Orange Beach, how we've missed you!

At the very beginning of the summer we went on Vacation with my parents to Orange Beach, AL. It was a wonderful getaway and we had a great time. We all 3 love the beach so very much (as does my Mom. My Dad, well, he's just a good sport about going anyway!). We always long for more beach vacation days when we come back home! Speaking of, it's about time for another trip if you ask me ;-)
Here's an overview of our trip. I hope I can remember everything since it's been so very long since we were there!

Again...slacker!

This little chick loves the beach! She's not a fan of going into the water very much, but she likes to be there more than any other place!

Having a little fun while waiting to eat at the Oyster House!

She had to get a henna tattoo again this year. With no prompting from anyone she picked The "Roll Tide A" !! Her Daddy wasn't real thrilled but it was cute :)

She was a BIG fan of the Superman Icecream...can ya tell?!

Playing in the giant sand pit while waiting to eat at one of our favorite places, LuLu's

Yes, she did roll all the way down a sand hill before we ate dinner! Only at the beach is that acceptable! This place is right up her alley...Barefoot? No problem!

Of course we couldn't pass up an opportunity to do all the fun stuff at The Track! Kiddie Rides, Go Karts, Bumper Boats, Arcade...yes please!

Two days before we came home, (right after my parents left) Little One sliced her toe REALLY bad & the beach/pool was pretty much done. We still had fun, but it always revolved around this giant toe bandage!

Despite the boo boo debacle, went to one of her new favorite beachside restaurants, The Hangout. Love the restaurants with entertainment for kids while you wait/eat!

Of course she had to try the trampoline bungee. I was worried after standing in a 45 minute line that she wouldn't like it & freak out or that the giant bandage would fly off and hit someone in the face while she was jumping and we would be kicked out and deemed white trash...yes, this IS how my mind works!

I was very wrong! She is a big fan!! (And the bandage just barely made it, yay!)

So, that was our vacation in a long nutshell with lots of pictures attached to it~3 months later!

It happened again...

You've come to expect it from me haven't you? My lazy blogging habits and taking weeks (or in this case months) off at a time. I'm sorry. I really do love you!

I won't begin to try and catch you up on all the events since my last blog post over 3 months ago. I'll just hit the highlights of what I missed.

We went on vacation & it was fabulous! I'll do a post about that in a minute, lots of pics to share from that week!

Little One graduated from Pre-K! She was precious in her little cap and gown up on stage. They had a performance and got a bible with their name on it. It was a very sweet ceremony!





We did the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure for Breast Cancer in Atlanta and it was a wonderful day! My brother in law organized a team again this year and we had a wonderful day!!!





We also spent lots of time this summer at the pool and outside.
We visited friends and family and made lots of good memories!








Hope you've had a wonderful summer as well!

Field Trip Fun

A few weeks ago the Little One's school had a field trip to a local farm. They have a huge playground, petting zoo where they were able to feed the animals and lots and lots of rows of fresh, beautiful strawberries! We had such a fun day with her class & came home with lots of sweet, juicy strawberries! Strawberry Picking was lots of fun! She loved being able to select her own :)

Feeding the animals was "so cool" She did not feed the bigger ones, however!

They also got some soft serve ice cream with their snack. This is one silly girl!

I am so thankful I could go with them, we had a great day!

Little One's class, well, the ones who could go on the Field Trip.
