Floreeda!

Is there really any other kind of vacation than a beach vacation? I mean sure, traveling through Europe and taking in all the history has its perks, but seriously, nothing is as great as soaking up some sun and relaxing on the beach. With all that said, the Ross clan headed down to the Florida Panhandle. It wasn't the warmest, but we still enjoyed the sun, and even bared the cool water on our last day together. So after fun 5 days, and a house full of 13 people, we have lots of great pictures, fun stories and great memories.

Here are some highlights:

Mom and me chillin' on the balcony, enjoying the great view...

...Cause this was the view!!

We went to the local seafood festival, where they had a carnival as well. Yes I think carnivals are creepy, but Adam actually won a prize with his mad baller skillz, and we went on our first ride together. We had fun.

Brittany's birthday is actually TODAY! but we surprised her and celebrated it early while we were all together. Oh and I want Addie's curls!

A perfect day at the beach is when your family is the only one on it.

Gigi, Brooke, and new mama Carol with her sweet baby Alec.

She is sportin' the cutest bikini ever at only 8 weeks old! I think her and Solana with be best beach friends.

Logan sporting the taliban look.

Gigi soaking up the sun with Solana. Like mother like daughter, like granddaughter.

 I think she is a beach girl, which means my heart is singing!

Adam took her into the ocean, she had a blast.

 Maybe one day we can return to good ol' Cali, so she can be  near the beach all the time.

 Mom, Britt, Brooke, Solana, and me. Going to the local park

 First time on a slide.

So Adam and Daniel each ate a 72 oz. steak in under an hour.  It was an incredible accomplishment of food eating!  72 oz is 4.5 pounds, and each steak was about the size of a phone book, except bigger, thicker, and rarer!
