Bahamas 2012

We spent 8 days in June enjoying a wonderful trip to Atlantis in the Bahamas.  This was the first family vacation where we all flew together and left the country.  It was quite an experience flying with passports with all these kids...but totally worth it.  We all had so much fun being together for the week, and I have about a million pictures to prove it!  We also just happened to be on our trip during father's day, Summer & Layton's anniversary, and Jillian's 6th birthday!  So, we had a lot to celebrate.

on the plane

Our little NON traveler.  We did just about everything to keep this baby occupied on the plane...including happy meals and tootsie roll pops!

Atlantis had THE most amazing aquarium!  It was so huge and full of so many awesome fish!

We stayed in the Cove

the whole fan

This bench was right by the elevators on our floor.  The girls raced down here EVERY SINGLE TIME and would model on this bench when we all turned the corner.

Father's Day!!!

These girls are lucky to have this daddy

Summer and I had to sneak in a picture since we are usually behind the camera.

The best attempt at a family picture

Jules getting a braid in her hair

These two LOVE each other

The girls loved playing in these shaded lay out chairs!

Each day Mimi or Seth would walk P around in the stroller to get her to sleep.  AND SHE WOULD GO!  This baby doesn't sleep in public, so this worked out so nice for us each day!

Jillian LOVES her cousin Ansley...and wants to be just like her!

Mimi never disappoints!  She brought Jillian's birthday clothes all the way to the Bahamas!

And possible the best gift ever...according to Jillian

Even the sweet lady who cleaned our rooms sang Jillian a birthday song

Did I mention that Atlantis is EXPENSIVE?

But...shes worth every penny

Time to go home!  SAD!

We even caught Mimi doing the elevator bench pose once!!!

I see 5 exhausted girls on the way to the airport.  I'll give you one guess who ISN'T sleeping at this point!  Crazy P!
