Summer Wrap Up!

Sigh. We went back to school last week. Boo. Summer is my very favorite time of year and we made the most of it this year! We spent a ton of time at the beach, which is a happy place for our whole fam! I'm just going to post a ton of pics and narrate as I go! It's blood day for Mia, so I thought I'd catch up!

These two!

 Ice cream time!

 We ate at our fav food truck a ton! Reggae Flava for you local peeps!

 Josh and I got matching tattoos! Eeekks! Our anniversary date in roman numerals!

 We hosted a few blood drives!

 Paw Paw spent several months doing mission work in Alaska! He came home to spend some time with us and we surprised him at the airport! It was FUN!

 Fireworks at the Wharf because on the actual 4th of July we were too lazy to go watch on the beach! haha!

 Lunch date with my oldest boo!

 Another lunch date with my other boo! Yes, I eat Full Moon alot at lunch! Easy to stay on a diet, smoked chicken no bun or sauce!

 More beach time!

 We saw Aladdin at the beach! LOVED IT!

 Worked a little too! haha!

 I jumped again! :)

 Most beautiful view!

 Caught a beach sunset! This was my very favorite day of summer!

 Handstands on the beach!

 Heehee! Sister sammich!

 Ah. How else to wrap up summer than with a finder bender!

 Goodbye summer! We miss you already!

Memorial Day

I don't know about y'all but Hubs and I were LIMPING to the end of the school year. It was a hectic last couple of weeks and we were tired! As soon as school was out on the last day, it was a half day, we headed SOUTH! We had a fun weekend with my sister and her kids! Beach time is always the best time!

Spring Break 2k18!

Look at me being the cool mom with 2k18! HAHA! #imsofunny

We spent most of Spring Break at the beach! It was still cool outside so we found other things to do! As much as we travel there, we always find new things. We love to explore and find fun things as a family so we had the best time!

My sis and her fam were with us the first few days so we had lots of fun with them! We ate lots of yummy food because if you know us then that's our fav thing to do! And we spent some time playing at the arcade and riding go carts. Go cart competitions are fun when you have 11 competitive family members! :)

We also made our way to a town close by to find Dinosaurs one day! This was lots of fun! They are literally in the middle of nowhere, just off the road. There was an old dirt road off the main road so we just walked to find each one! It was a trek, but it was a beautiful day and felt so wonderful outside! Brooks is really into dinosaurs, like can blow you out of the water naming certain types, so he had the best time!

I didn't get pictures with all of them but there are four total!

We also took the ferry over to Dauphin Island one day. This was something we had been wanting to do for a while now! It's been put off because it's usually really busy...and because I get really car sick. I just KNEW being in the car on the boat would do me in! I had to focus on not letting myself feel sick! HA! I knew if I got out of the car I would be fine but it was WAY too cold on the way over to the island to do that. On the way back we did and it was fabulous!

On the island we went to the estuarium. Not sure why it's just not called an aquarium. It was FUN! We also went to the bird sanctuary there. It was basically a hike through the woods because #kidsareloud. haha! We let Brooks lead the way and walked a few miles. It was another beautiful day and we had the best time!

One of the boys walked ahead of the line leader...

That sums up our Spring Break! :) Look at me cranking these posts out!
