Perdido Key 2009

Nick's family goes on a family vacation each year, usually to Florida. This year the destination was Perdido Key, FL near the Alabama border. We rented three condos on the beach and had a blast! We drove 12 hours through the night to get to Florida and Allie slept almost the entire way. We got checked in and the fun began!
We shared a condo with Nick's sister and the triplets. All for kids seemed to like having one another around to play with. Allie liked stealing all of the boys' food, sippy cups and binkys. She also learned some new words from the boys throughout the week, mainly "no-no." She now tells on herself while she's doing something she shouldn't be which is hilarious.
Allie didn't seem to mind the sand and actually liked the ocean. The zero-entry pool was another big hit with Allie and the boys. They could walk or crawl in and out of the water as they pleased which was so nice.
Nick spent one day deep sea fishing and caugth a 6 foot bull shark! I didn't take Allie to the dock when they got back so I've only seen it in pictures.
Allie had an allergic reaction to just about every sunscreen we tried. Her poor little face swelled up and got all red and splotchy. Her pediatrician recommended asking the pharmacist for suggestions and we finally found a winner in Blue Lizard Sensitive sunscreen. No more problems the rest of the week!
All in all it was a fabulous vacation! We enjoyed some delicious food, wonderful weather and great time as a family. Here's a group shot of all of the kids.

I took way too many pictures to post here (surprise, surprise I know) so you can see the rest of them here: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AZtW7hy4btWLDwA
