Moments with the Maner's: Spring At Last

So yes I know it is almost Summer and I am just now posting about Spring. Here is my issue, I for whatever reason can't bring myself to just go from my last post to the most recent event in our lives and skip everything in between. I am terrible at scrap booking or journaling, all I have is tons of pictures in chronological order in photo albums, so if I do not put things in order on here and write about them I will not remember them.

Anyways...Spring did come and of course has already gone, but it was a wonderful time of year.

We went on our first family vacation. When I say first family vacation, it is the first vacation that my brother and his family, my mom and dad, and Josh, Morgan and I have gone on. We went down to our favorite place in Florida, Panama City! (favorite meaning free place to stay and good memories) We have been going to PC since Jeremy and I were in elementary school! It was a great time of hanging out on the beach and eating good food.

This was Morgan's second trip to the beach and I can say it was a much better experience than bringing her down when she was only 3 1/2 months old. She did awesome driving down and back for the six hour drive, thanks to portable dvd players and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse/Blues Clues. She absolutely LOVES being outside, so she enjoyed being on the beach! She unfortuantely was not a big fan of the sand, so we had to bring a huge blanket to lay her pool and chair on so she she would walk around with out freaking out! Another thing she absolutely LOVES is kids, younger or older. She thought she was such a big girl being around all of her older cousins.

This year we celebrated Morgan's second Easter. Josh and I reminisced on how so much has changed since last Easter. Last Easter Morgan was only a few weeks old and so we had all the family dropping in and out, bring food and of course seeing the baby. This year she is now walking all over the yard very excited to carry her small little Easter basket and pick up the colorful eggs. I was quite surprised on how quickly Morgan picked up on she needed to pick up all the eggs before anyone else! My Nana has a huge front yard that is beautiful and tradition has it that we always have an Easter egg hunt and lunch at her house.
