McIver Family Beach Trip September 2014

Every year we head to Cape San Blas, Florida with Ryan's family. It is a trip that we look forward to and always have so much fun! This year, in addition to Ryan's immediate family going, some of his Aunt's, Uncle's, and cousins came too! We had 3 houses on the beach with a shared pool. It could not have been a more perfect setup...big thanks to Mama Jules for planning and organizing everything!

A few of my favorite highlights of the trip...
-Dance parties with the entire family. I think we wore out the song "all about that bass"
-Family dinners. Each house took turns cooking and then we gathered at that house to eat.
-Sibling date night. We had an adventure full of belly laughs trying to find the restaurant we originally planned to go to. A night out without the kids and just the siblings was just what we all needed!
-PIRATE NIGHT! I loved getting dressed up!
-Naked babies on the beach! Julianne and Hollis were rolling in the sand (and eating it), so Katie and i decided to just let then go naked. It was hilarious! They both were running around like crazy and doing rolls and dives in the sand!
-Watching Ryan play with Hollis on the beach. Melt my heart!
-Ryan feeling baby boy kick for the first time. It was our last day on the beach and he was moving all around and Ryan got to feel that first kick! I was 17 weeks pregnant.
