Our Beach Vacation 2009

We FINALLY got to take Evan to the beach this year at the end of the summer. It was a perfect trip except that it just wasn't long enough. We stayed in a wonderful resort hotel that had lots of fun swimming pools for Evan, including a large splash pool. Evan had not been to the beach since he was a tiny infant so we were so excited to show him everything. I had a really hard time narrowing down the pictures to put on the blog because we took so many good ones. I do apologize that this entry is so long, but you don't have to look at it if you don't want to.
