Beach

 Not much to say about these except for the fact that it was a BEAUTIFUL day!  I am so glad I was able to take my girls to the beach.  I love it, and they both loved it.

Ft. Walton Beach Family

On Friday the 23rd, we went down to Ft. Walton to visit with Dad's family.  We went to Uncle Billy and Aunt Susan's house and it was so nice to sit and visit.  Aunt Cindy, Aunt Trisha, and my cousin Katie and her family all stopped by to see us.  

This is the only picture I got.  My girls with Katie's girls Ashleigh and Emma, who are 12ish (?) and 9.  They were such sweet girls and I enjoyed seeing them very much.

Just kidding...I had to edit this because I found one more picture. This is me with my cousin Katie.  Why oh why didn't I take more pictures that day?

Day 1 -- Landmark Park with Hayden, Piper, and Aunt Cathy

 Tuesday morning, Hayden and Piper (who shall now be called Pippy :) came over and I did all the girls hair.  They were instant friends and really enjoyed having pictures taken of their matching curls.

 Then we headed off to Landmark.  The girls played all morning.  The weather was beautiful and we had a nice picnic lunch.  We would've enjoyed it more if the bees would have left us alone.

 The girls loved the zip-line.  It was definitely the favorite attraction at the park.  Sunny was hesitant at first, but after watching Hayden do it a few times, she hopped right on.

Plane Ride and Uncle B.J.

 Okay, so just as I started uploading pictures from the trip, I get an error message and I find out I've reached my quota of picture storage.  So, now that I have sorted that out, here is the girls first plane ride and all the pictures I took with Uncle B.J.

 The girls were excited and a little bit scared...especially Sunny.

 Luckily, the fear was quickly replaced with delight and we had a great flight.

 Sunny carried her own roller bag the whole way, which was awesome.

 Our first night at Mok and Pok's house, B.J. and I pulled out all the old games we used to play when we were kids. The girls had so much fun playing them.

 On Tuesday we went to Landmark Park with Hayden and Piper.  It was EXACTLY like I remembered it.  We always used to go there when I was a kid and I was so excited to show my girls something from my childhood.  

 B.J. and Mitter Dick on Thanksgiving day at Aunt Cathy's house.

And Finally, B.J. on his way out the door headed home to Pensacola.  We were so happy that he was able to get couple days off of work to spend with us.  As you know, we love our B.J.

Our Visit with Mary, Von, and Vonda

 Mom and I took the girls and make a quick trip home to Alabama/Florida for Thanksgiving.  I have tons of pictures and tons of blogging to do.  Hope I can get it all done!  On the Friday after Thanksgiving, we were driving through Crestview on our way to Ft. Walton and the beach and we stopped by for a surprise visit at Mary Jones house.  Luckily she and Von were home and Vonda also stopped by.  I haven't seen her since our girls were under a year old.

The top picture is Lila and Cayson in his tree stand.  They are both 4 and he was such a doll.  She climbed right up and he had her sit next to him and he held onto her so she didn't fall.
