Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Happy Monday!
Maxwell had saved up some money and got to take a trip to the toy store several weeks back. He knew what he wanted – Laser X! It took me straight back to my brother in the mid 1980s and Laser Tag! This game is pretty much the exact same thing and just as fun…
I think Robert had fun reliving some Laser Tag glory days too!
See you tomorrow!
A special Sunday post for a very special Dad. Robert, we basically think it doesn’t get much better than you!
We love how you can fix anything…
How you keep our house running…
How you are the very best boy dad…
but also the very best girl dad.
We love how you make everything fun…
and are a really, really good sport! 🙂
We love how you teach us about the important things in life… 😉
and we just think you’re the very best there is.
Robert, you are our father.
And you’re the greatest in the whole galaxy!!!!
We love you!
A special post for a few special people! Wishing the very best day on Sunday to our Granddaddy in Alabama…
our Granddaddy in Arkansas…
our Daddo in Florida…
and our absolute favorite Dad at home!!!
With all of you we get plenty of wisdom and knowledge (sometime more than we need!), lots of laughter (with a few corny dad jokes thrown in!), and more love than we deserve. We love you all very much and are so thankful for all of you!! Happy Father’s Day!
Last weekend Robert and I got to travel to Nantucket for the wedding of my college friend. I had been to Nantucket once before over 10 years ago and didn’t remember much and Robert had never been. I think we both walked away feeling so grateful we got to see such a neat place! My friend Katie’s wedding was beautiful and everything was done to perfection all weekend long. I got to catch up with lots of my college besties and the weather was unseasonably gorgeous. It all added up to a spectacular weekend!
We arrived in Nantucket Thursday afternoon following a 5am flight schedule that took us to Atlanta to JFK to Nantucket. We got checked into The White Elephant hotel and then started exploring!
That night there was a dessert party for the wedding guests at Galley Beach where we finally got to see the bride to be!
Friday morning Robert and I grabbed coffee at Provisions and then strolled and shopped all over the cute town…
Robert then headed for lunch and a beer at Cisco Brewery with the guys while I headed out to Katie’s family’s house for a little brunch!
The wedding was that night and it was beautiful!
The reception followed at the Nantucket Yacht Club and all the details were done just right…loved all these old pictures hanging at the entrance- especially the ones showcasing our round college faces! ha!
Of course, everyone took advantage of the beautiful setting for some pretty incredible pictures!
All of the Vandy girls lined up on the dock for these awesome photos…can’t wait to see the ones taken by the real photog instead of these from my phone!
The party was fabulous and the band was hopping. I’ve yet to find a wedding dance floor I don’t like and let’s just say my feet were hurting the next day! It got even better when they passed out doughnuts and captain’s hats late night!
I was feeling pretty cute in that hat! 🙂
The fun didn’t stop there though! Saturday morning there was a brunch at the Sankaty Head Golf Club. It was another beautiful – and windy! – day!
That afternoon, Robert and I were adventurous and rented a scooter to explore some other parts of the island. It was honestly a lot of fun – and FREEZING cold!
We made it out to Madaket Beach and had a lobster roll at Millie’s but then, despite how cool Robert looked on the scooter, we turned those things back in! Brrr!
We then headed out to the Monomoy section of Nantucket to go the house of my friend Allison’s aunt and uncle. A few of the girls were staying there and I’m so glad they invited us to stop by because it was honestly one of the most beautiful homes I’ve seen – the views of the town were incredible!
I could have gotten used to that life!
That night we had a good dinner at LoLa 41 and then stayed up too late laughing with everyone at the hotel bar. Perfection. Sunday morning we grabbed coffee and a quick hug with the new Mrs. before heading out on our 3 flights home…
Our connections were tight but we made it with no real issues and we had three very happy kiddos waiting for us at home!
It was a truly wonderful trip and I’m so grateful we got to go and experience it all! Maybe we’ll go back someday…after all, we never did make it to the Whaling Museum! ha!
A HUGE thanks to Susan for keeping the babies safe and loved. A little report on their adventures tomorrow!
Happy Monday! We’ve all been getting to do fun stuff around here. Spencer got to go to a play date at his friend Christopher’s house with his buds Stephen and Wade!
The boys got to to go a Barons game with Robert. Unfortunately it was unseasonably cold and rainy so not the best conditions. Despite having to wear their heavy coats and wait out a little rain delay, they still had a great time. I think the unlimited rice krispie treats helped!
The best part was when they got home later that night and Maxwell couldn’t wait to tell me that Spencer got lost and they had to call for Dad over the loud speaker!!! Ummm…yea. Apparently Robert had sat the boys down next to his co-worker while he went to get them popcorn. Spencer decided to go wander off and find Robert but I guess a well meaning adult found him first, asked him if he was lost, and took him to a police officer! Robert was still getting popcorn, oblivious to all of this, and got back to his co-workers flipping out and hearing on the loud speaker “We’re sorry to interrupt the fun, but we have a missing parent! Will Spencer’s parents please come behind home plate!” hahaha! Robert went down there and Spencer was sitting up on a counter just chatting up about 3 police officers! That boy.
Finally, Robert and I got to have some fun and do to the annual Kentucky Derby party our friends throw.
Lots of fun stuff for everyone!
