St. Simons Girls Trip...plus William

I met my cousins in St. Simons Island, Georgia three weeks ago, it just took me forever to get this posted. We had so much fun. This is the beach that our mothers grew up going to every summer. We have spent many vacations together here throughout our lives, so it was neat to take our children.

But first, a little back ground information. Below is a picture of my mom and her sisters, my aunts. From left to right, Nancy (middle sister), Linda (oldest), and my mom, Janet (the baby). I am not sure how old they are in the picture but they all look beautiful. Don't you just love the shoes.

Below are my cousins, we were trying to recreate the picture above. (left to right) Lynn is Linda's youngest daughter, Leigh is Nancy's daughter, and Suzanne is Linda's oldest daughter. We went to Europe together, about 12 years ago. We had so much fun.

Here is the only picture from the trip of the four of us. I took the pictures from our Europe trip to the beach and we stayed up way too late looking at them and laughing about the trip and the way we were dressed and our hair. Although, I am realizing mine still looks the same. Maybe time for a change.

So now we have all had children and we wanted to get them all together. I am the only one of the four to have a boy. Below is William, Sydney (Suzanne's daughter) and Olivia (Lynn's daughter). The kids had so much fun together. The girls, all the girls, were not sure what to think of Wild Man William! We went walking on the pier and I was running after William, afraid he was just going to jump right off into the ocean. I look back and Suzanne, Sydney, Lynn and Olivia are walking hand in hand enjoying the night.... Boys will be boys.

We loved the fact that the condo had this huge tub. We put all the kids in and bathed them at once. They loved it! Leigh's daughter, Analyse, is in the middle looking right at the camera, then Sydney, Olivia, and William.

Of course we had to do some shopping. Sydney came home looking like a princess!


William decided she needed to be escorted down the hall!

We just enjoyed hanging out and catching up. Nancy, mom and dad, could not stand to have us so close and not come visit. Especially if the Texas girls were in town (Suzanne, Sydney, Lynn and Olivia).

Alyssa joined us for the weekend. She is the one sitting on the couch holding the red bag. Alyssa is Josh's daughter. Josh is Leigh's brother. (Is anyone still following all of this???)

The kids got so excited when about 15 sail boats went past us. We think they were having a race.

The kids also did a lot of this. And if one had something they all had to have it!

We had a lot of fun swimming and playing on the beach. Not sure who took the beach pictures but it was not me.

We had a great meal out at the Crab Trap. Although, not that easy with 4 kids. Thanks Pop, Dad, Frank for the wonderful meal.

We were sad to leave, the kids had so much fun playing together. So until next time....
