Hodges Beach Trip 2008






We're fresh back from our first Hodges family vacation since the arrival of the babies and we had a great time.  It was so fun spending time with Mimi, Papa, Uncle Jason, Aunt Ali and Caroline.  This is the first chance that we've had to really get to know Caroline and it was so great!  She has an amazing personality.  So sweet and talkative, helpful and obedient and fearless as her mommy has labeled her.  She was all about the ocean, sand and pool with literally no fear.  Eli is a different story...

Our trip started out great as we flew from Pensacola to Atlanta to Daytona on Tuesday July 1.  Eli was awesome on both flights and Jeff was equally as awesome keeping our little one happy and calm.  As I stated earlier Eli is not fearless when it comes to the water.  I thought we were making progress since we've had a couple of pleasant experiences hear on the gulf lately but we'll get there.  He actually is fine in the water as long as you are holding him or entertaining him but don't even think about putting him in the water on his own.  Also, Eli's second tooth finally broke through while we were away and all I can say is its about time. 

I wanted to say a special thank you to Mimi and Papa for watching Eli and just being such a great help.  We were able to relax and play and just have a great time; in fact, while we were gone Jeff and I got to have to grown up dinners out which we never do and it was soooo nice!  Hope you enjoy the pics of our family vacation.
