Bray Reunion/ Beach Trip

This Beach trip was SO WONDERFUL! It intailed lots of RELAXATION, EATING, LAYING OUT, and BEING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY! LOVED, LOVED, LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF IT! Grant, Braylen, and I arrived on a Friday evening and we hung out with the cousins and their families and the sisters and just played catch up and ate pizza! Then Saturday we all got ready and went to the ANNUAL BRAY family reunion! It was so good to see everyone and sad at the same time because everyone is getting older. We aren't the little kids anymore running around....it is now our kids doing that. I know Grandmommy and Granddaddy and all the aunts and uncles have felt that for years! Anywho, we decided to play a little "Current Events" Game so everyone could get caught up with each other. It was a success but not sure if everyone loved it or not. Oh well, at least I walked away with some NEW "NEWS" on some distance family members! So then that night, my aunt and uncle and their families were the host of dinner...it was Italian and delicious. Then, everyone called it a night because it was such a LONG DAY! Sunday was Bodie and Braylen's first day at the BEACH....it was "somewhat fun." I am not a fan of SAND up the butt and all over you and not sure if Braylen was either....! She liked the water and the sand inbetween her toes but she also wanted to eat it. Our day at the BEACH was super funny though b/c Grant insisted on having the BIG tent out there and the little small one. Well we set up the BIG tent and it was NEVER used.....and I mentioned to him that it would be pointless to bring down....he didn't think so! The little tent worked for BODIE to fall asleep but Lis and Grant couldn't seem to get the tent folded back up....it took them a while but Hannah, Rodger and I were sitting on the side lines giggling....this was a moment you just had to be there! Then we headed to the pool to enjoy the afternoon and then that night was OUR NIGHT to host dinner....we did a TACO BAR...and boy was it YUMMY and SUPER FRESH! Homemade guacomole and salsa....YUM! Anyways, that night was also our FAMILY PICTURES night.....they turned out GREAT minus the WIND blowing all of our hair. All in All they were wonderful pics! The rest of the trip just consisted of...getting up REALLY early (she was always awake) so Grant and I would rotate on who would stroll her for the hour while the other worked out and then we would come in around 8:30 or so and someone would eventually be up! Then, we would all eat breakfast and then get suited up for the POOL.....come in for lunch and Bray's nap and then Grant or my mom or dad were so kind to stay up in the Condo while I went and relaxed by the Pool! Next, up to shower, eat dinner and then just hang out! Nothing to overly exciting on this Beach trip but it was wonderful and just how we wanted it to be....laid back, and stress free!
