We are back!!--Edited with picture overload at the bottom
The trip was fabulous. Christopher did really well traveling, even though we sat on the runway for 2+ hours taking off and had horrible turbulence coming back last night And the weather was terrible, we aren't even tan. We did take Christopher in the pool twice though.
I have a plethora of SIL stories, I will post them a little later with some photos ( I have 180+ on my camara and DH's aunt is mailing a cd with everyone else's photos which is 1000+ )
So, what did I miss, it looks good

Re: We are back!!
Ok, so I am going to post pictures b/c they are too darn cute not to and I'll take the risk.
Anyway. Our trip was fantastic. We got to JFK and it was a MADHOUSE! Just plain chaos, but JetBlue was moving nad shaking, so we got through the huge line very quickly. DS did have a meltdown and DH had to go buy water that we then had to dump out We went through security and they checked hte lining of my stroller and car seat .
We boarded and then waited...and waited...and waited. For two hours. Christopher did fantastic, just giggling and eating a bottle. He fell asleep just before take off.
We then had to drive 4 hours to the beach house DS slept for 3.5 of them and then had a meltdown b/c he was hungry, so I hopped in the back and fed him.
We got to the house (I didn't take any pictures of the house, so here is the Linky to house ) and it was so nice to see everyone. They were just about to have dinner and Aunt Sue had made t shirts for everyone b/c this was the 10 year of the reunion.
Ooo, have to run out, I will add WAY more later
Ok, I am back, DH left for work.
So, SIL was already POed because Sophie is in a "NO" phase and doesn't want anyone but SIL or BIL to hold her, my SIL actually said "I want my free babysitting and she isn't cooperating" MIL did manage to actually get Gentlease, but apparently they don't sell Luvs in Florida so she and SIL decided that Walgreens generic would be fine for him....but that my neice needed Pampers Whatever, free diapers, I don't really care, even though he pooped through them onto my pants during dinner one night
Our biggest surpriseof the week was how shy DS is, it took him 3 days to warm up to everyone, but once he did, he was loving on people.
My SIL DEMANDED her own room next year....since Sophie wasn't sleeping at all (that karma) and DS slept like dream, went down at 8:30pm, slept til 4am, ate, went back to sleep til 7:30am. But that was Christopher's fault, he messed up Sophie's schedule somehow (yeah right). And she and BIL got in a fight at 6am Thursday morning (remember we were sharing a room) where she kicked him out of the house and told him she wanted a divorce, screaming at the top of her lungs while her DD pointed at my sleeping DS and screeched "BAYBEE BAYBEE BAYBEE"
All in all it was really nice, here are a bunch more pictures: Meeting Great Grandpa for the first time (Christopher LOVED him) Family pool shot Sophie watching Elmo And saying "NO" With Great Grandma (one of my favorite shots) Christmas in July SIL--the vegetarian And my new favorite picture

Looks like a really nice time despite SIL issues. Is that pool part of the house (backyard)? How did this work? You rented the whole house for the week. Is it on the beach or near the beach?

On my DH's mom's side of the family there are 5 kids, their kids, and now their grandkids plus grandma and grandpa and spouses. Everyone lives all over the country, so DH's grandma rents a house and everyone convenes for a week in Florida at the end of July every year.
The pool is in the yard and the beach is about 50 feet away or so. There were 4 king rooms those went to DH's grandparents, two uncles and their wives and one uncle and his girlfriend. There were two rooms with two sets of bunk beds and one went to DH's aunt and her husband and two of their 3 kids and the other one went to me, DH, SIL, BIL and our kids. The rest of the kids slept in the media room (the theater) on air mattresses or on the recliners.
It is a great trip, but it is a lot of work to get there. Each family cooks dinner on one night, so only one night does everyone go out (we missed it, it was last night) and it is a lot of fun. But there isn't much to do on the island, so it isn't for people who want attractions, KWIM?

Re: We are back!!--Edited with picture overload at the bottom
OMG! Yes we did! But not at the same time...
Oh and I can't believe I forgot this, the kids did a talent show and made fun of SIL and her weirdo tattoos. She has a circle on one arm and a line ( ) around the other, this is Becca with the tattoos drawn in eye liner Then they said she met a tattoo artist in Appalachicola named Bubba nad was having "Hot Mama" tattooed on her forehead
One of the MAJOR highlights of my trip
