A Week in the Bahamas

We are back from a great, fun week in the Bahamas! Our parents rented a home there for the week and all 14 of us were there. It was such a blessing to have the whole family there!
Sisters and Best Friends :)

The cousins had so much fun playing on the beach and in the pool.  I think it was probably the best week of Oliver's life. He had SOOO much fun with his cousins, especially, his older cousin, Grant.

Our parents honeymooned in the Bahamas 40 years ago! They renewed their wedding vows on the beach- it was so special. 40 years- congratulations!!

Cousin Kate and Uncle Jim

The couples took turns babysitting the kids while the other adults went out for dinner (we tried all 14 of us going out to dinner together- this way was much more relaxing.) Here are the kids the night that Josh and I babysat. We were acting out a story for them in the media room-such good babysitters ;). Though, Grant said his favorite was Uncle Bryan.

The girls stayed inside and baked cookies and played with playdough. I loved spending special time with my two beautiful nieces!!

Uncle Hal  (currently in seminary)  "officiated" the renewing of the vows
