VaCaTiOn 2012!!!

HeLlOoooo.....

We recently returned from a week-long vacation! We had a MaRvElOuS time!

Our first stop was in Indiana with some relatives that we didn't really know until just recently (we knew of them but just never really spent much time together) They welcomed us into their house in the wee hours of the night and served us up a wonderful breakfast the next morning!

Fun animals and BeAuTiFuL flowers!

Then back on the road to meet "new" family!

(My Mom found 2 sisters and a brother that she had never met before so that's what I mean by "new".)

Mom & Aunt Jami sang....

Molly played with Uncle Calvin's fake eye...

I got to meet/hang out with my girl cousins - Miranda & Hannah......definitely did NOT get enough time with these ladies....
(there are boy cousins too!)
*going to have to do something about that*

We just had a fantastic time! Everyone was wonderful! And their accents are just adorable!!!

Back in the truck and headed south...

Alligators...YIKES!

Papa & Jilli on @ the Atlantic for their 1st time ever!

Molly...

Trent & Eli...not sure who was having more fun...

Eli taking a little snooze on the toilet :)

We had such a great time I didn't think I wanted to come back home. 
The closer we go to home....the more I wanted to be home :) 
Now we are back and it all feels like a dream. 
What a blessing to take a vacation with amazing people to meet amazing people! 
The greatest part of all....they are my FaMiLy :)
