Day ?-- I am losing track

I think this was day 4. I can't seem to remember. I know, pathetic huh? This day the boys played golf in the morning at Kiva Dunes. Jarred played here once before and loved the course, he was excited to be going back. From what I hear it was an interesting morning for them, but they had a great time. We meet them for lunch and then we had a wonderful day of outlet mall shopping. It was an awesome outlet mall, probably double to triple of our size at home. We found some great deals. It is funny that we mainly shop for the girls now. How can you not with all the cute clothes they have? I did get a dress at Ann Taylor that I think I am going to save to wear on my birthday. If you could see it you would know it screams me. Hint: Animal print and a hint of red. I love this picture. All I can say is that Ava and Aubree and lucky to have such great daddies! It really takes a special man to be a great father to girls and I am so thankful that these guys are the best.

Waterpark, beach, and pool

As you can see this vacation was all about the water. It is what we love. (Well, me and Ava!)

We went to the waterpark because they had a huge play are for kiddos. Let's just say it did not plan out the way we wanted. After about 45 minutes of playing one of the lifeguards approached and told us only one at a time on the slides. What!?! She is not big enough to go down by herself. Money back and one girl not ready to leave.



She was not upset for long. How could she be when it was time for the beach. This girl was in love with the waves. Not really the sand. She kept wanting us to brush it from her hands. Sorry Ava, it was a little impossible.

Can you really call it a fun day at the beach if daddy does not bury you? Nah...

Time for some fun for the dads!

Aubree did not want to be her feet in. The pool is more her style!
Then it was pool time.
DORKS!

Someone was not ready to get out. This picture cracks me up! What a funny girl!

Highlights from Day 2

Andee, JD, and Aubree came to stay with us for a few days and we had the best time! It is so great to have friends that are more like family.

The girls had so much fun getting ready on our first morning together. I hope they are always friends and like to hang out together. It makes for happy parent time. Do you think these girls are going to be girly? Nah....


That night we went to a neat restaurant called the Hangout. That is really what is was. Such a great place just to hangout and get some yummy food. They had a huge sand hill that the kids could run up and down, water troughs, and a bubble machine. The kids loved the bubble machine. I thought it was going to make little bubbles but it was more like a giant bubble bath on the ground. You have to admit that this is pretty neat!?!

We really were so glad that The Kesners' spent a few days with us. We are really lucky to have such wonderful friends. Thankful for sure! I loved feeling like I lived with my old room mate again. It is funny how much you can miss someone.
Waves + Sand + Lots of water + Grilled hot dogs + Strawberries + Cheetoes + Playing on balcony + Reading + Naps = Recap of first day

Destination Gulf Shores.


Interesting facts from the road.

A seven hour drive feels more like 14 with hubs singing in his high pitched voice to 80s songs.

If you don’t have a light for your Kindle, a hunting headlamp works great. Yes people passing that was me. I know I looked crazy but it worked. (I will add a light to my Christmas list!)

There is a Frost, LA (Yes, Brooke there really is!)

I only saw one Hobby Lobby on our road trip. (Yikes! What is a scrapbooker to do?) I did at least count 9 Targets.

There was a state park called Tickfew. Who would stay there?

We passed 4 state lines.

Our first family road trip-success!

The Greatest Show on Earth. Not really. It was really a waste of money. It was not a "real" circus, more like singing and dancing. We were not impressed. I remember it being much better...

At least Ava was free!

I sound negative huh? I am really not usually! ;-)
