Ponce Inlet with the family

We had a great time with Rachel, Chris and family at Ponce Inlet. It was so fun to enjoy the beach together with family. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

shortly after we arrived on the beach it was shut down for a storm. The good part is that Florida storms seem to be short lived...so we waited out the rain in the van and then came out to a nice cool and somewhat deserted beach.

In central florida

We enjoyed a very late night game of Cities and Knights with my cousins Laura, Paul, and his wife Angie...good times

In a lot of ways it does not feel like our feet have hit the ground since we finished up in Missouri and drove our belongings to Wisconsin. It has been a good first part of the summer though. We were just at a family wedding in Pensacola and decided to visit Jenny's cousin in Orlando area. Our drive today went pretty well. Our kids are such champs to put up with so much riding in the car. 10 hours to the wedding, a few days there and then another 8 hours to where we are now. They are REAL troopers.

We got here at around 8 PM, but the pool was calling or names, so we took the whole family swimming, which was awesome and a good end to a day of being in the car. James really branched out today with his water exposure and was jumping off the edge of the pool into the water. He did so well. Emmanuel was swimming around some without any flotation assistance devices.
