Tea for Two at Mimi's House!

First tea party and a pony tail!!

Brother is so sweet to serve sister!

Brother, NO you can't drink from the pitcher!!

A first for ALEC!

Two weekends ago, Alec got to go to New Orleans for the Saints first home game of the Season with Mimi and Papa!  He was very excited and had his jersey as soon as he got up Friday morning!  I must say, I was a tad jealous, Dustin and I haven't ever even been to a Saints game before!!

Waiting in line for the metal detector!

Alec said it was LOUD!

Alec picked the aquariam, over the imax for Saturday morning fun!

Funnies from Mimi from their New Orleans weekend:

On the parking ramp: “We bout to flip this thing over?”

Arguing about traffic: “PAPA, don’t be mean!”

Mimi tells Alec, here are the food choices at the Dome – Pizza, hamburger, hotdog, chicken strips. “I don’t like any of those.” Hmmmmm. Mimi goes to buy Papa a hotdog & Alec some waffle fries & a Sprite. Mimi could use a glass of wine now.  Mimi tells Papa, they had jambalaya & gumbo, too. “I LIKE GUMBO” Papa says, well I guess I’m going to buy gumbo….then, “Papa, you shouldn’t got shrimp in this gumbo!” Mimi enjoyed getting all the shrimp out!

Same Story, Different Post

Ok, I'm feeling like ALL my post are water related these days!  But, it's so DARN hot, the ocean, the pool, the slipnslide, the lake, the beach, the bayou or the waterpark are just about the only activities we're interested in! ha!  Not that I'm rushing cooler weather at ALL, we LOVE the summer fun!!

Kaleigh Marie LOVED the water slides!  We couldn't get her crazy self off of them!

Alec was FINALLY big enough to ride the big slides!!  I can't believe he did this one, I would have NEVER done this as a 4 year old!!

He was unhappy that DAD always won the race, and even demanded they switch lanes and he get a head start! Dad still won...  Apparently, Alec needs to put on a few more pounds before he can beat Dad!

Going down the big slide in the tub with mom!

Alec, Adam, Kara and Mandi, being lazy in the river!

Kaleigh wasn't crazy about the lazy river, she preferred more action!

Alec racing Kara!  These new slides were really fun!



Crab Island Slides

Dustin, Alec and I just got back from a long weekend in Destin.  Alec's favorite part, The Slides at Crab Island!!  We stayed at the Fort Benning Army Recreation Center and it was AWESOME! It had a pool, splash pad, a long pier for fishing and a place for us to put the jet skiis in the water!  We loved having our on jet skiis in Destin and not having to pay a small fortune to rent by the hour!  We rode them all around the harbor, to crab island and even out in to the ocean!  We did lots of swimming, playing and eating!

The beautiful white sand at Destin!

Alec on the jet skiis when we first anchored at crab island.  At first, he wasn't sure that he wanted to get off the jet skis, but finally he did and loved it!  The water was a little too deep and the current too strong for him to walk around by himself, but he still had fun! 

Eating lunch on a bardge at Crab Island!  It was so cool to eat lunch in the middle of the harbor!

There was even a slide on a bardge for the kids to paly on (for a small fee of $10! ha!)

This is how Alec got around at Crab Island!

Who knew you could get wonderful pork sandwiches from a boat restaurant!

Alec LOVED the beach and ocean too!  At least as long as he had his goggles on! :)

He was FULL of energy the entire time!!

Even though our hotel didn't have a beach, they did have a HUGE sandbox to play in!

Enjoying the spashpad at the hotel!

Checking out the crabs in the boat launch!  I must say, it was semi heartbreaking to hear the "crunch, crunch, crunch" of the crabs everytime we backed the trailer in the boat launch!!  The little guys certainly didn't know how to get out of the way and there were hundreds of them!

A blow fish that was caught in a crab trab!! So cool!!!

Sunset at the Harborwalk, while we were waiting on the fireworks!  Afterwards, we had a "little discussion" about how you should smile for the camera, even though you don't know the person taking your picture!

Oh my, will he ever go to sleep!  This was on the way to the pool about 8:30pm!

Fun at the Crab Trab while waiting on a table!

I'm sure you can imagine that this ended VERY sandy and wet, doesn't everyone like a little sand with their dinner?!?

Someone even got a tatoo at the Crab Trap waiting on supper!

A little smile for the camera!

Moving on up!

My babies moved up at school this morning.  Kaleigh is now in the one year old room, she now eats at a table and naps on a nap mat!! And Alec started his first day of 4 year old classes!  I can't believe that his next move will be to Kindergarden!  Alec did GREAT this morning and wasn't in the least bit phased by his move to the next room down, Kaleigh on the other hand, was a little attached to her old teachers and didn't like the change.  Thankfully, her new teacher, Miss. Nikki, has sent me lots of pictures from today and I think Kaleigh is liking her new class already!

Chairs instead of a stroller at chapel now!

Nap Mats instead of Cribs for Nap Time!

Nana made this really cute nap mat for Kaleigh and we LOVE it!!!

Eating at a big table instead of a highchair for lunch!

And sweet Alec with Hannah before school today too!
