Murphy Family Vacation

In August we went with my family to the beach for a week....so that total comes to 8 adults and 6 kids:)  We usually go to the Caribe in Orange Beach strictly for the entertainment the slides provide for the kids!!! It was a great week that included....swimming, jet skies, seafood, catching up with friends, celebrating my birthday,  relaxing, and telling old stories with my siblings and laughing until way too late in the night!!!

Emily Kathryn took swim lessons this summer and it was worth every dime.  She has become such a great swimmer in such a small amount of time.  It's definitely something we will do again next year.  

EmK wore these goggles for 7 days straight.  She would have red rings around her eyes after several hours.  It's interesting to see how particular she becomes with age....she couldn't wear anyone else's goggles the entire time...just hers...the PINK ones.  Thanks Aunt Holley!  

Jordan and my brother purchased this hat thinking I would actually wear it to dinner...THANKFULLY EmK wanted to wear it instead (btw, this child is obsessed with birthdays...she sings happy birthday to herself all the time)
