Anna Maria Island



Back to Anna Maria Island for our annual family vacation! We had an amazing time, and soaked in all our time away. We spent lots of time at the beach, boating, eating at all our favorite restaurants and swimming at the pool. We rented paddle boards and a sail boat for the first time, and we all loved our new adventures. Hadlee and Reese had so much fun, and LOVED spending their time with their Sophie and Lexie!! 

Early morning at the airport...these cute girls were ready for vacation!

We hit the beach as soon as we lugged our luggage in from the car!

A toothless wonder on the beach

Making sand castles

We had fun making Sophie into a mermaid!

And of course, Reese eating watermelon...naked!

They weren't sure what to think about all those fish on ice!

Hmm...

Swimmer girls

I  could get used to all the beautiful palms

We found this treehouse on our run. I had seen this on
the Today show earlier in the summer.

Gorgeous! And the city is making them tear it down due to zoning issues:(
