November 2021 - Florida

Beutler Family Photos

This was the first time in a long time the entire Beutler family was together, so we took family pictures. It's a lot of work to look this good! ;-) 

Can you tell how Cole really felt about pictures by the end?

There was a large group of sting rays that swam right up to the beach near us. Cole loved trying to catch them.

Traveling

It's a lot of work to get to Florida with 5 kids! The sheer amount of planning and packing was enough to make me need a vacation from our vacation...

The big reason we went in November was to support Stan in his Ironman race. We had fun wearing matching shirts and cheering him on.

It was less expensive to rent the 12 passenger van than it was to get a normal mini van, so we did it. It was dubbed "Uncle David's Bus", and came in handy when we took excursions away from the condominiums.

Benson, Samantha and Charlotte getting to know each other quickly.

Between the beach and the pool, we spent A LOT of time in the water.

Of course I had to get one of the famous "Kaela haircuts" while we were together. She is amazing!

One afternoon was cold and rainy so we ventured out to a jump house in Panama City. The kids had a blast.

Dave took the older kids to the Ripley's believe it or not attraction as well - so much fun.

We spent an afternoon at the Panama City Beach Zoo/Petting Zoo too. The grandkids were all smiles (except when Benson fed the giraffe, then he freaked out).

By the time we made it to the airport Macy was spent.
