Beach Weekend

One last trip before tonsils out, school starts and the new baby gets here!!

This weekend, we went to the beach with Greg, Kelli, Brody and Levi. 

It was a fun packed weekend! We did everything we set out to do!

"Take our picture with this clown guy!"

I'm kinda proud that they don' know who Ronald McDonald is...

(We only go to McDonald's when we're on the way to the beach.)

After a 6 hour drive to the beach, stopping every 10 minutes for Cora to potty, we finally made it around 10:30. So we slept until about 9:30 Friday morning! We're glad to have Daddy on this whole trip with us!!

Beautiful day at the beach! 

Only 2 more months of being a family of 5!😬

Sea N Suds on July 4th weekend... Weird, but good for us! 

Anders' obligatory dolphin picture! 

Our lunch entertainment! 

Cora loves their coleslaw and crab claws! 

Buddies

The horses wouldn't work, wasted that 50 cents... 

 Jaden pushed Cora around. Sweet Bro Bro! 

Bumper Boats! 

The Wooden Track

The Arcade

Momma got a little playing time in too! 

Brad said I couldn't take the basketball home with me (under my shirt)... ha ha ha! 

Anders hit the jackpot!! 500 tickets!! 

All they wanted were Sully teeth! Thankfully we can save the rest of the tickets! 

Beautiful sunset over the bay.

Our courageous men, bringing home supper for our families! 

A little Christmas in July! 

Cora got caught sitting on the table! 

A new sport! Mole Crab Hunting! You watch the waves come up the sand and when it washes back down, you look for movement in the sand, and start digging! 

Jaden and Anders wouldn't touch them, but Brody and Levi were all about it! 

Beautiful day for playing in the sand! 

I realized I haven't taken ANY weekly baby bump pictures with this baby... I guess 32 weeks isn't too late to start! Sorry baby!

Fun in the sun! 

Jaden's first time to ride the boogie board! He loved it and did great! 

One of my favorite pictures.

Back to the pool before lunch. 

Tunahauna Bob's lovin! 

The Talking Tom Cat can capture their attention! 

Ice cream before supper!! 

With the crowds coming in fast, we decided to plan our evening backwards. 

The whole gang! 

Swimming until 7:00.

If you can't be nice, you'll sit out and hold hands for five minutes. 

My plan worked. They were laughing and being nice before the time was up! 

Cora loved the ocean!! 

Sandcastle time! 

While Brad was working hard, the kids did their own work... 

The final product! 

The Kitchens/Crow town

Night swimming until about 9:00. Then supper and finishing Home Alone! 

Time to go home. We always hate leaving, but can't wait to be home! 

Oyster House in Mobile for lunch

After unloading the car, carwash and cleaning it out throughly, it's off to Taco Casa!!

June

Summer days... 

It's the best when they voluntarily sit next to each other and are sweet siblings.

Sassy girl

First time for Cora to get off the steps! Now she's a little fishy in the pool.

Jaden's team party! 

Polly Cat loves to taunt Crimmer! 

VBS day 1!

Fun at MeMaw's after VBS everyday! 

My first time to make hamburger steak. I don't love it, so I've never made it. It was really good tonight though! 

We made smoothies for dessert! 

9 years together! We went to Ross Bridge for our anniversary. 

We made it back just in time to see the boys sing their VBS songs!

Sunday afternoon, the kids and I left for the beach for a week, with the Randolphs. (Brad joined us on Thursday.) 

We got home, unloaded and went to Memaw and Ddaddy's to celebrate Father's Day. 

Swimming lessons started Monday! 

Mrs. Nancy said Jaden and Brody did so good that they only have to take for one week instead of two! 

Cora's first haircut! 

Great supper with these wonderful ladies! 

Father's Day supper with my dad. 

Cora got tubes today. We tried not to get them, but we think it's the best way to go now. 

Maybe they'll help her from getting sick so often. 

She did great before, during and after the procedure! She's a trooper! 

Thanks to Boop Boop for babysitting so we could have a date night! 

A Crow pile up! 

So glad these cousins got to play for a little while before we all go our separate ways for the rest of summer! 

Family fun night to see Finding Dory! Such a cute movie. 

Mrs. Nancy has been great, yet again. Looking forward to Anders and Cora taking lessons next year! She brought them popsicles today! 

Outside fun. The temperature was finally tolerable outside without having to be in the water, so we made the most of it! 

Brad loves Polly Cat! Although he can't touch her, he takes good care of her. ❤ 

We had leftover tuna for supper, so she got a treat! 

Sunday night, we went to the Fayette water park with our church. It was so much fun! 

Monday after swimming lessons, we got to keep Baby Joe for a couple of hours. 

I wasn't needed too much! ;)

Jaden got to spend two days with Nana and Papa Joe! They had a blast! 

On day two, Anders, Cora and I made it to the farm in time for lunch. I love it here. 

Lunch buddies! 

Wednesday, Parker got to spend the night with us! 

Cora tagged right along with the boys. 

Thursday, we ate waffles and headed off to swimming lessons! 

Then snow cones before taking Parker home and heading to the beach for the weekend!
