Atlantis

We just got back from the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas! Jeff's grandma B took the whole family on this awesome vacation for her 80th Birthday! We played at the water park, the beach, we went scuba diving and snorkeling, ate lots of yummy food and loved being with family. Thanks MaryLynn and Karen and Dave. It was so much fun!

Be prepared for a lot of pictures and sorry they are out of order!the HotelKaren and Dave on the beach in front of the water slide towers. The slides were so fun- they went through enclosed shark tanks and fish tanks. Jeff's brother Marc and his wife Brooke at dinner

Cute pictures! that trip was so fun! Emma keeps talking about her "friends" at school (?) and two of them are named Ashlyn and Ellie! I think we should celebrate every year of ML's life like this!
