Beach Fun

This past week we went on our annual Harris family beach trip. This year there were 17 of us in one house- one very large house. Julianna and I went down on Saturday after her recital, and Jason followed on Tuesday morning. One night we had a dance party, we spent many days at the beach, we (Julianna) rode rides at Broadway at the Beach, we enjoyed homemade ice cream almost every night, we played in the pool, Emma and Mason came to visit with Rhonda, we played with our cousins. We had a great time. In fact, we were so spoiled by the activity that we have had a hard time getting back to normal life. Julianna is pretty bored without 5 cousins running around and constantly entertaining her. We are already looking forward to the trip next year!!!Julianna doing "the worm" at the Dance Party

Recital

Last Saturday, Julianna had her dance recital at Porter Ridge High School. The title of the recital was: Through the Garden Gate. She was in two performances- in the first she was a blue butterfly (ballet) and in the second they dressed in raincoats and tap danced to Singing in the Rain. Both were great. She was great. She knew all her moves and made us very proud.

More Cruisin'

The pictures from the cruise were too great not to include more...And no, the grandparents aren't taking applications for new grandchildren!

Cruisin'

Last week Julianna went on her first annual Grandchildren's trip. Every year for about the last 15 years, Grandpa Tony and Grandma Hazel have taken their grandchildren on a fabulous vacation. We have been to the Outer Banks, the Grand Canyon, the mountains, and many other wonderful places. This year the kids were lucky and they got to go on their 4th cruise with Grandma and Grandpa. Since I no longer go (too old and married), now Julianna gets to go. The first great-grandchild to go! There were 7 kids and the grandparents on a cruise to the Bahamas.
Julianna had a wonderful time. She snorkeled, ate steak three nights, went to shows on the boat, and enjoyed the cruise life. She and Mason had a great time together making each other laugh. Grandma said that they spent an entire dinner telling each other "knock-knock" jokes and laughing hysterically at each other. That is hysterical in itself if you have ever heard one of these jokes.
