GUATOBERFEST 2008!!

Yeah, we're here, we're at the beach!! Ellie and Sophie were so excited to be out of the car after ten hours!!

Time to take the "luggage" up to the room!

Aww... aren't they cute from behind?

Meeting up with Daniel in the elevator!!!


Aren't we silly?


The hammocks were so much fun!

The sand was so silky smooth!

And the water felt great... too bad Mr. Sun did not come with us!

Yikes! The waves are getting me!

Just hanging around!


So much fun!

Awww... isn't she beautiful? My heart just melts!

Seriously...


These chicas are friends forever!

Heading to the Guatoberfest reception with Joseph and Daniel!

Can he get ANY sweeter??


Brother and sister reunited and having a ball!


Are they not the cutest cheesers?


Finally got to hug my friend, Holly! We could not catch Gia to be in the picture with us... she was like lightening running around! And SO TALL!


Julia, Kerry and Megan... you ladies ROCK!


Global Orphan Team!


What love bugs!


OMG! John Bryan and Gia are here!


Holly, Nino, Abby Grace and Bryan - who do you think have their mommies and daddies wrapped around their cutie patootie little fingers?


Girl Power! - Ellie, Sophie and Gabriella!


Sophie, Kya Grace and Gabriella


Gorgeous Miss Maya


The aquarium was a blast!


The charming Miss Sofia


And finally wrapped my arms around my dear friend, Tricia with our Sophia/Sofias!


Ring around the rosey everywhere!


Making a wish!


Whee!! So much fun at Carousel Park!


Ho Ho Ho


Scrub a dub dub, two cuties in the tub!


Squeaky clean and having to say goodnight and goodbye.


Our last morning there and the sun finally came out!


Bye Bye Beach!


Yeah! Finally got a few minutes with Laurie and Mindy!


Home again, home again, jiggity jig.


I so wish I had been able to spend more time hanging out with the fantastic people that were there! Bug had an upset tummy, so our time was cut short the one night we all hung out in the lobby together. I was so excited to meet so many people I have met through the blogs and FFF! To see all our beautiful and amazing children together in one place was a sight to see! We are all so incredibly blessed!

I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I had hoped!

Thank you so much Julia, Kerry, Megan, Kim, Holly and everybody else who helped put together such an amazing event! I look forward to next year!!

Themes - Need Ideas!!

OK... I almost forgot! The theme for this week's Favorite Foto Friday is "FRIENDS". Post your pictures of your kiddos and their favorite moments with their friends!!

And, yes, I picked a very convenient theme for me - LOL! since we just spent our vacation with one of Sophie's little friends that will make it fun to post some pictures of them together.

I am also looking for some ideas for future FFF themes, so please leave a comment here with your awesome ideas... I can come back to this post to gather your awesome ideas in one place!!

Oh, and for those of you that haven't heard yet... GUATOBERFEST in Myrtle Beach is coming up October 10-13! It was such a blast last year and I cannot wait to go back again this year! I can't wait to meet more of my blog buddies in person! Rooms are filling up fast, so please hop over and check it out and book your rooms! It is going to be a blast!

One more question for those that use bloglines or RSS feeds... which one do you use and do you like it?
