We flew south

July 17, 2019

Over the week of July 4th we flew south to Naples! It was hot here, it was hot there, didn’t bother us…too much! We just hopped in the pool every day to beat the heat! For the first time, we didn’t check a suitcase but took 3 carry-on size roller bags. Thankfully we had good helpers to roll them!

We didn’t waste anytime getting in the pool and the ocean as much as possible over the next few days!

Of course we made cookies in our favorite yellow bowl…

Splash Adventure

June 18, 2019

When Robert took this cute sleepy eyed pic on Father’s Day morning, he had no idea the fun that was in store for him!

Somehow I convinced him to make it a family fun day and go to the water park right outside of town, Alabama Splash Adventure. Yes, a water park. Burning hot sun, scorching concrete, blazing hot innertubes. Just what every father wants on Father’s Day!

This father is the best though and he put on a happy face and created the most fun day that the kids will never forget! We rode all the slides…well, Maxwell and Robert rode all of the slides. Samantha wasn’t tall enough for a lot of them and Spencer was about a half inch to short for the big one! But, Robert rode it…

and even I rode it!

Lightning fast fun!! Spencer would have ridden it if he could have just fluffed his hair up a little bit more!

There was plenty to keep everyone entertained though…

We had a lunch appropriate for a water park – chicken fingers, pizza, and hot dogs. Robert even introduced the kids to Mountain Dew…hey, when in Rome, right?!

It was a full day and I’m not sure what burned my eyes more – the people watching or the chlorine! ha! In all honesty, it was really fun. The kids loved it. Robert and I might have even enjoyed ourselves more than we’d like to admit. 🙂

By the late afternoon we were all worn out from the fun.

Robert, you get major points for this one!!!

We love you and your sense of (splash!) adventure!

Father’s Day

June 17, 2019

Yesterday we celebrated the very best dad in all the land by going…to a water park. Oh yes, he’s so nice that he spent his Father’s Day swimming in the wave pool, floating down the lazy river, and zooming down the slides with all of us. He is the best.

He keeps us in line, he keeps us laughing, and he keeps our house full of love! We love you Robert!!

Museum Ball

May 29, 2019

Back in early May Robert and I were invited by some friends to go to the Birmingham Museum’s annual ball and it was a fun night! Who doesn’t love an excuse to get dressed and hit the town?
