My step-sister Amber and I have loved each other for so long, really since the day we met. After daddy died we have not seen each other very often simply due to busy schedules, not lack of desire! We have missed each other and decided a reunion was in order. As children we LOVED beach trips to Atlantic Beach with Dad and Diane. We decided we would take the children down for an over-night stay...so at 6:30 a.m. we loaded up Amber's car with more stuff that you can imagne and headed east! It was seriously so much fun my sides ache from laughing! I think I have been a little depressed since returning home because it made me remember how much I love being with Amber and her children, Jackson and Carlie that I love SO much! They are growing up so fast and I feel like I have missed it! Watching all four of our children together was just what I have wanted for so long. Daddy would have loved it too!

You just can't imagine how much stuff we had just for this little trip! We even had to use the turtle shell on top of the car! Amber and I were a sight trying to load and unload all of our stuff and all of our children! It was a lot of work to have a lot of fun...worth every second! |

| Baby Girl hung in there with us! Aunt Amber loves to kiss babies! |

 |
| Juel was happy in her tent the first day...day two, not so much! |

 |
| Eating out in Morehead at the Sanitary! We all got T-shirts too! |
 |
| I love these two! |
 |
| We could not even stop laughing to take a picture! |
 |

Carlie was great at taking care of a real live baby doll!

We put the kiddos to sleep in the main room while Amber and I stayed up til 2:30 in the morning (remember our departure time at 6:30--have mercy) laughing and reminiscing! |
 |
Before our years of meeting boys down at the circle, Amber and I loved to pretend to be mommies at the beach! We would sit in our chairs dreaming of our future husbands and children! (By the way we thought life was tough then when it was a little too hot as we sat in the chairs for hours uninterrupted...now we were lucky to have a five minute stretch before someone was needing something!) It was a very sweet day however watching our very own children play together!
