trip and we all had a fantastic time. There are a few more pictures to come--ones from our professional photographer session.  The only real downer of the vacation was when my mom tripped and fell on the last night and had to visit the hospital in Turks and Caicos.  She broke her wrist and is having surgery this week to fix it.  Sydney keeps asking about Grandma's wrist and we all wish for a speedy recovery. But she is a tough woman who has been through a lot and will be just fine--hang in there Grandma!!! We love you : )
