St George Island, Florida ... June 6 - 12, 2011

Matt and Heather Nickel spoke to us a few months ago about renting a beach house in St.George Island, Florida with their family.  We drove down there and met them Sunday night for a week of warm weather and swimming and letting the kids get to know each other and play together.  It was absolutely fantastic.  The house had a swimming pool as well, so once everyone was tired each day from the beach and salt water we were able to spend some time in a fresh water pool.  The kids all got along great and it was fun to get to know Matt and Heather's kids better.  We had 11 kids and 4 adults but it never felt cramped.
In the evenings we went out crab hunting (I only actually went out once, but everyone else went a couple of times).  The crabs come out and roam the beach at night, so you can take a flashlight and see a ton of crabs scampering around.  It was actually a little freaky, but exciting.
We stayed through the next Saturday night before starting the drive back to Louisville.  It was a perfect vacation and the beach vacation Heather has been asking to take for quite a while.
