Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Last week there was a tropical storm that rolled through. It really just caused a little bit of rain here – rain and some really big waves! We went to the beach one afternoon not really knowing what to expect and the kids were pumped to see waves way bigger than we usually get here! They had the best time getting knocked over and beat up by these waves!!
Such a fun day at the beach!
At some point Maxwell had found something online about how to make Baby Yoda cookies using an angel cookie cutter.
Of course GJ delivered and got them all set up to make Baby Yoda cookies. I must say, they turned out WAY better than I was expecting!
Baby Yoda! Baby Yoda! Floating in a pod, Baby Yoda!
Like cookies Yoda does!
Naples is always fun – even more so when GJ has surprises! Samantha was pretty thrilled with her new purple bed…
this huge LOL house (which took me a solid 1.5 hours to put together)….
and this cool slot car set for the boys…
which broke one day later so we got another even cooler set!
The best surprise? This awesome water slide for the pool! So fun!
We love Naples!
After 12 weeks quarantined at home, we decided we had to make some changes for the summer. We had no sports games to stay in town for, no social events we were going to be missing, no camps to go to – might as well go to Naples! We’ll probably never have this much free time again to just go hang in Naples and I knew it was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. This is also my first summer without a job and I can’t think of a better way to spend it! Unfortunately Robert does have to work so he has to stay in Birmingham. But having the whole house to himself for a few weeks doesn’t seem like that much of a punishment!
We headed down the day after Memorial Day…
and were pretty happy to be out of Birmingham…
and even happier to finally see this lady and give her a big hug!
We love Naples – even more so during a quarantine!
We spent the weekend laying on the beach in perfect temps just as happy as could be! The kids dug giant holes, swam in the gulf, and just loved not being at home!
We saw several big sting rays!
We even all made it out to the sand bar a few times!
We tried to get into the pool but it was too cold.
Samantha got buried…
and then got mad when she realized she couldn’t bust out!
A perfect weekend with my favorite crew!
We love the beach!
