We went to Cocoa Beach, FL August 2-9 for our yearly family trip with Amy's family. For 1 week Grammy, Pa, Auntie Sarah & Uncle Scott and us all lived together in a three bedroom condo. Suprisingly we all got along beautifully. Most of the week was spent playing in the pool or on the beach. Mia again was very skeptical with the pool and wanted to sit on the edge or the first step. She had a fit if you tried to hold her and bring her in the pool. The beach was a different story. She loved the sand and salt water (strange I know). By the end of the week we had her swimming in the pool by herself. So what changed things you ask?? A cabbage patch doll that could go in the water. Once she saw that her baby could swim she wanted to imitate her too. (Who would have thought?!) Ethan of course loved both the beach and the pool and decided he was too big for swimmies. At the end of the week he swam the length of the pool twice by himself.

Beside fun in the sun we did go to Sea World and Steve was able to go fishing twice. We had a great time and Ethan has started his countdown for next year's trip:) I'll post the pictures over the next few days because there are quite a lot!
