.: Beach Trip to Watercolor, FL!

We had an amazing vacation at Watercolor Florida this past week! We went with our friends the Whelchels (Lee and Kristen and their two kids Emme and Jackson), and the Willis's (and their son Brody who all you know well if you read the blog often) The resort was fabulous, the house we rented was gorgeous, and the company was delightful as always. We really couldn't have asked for a better week! The resort is a "bike community" so the resort and amenities are built around this. We rented two beach cruisers and a bike trailer to tow Savannah and our beach/pool gear. It was so nice to not have to get in the car! The resort had 5 pools, each one better than the next! I think our fave was the frog pool where there are 3 ceramic frogs that squirt water into the pool! Savannah loved getting in and out of whatever pool we were at including the baby pool. She is truly a water bug! They had also built a new pool right by our house, with a built in gas grill and a baby pool. It was nice to have a spot to cool down 2 minutes away. We went to the beach several times, and she just loved it. Whether she was sitting in the sand playing with Brody, Emme and Jackson or just wading in the waves with Daddy. Savannah really enjoyed all the play time with the kids. She showed everyone her running abilities, as she ran UP and DOWN the hallway probably 1000 times. I think she might be a runner like her momma! Emme and Jackson were so helpful with the babies, reading to them, blowing bubbles, telling their mommas when they were getting into trouble....it was like extra hands! We also found out that Savannah and Emme's favorite foods are the same. Eggo Pancake Mini's!! Brody took to hugging Savannah and the other kids, it was so cute! He just wanted to cuddle! I think they really bonded this trip. The time with our friends was wonderful too, we'd stay up after the babies (most nights...lol) and chat on the porch. It's been awhile since we'd had that much time with friends. So needed! I did a tennis clinic one morning and had an amazing massage. Kevin and the boys fit in a workout everyday as well. The place was really wonderful. We're already planning our next trip!! Now that we know the place we can't wait to go back. We had professional beach pics taken on Thursday, the rain almost squashed our plans but we raced to beat the rain and the overcast/sunset skies made for an amazing background!! We really couldn't have asked for a better week. Hate to head back to the office tomorrow...do you think they'll let me have a glass of sangria at 2pm?? Ha ha! Enjoy the pics from the weekend...I posted a lot! I couldnt resist!
