Summer Vacation

We waited and waited and now it is over. Vacation with the family has come and gone - and we all survived. This is the first (and probably the last year) all of the Brechts have gone on vacation together. We spent a week at a beautiful house at Gulf Shores, AL. My mother-in-law was there as well.
We did family pictures at the end of the week at Fort Morgan. It is a great place to make pictures. This one is where we were trying to get everyone set for the family shot. I am sure Mary Kay will have better pictures (Darrell was the main photographer for this photo shoot). We tried to find a location that was easy to get to and not too much sun for Daddy. He seems to be doing great since his heart surgery.
We spent a little time at the beach, a lot of time at the pool, and some tof the time shopping. The guys went to play golf a couple of times during the week. We also took the kids to Waterville USA and The Track. Everyone enjoyed the water park; most enjoyed the go-karts and I think all enjoyed putt-putt at The Track.


Now, it's time to get ready for school... Hayden and Abigail are going into fourth grade, Sophie will be in first, Rachel and Daniel will be in kindergarten and Emma will be in a Mother's Morning Out program during the week. No more babies in our families. Once schools starts, we will begin planning for next year - we are thinking maybe Disney World.
