First Day of First Grade and K-3

Well, we actually missed the real first days, we were still on vacation! Ha! So last Thursday was our first day of each!  What a day coming back from vacation and starting school the next day!  Whew!  Thankfully it was a short week!

Alec and Mrs. Fagan, We LOVE her!

K bug ready for her first day in Mrs. Bethany’s class. Alec had Mrs. Bethany when he was three also and she’s great!

This kid was really too busy for pictures!

Gracie got to come over and ride the bus with Alec the 2nd day of school, that’s always fun!  Notice, Kaleigh HAD to push her baby and blanket to the road to wait for the bus!

Beach Vacation!!

We LOVE the beach and planned an end of summer vacation to Destin right before school.  We went with the Parker’s and stayed at the Destin Area Rec Area, our FAVORITE place to stay in Destin!

We went down a night early and stayed at Whiting Field in Milton.  This poor little bunny was enjoying a nice peaceful breakfast right outside our door until these two spotted him!  He wasn’t afraid and they chased him around for an hour!  Poor bunny!

This WONDERFUL splash pad is at the resort and the kids couldn’t wait to get there and play!

Finally Kara got there too!  These kids LOVE each other!

Catching Hermit Crabs in the boat launch!  The resort is always full of critters for the kids to catch!

Kara’s first catch!

Look at this blonde hair!!  Oh I hope she stays a blonde!

So, the ice cream truck does daily rounds through the resort.  Well, I didn’t remember it costing a fortune but these lovely treats cost NINE BUCKS!  Oh my!!  But, a smart mommy found out the marina at the resort has ice cream for a QUARTER!  Yep, our ice cream truck days were over after day 1 and we bought all the ice cream they could eat for a quarter!!  YAY!

After enjoying his $3 ice cream!

Daddies and the kids headed to eat!

Tattoos at Crap Trap are always a must!  This was sister’s first!

Thankfully we didn’t have to wait to eat and the usual playing on the beach was after we ate at Crap Trap instead of before, like it normally is.

Yes, in our dinner clothes playing in the ocean! Oh my!  Thankfully we were headed back to the hotel after all this fun!

The next night we opted for Baytowne fun for dinner!  This was our fist time to visit and there were so many fun things to do and places to eat!

Everyone had fun!

After the Baytown fun we headed for the Track!  Sister was super excited to be bearly tall enough to ride!

Our last day we spent at the Coast Guard beach area!  It was so nice with picnic areas and showers!  Dustin, Adam and Mandi also got to see a sea turtle swim by while they were playing in the water!

Trying to fit in a little rest while the daddies were gone fishing!

Alec didn’t think momma could do the monkey bars! I proved him wrong!! 

Such a fun beach vacation!  We can’t wait to go back!!

Underwater Pics

I had forgotten about my underwater camera and broke it out a few weeks ago for some fun pics!  Don’t expect anymore as Kaleigh dropped it in the bayou last weekend.  After much digging around in NASTY mud at the bottom of the bayou, it was not recovered! ha! 

Daddy’s Princess!

The fish can swim for REAL now!!

Underwater selfies are HARD to get!

I love this one! She looks like an Olympic swimmer! ha!
