Burgers Lake

Julia and I went with Granny, Brianna, Etan, Elizabeth, Kristin, Lauren and Rick to Burger's Lake. Burgers Lake is a spring fed lake located in Fort Worth. It has all kinds of water fun that we try to go to at least once a summer. Julia had fun playing on the sandy beach.

Brianna and Ethan were visiting from California. They requested the trip to Burgers Lake while they were here.

Family Vacation at the Beach

We went with the family to Panama City Florida to the beach. We stayed at a Condo called Splash. We had a beautiful view from the balcony.

Yes, we were the dorky family who wore matching "Family Vacation" shirts on our excursion day. We went on a boat ride to Shell Island. We collected lots of sea shells and we even saw dolphins swimming.

We spent every day at the beach.

Julia's favorite thing was building sandcastles.

Valerie's favorite thing to do was The Lazy River running through the Condo Lobby.We ate out at some great seafood restaurants every night. Julia liked it when Aunt Renee told her it was vacation so she could have cookies for breakfast.

One night when David was trying to decide which way to turn Julia told him to just follow the palms trees.

Valerie and Renee. Chis had to work and could not come with us.
