Endless entertainment!! The favorite place to play for everyone was the beach, no surprise there! The boogie boards, the tide pools, the waves, snorkeling, and splashing with cousins never got old. However, the fun came to an abrupt end for Damon and Mackenzie when they both got stung by a jellyfish. Even though he was hesitant to get back out there, I was proud of him for doing it. He was nervous but couldn't miss out on the fun or playing. The water was warm and pretty clear. Next time we will remember to bring water shoes for everyone because there were so many rocks!! The rocks were fun to explore day and night. There were little creatures everywhere, but also jellyfish and sharp edges so we had to be careful.
Savanna set up a pickleball tournament too. Many of us had never played before, and it was a lot of fun! I even got dragged into. It was slightly embarrassing because I couldn't decide which hand I wanted the racket in, so I would switch back and forth without even noticing. It was pretty funny. Kyler and Damon picked it up pretty quickly and would have been even better with a little more time to get used to it.
The Beach
Radley getting swallowed
Damon loving the waves
They were having an absolute blast!
Mackenzie and Logan played with the surfer guy for a long time.
She was having so much fun!!
Do all little girls scream when they are playing??
The Jellyfish
Damon thinks this is the kind of jellyfish that stung him. None of us are positive what kind it was, but this blue one sure is beautiful.
He was in a lot of pain!
Poor guy
Still a momma's boy at heart!
It got him pretty good!
It went all up and down his arm and even got some of his fingers.
Mackenzie didn't get stung quite as bad, but she perked up pretty quickly once she started to talk to Oma & Papa Dude.
Cuddles with Mom made this one better too!
Mackenzie talking to Damon about when she got stung by a jellyfish.

Pickelball
I didn't get many pictures or videos of pickleball, many next time.
Damon and Cary Shane playing together. Damon did great; unfortunately, they didn't get to move on.
Kyler & Tyce. They played well together also. I think if they had played one more game they would have been awesome!
Damon was pretty quick!
Fishing Trip
The men all went on a fishing charter, but it wasn't the best experience. They had fun, but the fish were not that great and the boat experience was lacking.
Cousins, games and more!! Savanna had a lot of fun games and activities for all of us to do. Mostly, the kids just liked to hangout with one another. There was pickleball, mini-golf, volleyball, little tide pools in the rocks, crab hunting, night games, and more. Playing at the beach was also a highlight.
Everyone LOVED baby India
After seeing other cousins 'swim' in the fountain, Logan and Mackenzie wouldn't leave!
Ashlyn, Bentley, & Gentry
These boys were ALWAYS together!
The sweetest
Babies, babies everywhere
Bodies everywhere too!
I LOVE this. She was showing Dad all her treasures.
Playing a little golf with Papa
Boogie boards were a huge hit!!
Beach Games
One of the fun games Savanna had for everyone. I was impressed the bungee held up even through the adults using it.
Bentley worked hard to get her flag!
They picked the right kid for this game. Damon LOVED it! He had a great time.
They also picked the right adult for the game too! Keyan is such a good sport!
Water balloon fight fun!
Cousins
So so many people and the family keeps on growing!
S'mores by the beach
Trying to find a place for the kids to hangout while the adults played some games was a bit of a challenge because of the number of kids! But they didn't complain!
