Our last trip of the summer was a family vacation through Josh's work to Naples, Florida! We went with the same family, the Turks, who we'd gone with the year before and were so excited to spend another week with them! We had a wonderfully relaxing week of hitting the beach, swimming in the pool, enjoying good food, doing some sight-seeing, and visiting with my Aunt Susan and her husband Ron, who live right by Naples! We had lots of fun with the Turks, and the kids spent a lot of time playing with their two kids and a couple of older kids on the trip, who did a great job entertaining them while we enjoyed some peaceful dinners with the grown-ups!
We also had some wonderful visitors come this summer! Our dear friends from college, Kim and Adam, were making a trip to South Texas, so they stopped at our house on the way for dinner! It was so good as always to see them and their adorable kiddos! We had a great time together, and it had me wanting for more time with them!
One of the highlights of our summers is always the Beasley visit! Josh's sister and family came out for a week, and we enjoyed getting to have them in our new house this time and swim in our pool together! The trip was made extra special this year, because our niece, Josie, got to come with them and spend the week with us, too! It was such a joy having her come out this time, and we wish she could come every time. She and Hannah have grown up so much, and we had so much fun talking, playing with hair and make-up, and shopping together! Billy, as always, cooked most of our (delicious) meals for us, which is such a treat, and we just enjoyed lots of time relaxing, and watching the kids play.
