we went on our 2nd annual smith family vacation to rosemary beach at the beginning of june. we had a wonderful time filled with lots and lots of sand, the ocean (until lofton's boat tipped over on day 3 and then she was D-O-N-E!), the pool, and food! the smith family always has plenty of food :)
we did not have a trip filled with sleep or wellness however. poor tiffany came a day late due to terrible kidney stones. a stomach bug attacked parker, peyton, and jeremy a day before they arrived and bit lofton in the car just minutes after leaving the airport....kendall, abigail, dewey, and my mom each had their turn as well. thankfully, it only lasted about 12 hours. we knew sleep would be a bit of an issue since lofton would be sleeping in our room and she no longer sleeps in a crib. our sweet friends casey and josh lended us their blow-up toddler mattress which is an excellent idea in theory...however, lofton would not stay in it so she fell asleep in bed with me, we moved her to the mattress, and she woke up a few hours later crying. at that point we had to snatch her up into our bed before she woke up the whole house. one night she started yelling and pushing dewey out of bed. i've never seen him run out of a room so quickly :)
overall, the kids played together fabulously and we had a wonderful time. looking forward to many more years to come! maybe next year we'll get some sleep, but if not, we will cherish this season of life all the same.
