rayner beach trip

after an emotional goodbye to the only home we've ever known and a 10 hour drive in 2 different cars, pat and laurel and i spent 4 nights at the beach in perdido with the rayner side of the family.  what a GREAT vacation - thank you patty and freddy!  we're already looking forward to next year...  

freddy (buddy or bub-BAH), patty (kissy), pat, me, laurel, ginger (pat's sister), chris (her husband), and warner (their 2 year old)

and on the balcony of the condo

some people think they look alike.  maybe it's the hair...?

aunt ginger.  isn't she beautiful?

not so sure about the water at first.  a little worried.

okay, maybe i trust daddy...

and now, i give you, warner lively.  what a funny little boy!  i LOVE this picture.  

this little man is ALL BOY.  nonstop action

can you tell how much sand is on his face and in his mouth?

oh man, i could just eat him up

warner is obsessed with his cousin, "baby jaurel."

i think baby jaurel likes him too

kickin back, watchin a little tv

the family did the "dress in white take thousands of pictures" one morning.  i think some of them turned out well.  

and some didn't.  good try, though, kiddos.
