Fantastic Friday ~ Vacation 2011

Today was our last full day of vacation ~ and we took advantage of it.  We didn't make Cooper take a nap and let the kids swim until almost dark.  The men went and picked up dinner for us so we didn't have to waste precious swimming time getting ready and going out somewhere.  WARNING:  there are a TON of pictures...it's just so hard to choose from the 800+ pictures and videos I took this week!

No pictures of dinner in the room, but our week wouldn't be complete without one final trip to the FROZEN MOO!
What a great week we had, we can't wait for next year's vacation...I've already started planning it!!!
