Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
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!
Last weekend we decided we really needed a change of quarantine scenery! A change of quaranscene if you will! We were thankfully able to use Robert’s family’s condo in Orange Beach just as the Alabama beaches were opening back up. We made the drive with no bathroom stops to eliminate any germs and immediately went down to feel the sand on our feet!
It wasn’t too long before they wanted to also feel the water on their feet…
Then two of them just couldn’t resist and had to go all the way in!
They could not have been happier!!
And this one was happy to stay on dry land!
We were all so happy to be on the beach and out of the house!
See you tomorrow!
The boys spent another pretty morning on the golf course Saturday!
Spencer has his own clubs now and the boys are having fun – and apparently getting quite competitive. No surprise there!
Spencer has new clubs but know what he doesn’t have? His other front tooth! Yep, that other snaggly one got pulled Friday night!
Love it!
Robert was looking pretty shaggy and decided it was time for a haircut. Since he’s the best dad ever, he decided to let the kids give him a trim!
They all got some good laughs in and took turns with the clippers.
Unfortunately, clippers aren’t quite as foolproof as you’d think. Oops!!
He looked liked this when the kids were done…
then like this after he trimmed on it some more…
and then finally like this the next morning after I trimmed on it even more.
Definitely not the best haircut he’s had but, hey, you get what you pay for!! 🙂
As I mentioned before, the boys worked so hard on their pinewood derby cars and I’m so sad the derby got cancelled…or hopefully just postponed for who knows when! These awesome cars deserve to be raced!!
The planning started months ago…
And then the cutting and painting and decorating began!
As with every project, there were a few snags in the process. The biggest was some wind that blew a garbage bag and messed up Maxwell’s carefully applied second coat of paint…
But, nothing a little muscle and sand paper can’t take care of!
Soon he was back in business and making it look as good as ever!
Meanwhile, Spencer’s progressed nicely…and I might have helped too much but I just can’t help myself. He was pleased!
They then got wheels on and weights added…
and these cars are ready to race!! Introducing, “Cavallino”…
and Bullet Bill!
Can’t wait to see these cars on the track!
