Beaches and other good times

Happy Father's Day, everyone!  We got home on Friday from the most fabulous time with our families and with my girls!  I had over 200 pictures, so the following barely skims the surface...

Here are my childhood friends, with whom I had a girls' weekend in Atlanta that first weekend. 

Betsy, Katie, Whitney, and I have been inseparable (in heart, anyways!) since the age of four, for Betsy and Katie, and the age of nine for Whit!  It was medicine to the soul to be with them.

We got to run up to Chattanooga to see the Gregory family for a day and a half as they couldn't join us at Amelia Island this year, and it was so great to be with all of them!  Jo will laugh that I chose this pic for that day, but it was a classic moment of all the kids having a great time in the backyard... and my big sister getting soaked by her kids.

The Gross fam went down to Destin the next week, and Jake and Paul joined us a day later.  It was so fun having the whole family there- fabulous family time, great weather, great SOUTHERN beach, and wonderful pool!

Here are Sandy, Betsy, Luke (3 months), Ken, us, Cade (2) and Paul.

"I LOVE THE BABY POOL!!!"

I left the Gross family trip a bit early while Jake kept Abby Jane with them... and I joined my roommates in Panama City!  We had a WONDERFUL weekend of long overdue quality time- I love those girls!
Then Jake, Abby Jane, and I joined my family at Amelia Island for the last week.  This is her first night there... so glad to be on the beach!

Happy girl with her daddy

My brother Greg and his family (Ryan-4, Scott-6, Ashley-1), us, and my mama.

It was a great trip, but we were so glad to back home, too! Abby Jane ran around like a kid in a candy shop when she got home and saw all her own things.  Hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend!
