Bags are packed--Beach part 3

Usually our mornings consisted of lots of eating, playing, planning of the day, and bag packing to go on some sort of adventure.  On Tuesday we headed to Big Kahuna's... minus Gran BoomPa, and Annie.

 The place is like highway robbery.  There was a parking fee, stiff fees to enter the premises, locker fees, and naturally your kids get hungry fees.  The 9 of us spent well over $300 at the water park.  It was a good time had by all who attended.

 Gran and BoomPa might not say their day was as fun.  Annie refused to take her bottle so BoomPa had to come fetch me from the park.  =(

 Good sleeping.  No one knows how his pants got on inside out of backwards..???

 Fancy snoozes too.

 And Fordman

 One day Trey went to play golf and I hit up The Track (go carts and such).

 Annie just hung out.

 Pool time....

 On this day he was tired and cranky.

 Hence the tired.

Trey Spent 60% of his time on some sort of electronic device... he needs help.  The addiction is bad.  Annie helped out one day!

 My 33rd birthday was at the beach.  We spent it at Baytowne.

 Zip lining

 Whose pushing me????

 He wanted to zip line too!!!

 She's too young!

 This needs to be documented as much as the fever blister.  So there were 15 rubber bracelets you were supposed to wear if you went into the pool area.  At the end of the week we were responsible for all 15 or they were $25 each.  BoomPa literally counted them every single day!

 Uncle Ken is just a big kid!

 Curls in motion

 I'd says "Baby Girl" as Trey calls her, won the sweet award all week...

This is a 4 part blog... make sure you read them all.

Bags are packed--Beach part 2

The “All My Bags Are Packed”- Beach part 2 version of my beach trip has taken longer than I anticipated writing about.  The reason, we needed a new wireless router.  But I’m back in business folks!

Puddin and Pops left on Saturday, July 11^th to head back to Mayberry and on that very day my people came down, Gran BoomPa, and my brother with his crew.  This meant relocating to a new facility that could house 12.  Notice I didn’t say “comfortably” because there ain’t nothing comfortable about 6 adults and 6 ankle biters under one roof.  Enough said!

When together, the kids take things to a whole new level… a loud level.  The ran, squealed, stomped, jumped, cried, fussed, fought, and hopefully made some good cousin memories.

 Jack and The Bit shared a room part of the week.  Then we had an issue: Jack didn't like light and John Brantley wanted a night light.  So, out went Jack and in came Ford!

 Sister didn't get to go to the beach too often.  The heat and sun are just too much for a little one.  She did nap under her tent one day though!

 They did LOTS of digging

And the beach can be exhausting!

I'm sorry, but this picture is 100% necessary.  My dad is a Type A worrier and I inherited it honestly.  We're 12 hours into the vacation and he's already nursing a fever blister due to bad nerves!

 Annie did a lot of sleeping... y'all like that mosquito bite on her forehead?!?!?

 Aunt Ashley lead Sunday school for the kids.... Ford was praying.

 The hat last 3.2 seconds.  Head gear and Annie don't mesh!

 Poor Boom.... Bitty made him blow up everyone's floats.  He kept asking if Boom had more air!!!

 Uncle Ken and Annie

 Mustache anyone?

 Jack

 The ice cream truck came buy selling treats that cost as much as a steak dinner!

 The parental units did a lot of playing on the cell phones.

 As did Fancy

 A little night swimming

 Aunt Ashley checking her pictures...

 Molly Cate entertained Annie while we ate at Camille's.

 This is how Fancy feels about pictures with his bride of 10 years!!!!

It brings joy to my heart that my children have cousins around their age to grow up with.  I didn't have this luxury, and I love watching them make memories!
