Panama City Beach Summer Vacation 2010

It seems like it has been forever since I posted! AND, even more than that it seems like it has been forever since I have had the time to set down and catch up on what's going on in all of my blogger buddies' lives. I have missed you guys, and that is definitely on my agenda today as I am completing my last day of vacation until school starts back. This Summer has flown by, and it is hard to believe that in 2 short weeks my Big Girl will be a 1st Grader!
Last week we ventured to Panama City for some great family time. It was so good to get away from the phone ringing, constant emails, and just the hustle and bustle that our busy lives have to offer. This week we were able to just focus on spending time together, what I love best! We did lots of sunning, swimming, laughing, shopping, relaxing, eating, and most importantly, making memories. We had so much fun with the girls! Kyle and I discussed many times on this trip how much we value our family vacations and any time where we can just slow down and take in every single moment of our girls lives. Family time is PRICELESS! We ALL hated to see it end, but I truly believe that every ending is the start of a new beginning! So, we will just see where the next chapter in our lives will take us? I took LOTS of photos, but I tried to narrow down to some (well, maybe alot)of my favorites. I hope you enjoy the photos!

It all started Here!


Yes, Stress Free for a Week!




The balcony from our master bedroom...

and this was the view I woke up to every morning...Beautiful!

Then to the beach we went...where we did lots of....

Relaxing and playing in the sand...




And then we got tired of the sand...so we headed to the POOL...






And, there was a whole lot of eating going on too! Not a good thing when you come home and step on the scales....But, today is a new Monday!


And, then it was time to do some shopping....

Me and My Big Girl

My Precious Baby


With that came a visit to "Build A Bear"...the girls had a BLAST!

Hallie with her ice cream bear named "Lucy"

Hannah Claire with her Doggy named "Precious" She sleeps with him every night now...

Warning....Shameless Brag Coming! I do have the Sweetest Husband in the World..well, on most days! While I was shopping in the Crocs store at Pier Park he told me that he would take the girls to look in some toy stores. However, he snuck in a jewelry store and bought me a new charm for my Pandora Bracelet. It reads "Forever Together." I love it!

And if you were really good while mommy shopped you got rewarded when you got home. She will do anything for an ice cream sandwich!


Have I told you lately how much I love these little girls?


The only stressful thing that happened this week! Hannah fell out of her lawn chair on the balcony and hit the door frame. Pretty good Goose Egg, but she didn't even cry!


The rest of the photos are pictures I took one night on the beach before venturing to dinner. Hope you enjoy!















She has him wrapped so bad! But, I am sure you can understand why...she gives these sweet hugs out all the time...



And, it ended here! Can't wait for our next adventure!
