Yep, that’s what Alec and I were at his first grade field trip to Global Wildlife last Thursday! We’ve been before and it really is a fun place if it were not 33 degrees, windy and sprinkling! Not many pictures because it was too cold to take my gloves off! LOL! But we did get a couple of cute pictures!

Halloween- A few weeks late
So I guess I better get to discussing our awesome Halloween Party before Thanksgiving gets here! LOL!! This years party was the best yet!! We had so many family, friends and kids that we’ll definitely have to upsize the hayride before next years party! It’s a wonder no one got squished or fell off of it! Alec and Kaleigh each had lots of their friends come over for the party and we couldn’t have asked for a much fun group of folks!
Brooke, Alec, Kaleigh and Ava Reid playing before the hayride!Jenny and Brooke!
Harper doesn’t look like she’s enjoying this picture!
Getting ready for Trick or Treating around the neighborhood!
The Bracey’s opted for the Golf Cart and it broke down halfway around the loop!! LOL!
Kaleigh was the most PERFECT Elsa!!
Elsa and Anna got to wear their costume’s to dance Halloween Week!Having fun at work! We surprised the Bosses with “Witch” Shirts!

Laurel Fair Fun 2014
FINALLY a year at the fair with NO sister tantrums! She’s FINALLY big enough to ride some rides!! Hallelujah! We’ve been waiting on this day for the past TWO fairs! And she barely made the 36” requirement at 3.5 years old at 36.5”! Whew!! She would have been an unhappy camper if she was turned down for the rides for another year! She’s certainly a little dare devil and wasn’t the least bit scared of anything!
Daredevil LOVE the rides!! Brother claimed a front row seat on this one so he didn’t make the family pic! lol!
She even LOVED the “Funny House” and I bet we went through it five times! It had a slide that she thought was super fun!!
No time to stop for a pic on the balcony of the “funny house” with Nana and Aunt!
Alec liked running through the spinning wheel at the end of the funny house!
Alec on a “real” ride with Nana! He came off screaming THAT WAS AWESOME!
Alec and Nana are on that crazy thing somewhere!
Even though he like the Thrill Rides, he loved taking time to help sister on her rides too! Best big brother ever!
On the roller coaster with Aunt, this one really did give us a thrill! It was pretty fun!
Sassy even ran into her friend Chandler from school!
Of course, we did PLENTY of eating too! I can’t believe I didn’t get a food picture of Dustin, he tried everything. Sister ate nearly this whole plate of chili cheese fries by herself!
Riding horses, was what they most looked forward too! They Love the animals!
He says he’s riding his own horse when we go to the mountains next month!
Carrots for the goats! We love doing this too!
Alec was a little leery of the camel!
Not this one, she like all the animals!
Fair trips are never complete without the messy cotton candy! And I’m not sure how we made it outta there without a funnel cake!!
We even ran into sweet Riley at the fair!
So that’s it for this year’s fair, although, sister told me just this morning she’s ready to go back to the fair already! Me too!

Gulf Shores Family Trip 2014
Well we’ve been back a little over a month, but I’m just not getting around to posting pictures of our family beach trip from September.
Dustin, the kids and I went down a day early and did the Gulf Shores Zoo again, it’s our FAVORITE!! We love to pet the monkeys every year!
Alec got peed on as we were leaving! lol!! NASTY!!
Dad was sure this thing wouldn’t bite and LOVED getting it’s neck rubbed! I was just waiting for someone’s fingers to get snapped off!
Great Grands always make the trip even more special!!
One loved the kayak in the hot tub/pool and the other didn’t!! From the looks of the picture, it’s hard to tell which is screaming uncontrollably and which is laughing just as hard!
Getting in a little football practice on the beach!
Alec and Kaleigh always love to help Papa with the kite!
Growing up faster than this momma likes!! But this trip sure does get more fun every year with the three of them!
Special beach time with their Great Grandmother!
So we may have borrowed the pool at the house next door! It was on the deck and ours was stuck under the house!! lol!!
Helping Grandmother get back from the beach! She LOVES to spend a morning out in the sand!
We pack baby powder by the case for the beach! Who knew, it really does work wonders for getting the sand off these little beach booties!!
