Beach Week part 1

After spending a week and a half relaxing at home, I'm down at New Smyrna Beach with Ryan's family. (I was so relaxed at home, I didn't really take any pictures except at the ballgame. We spent lots of time watching great movies, talking, relaxing, walking, playing games, and hitting the sales in every store possible. It was perfect to just do whatever we felt like doing!) Here's a few snapshots of what we've been up to:
Reading by the water while the "kids" play in the surf (no shark bites yet, btw)

Ryan and his mom, Valeri

Celebrating Uncle Andy's birthday: L to R (there are 16 of us here)
Vicki (standing, Valeri's twin sister), Luke, Gramma, Uncle Andy (kneeling), Chelsea (standing behind), Ross, Valeri, Robin, Zach, Whitni's arms, (these two are Vicki and Andy's kids), and Aaron (Whitni's husband)





I've learned to play shuffleboard

Shuffleboard is a lot of fun, they seem to love it all over FL. How is the surfing?!

How big is that condo to accommodate 16 of you!?? It looks like so much fun there on the beach. I thought that was YOU with Ryan when I first glanced, before reading the caption, and I thought "Jaclyn is looking more like Ryan all the time!" See you soon.
