Our O'Reilly Vacation

We just got back from a wonderful week-long vacation to Amelia Island, Florida, where we went to spend time with Sean's family. We were there with Sean's parents (celebrating their 40th anniversary this year), his two sisters, their husbands, and George's six cousins. We rented a house right on the beach for the week and it worked out great! Here's are a TON of pictures from our week:
Here's George and his Pa walking up to the ocean for the first time... Pointing to the waves, he LOVED the water!

With his Nana and two cousins (all the kids loved playing at the beach)...
Loving the waves! He had no fear around the water at all, often times crawling right toward the waves until he'd get a big splash in the face.
With Sean and his older cousins (L-R: Joe, Reilly, & Brendan)...
Just a cute pic on the beach...
"Helping" build a sand castle with the big kids...
This is the house that we rented. It had four big bedrooms (one for each couple) with a private bathroom for each, a cool loft where the big kids slept, and a big screened-in porch looking out on the water. George and the triplets slept in pack n plays with their respective parents.
George and Madison modeling their O'Reilly t-shirts. They are family members #14 and #15. Sean's dad is #1, his mom is #2, and so on until you get to these two youngest members!
Here's the front of the shirt...
Here are Caitlin and Madison looking insanely cute on the boogy board...
And George showing off his moves...
Playing in the sand with the girls...
We had such a good time! For the most part, George did so well sleeping in an unfamiliar house with new noises and faces! On the third day in Florida, he did catch a nasty cold and had a very rough night, lots of crying, a high fever, sweating through his jammies, etc., but it only lasted a couple days and then he was back to his old self. Poor Ryan got it much worse and was not a happy camper the last couple days. We wish he and Kelly could have enjoyed the beach a bit more, but he should be on the mend now!
It was quite a shock to come home to 25 degree weather, but I'm actually glad it was so cold here because it made for a good escape to the beach!
I hope I didn't bore you with all the pictures (Laura, I know I didn't bore you!!)

First of all, you can never post too many pictures! I am pretty sure on our last FL vacation I had about 17 different posts. Second of all, George looks so cute in all of these-love him in the skull and cross bone swim stuff! Third, that beach house looks awesome! Fourth, the O'Reilly shirts are seriously the best things ever. So glad you had a great vacation, I vote on posting even more pictures!
