Family Florida trip

With the advent of facebook, I have to apologize for the lack of posts on Sage's blog. I deemed our recent family trip to Florida worthy of some recognition. So here goes:

It all started on saturday May 8th. We only had a 30 min drive to the airport, due to our recent move back to the Denver area, so Sage was much happier traveler. We had some time in the airport so we all enjoyed drinks at Chili's to go. The waitress was more than happy to hook Sage up with her own OJ margarita!

We arrived in Pensacola with Mom and Dad Brzak ready and waiting to take us to our San Destin location. The house luckily fit all 11 adults and 2 kids, not perfectly comfortable, but manageable. There was a pond out the door for our viewing pleasure. It made for great pictures, some kayaking and okay fishing.

The beaches are amazing down the in the Florida panhandle. I was amazed at how blue the water was. We were very blessed to be able to see this area before the oil spill hits the shore here. Sage was definitely our little beach girl. She loved playing in the sand and running on the beach. But the most fun, was the surfing. She didn't much like the water so we kept to the sand. It was easier anyways.

We enjoyed some great family times, good food and drinks. Some of the boys and girls got to go deep sea fishing. Although, it was Steve-O that pulled in the 2 grouper for us. So we did get our fresh fish dinner that was wished for. We got to celebrate Erin's 30th and Karen's 60th birthdays with them. Hopefully they enjoyed it. I think the mom's of the group were especially blessed to be able to hug each in person on Mother's Day. We even squeezed in some family pictures on the beach! Take a look at the photo album for more. This is only 1 of many taken our last night of vacation.

It was a relaxing week. We loved being with the Brzak's, Connelly's and Reichert's for a whole week. I wish we could do more! Sage had such a great time. She loved being able to hang with her new cousin, Samuel Gregory. He is such a wonderful addition to the family. Even he turned out to be a great beach bum!

So thank you to all of our wonderful families. I am so happy we all made time to travel to a destination place to celebrate life, family and love. Sage has been a new girl since that trip. She looks forward to seeing you again at different times later this year.
