Carillon Beach 2012

We went to the beach this year with Kristen, Maci, Jaxon, and Jaxon's friend Logan. Allie and Shalynn came along too to help with the kids. We had such a fun time and already can't wait for next years vacation!

We left at 1:30 am Friday night in hopes that the girls would sleep through most of the trip! Our plan was a success!

 Check in to our house wasn't until 3:30 so we stopped at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola to pass some time

Kennedy wanted me to take her picture holding the earth



We stayed at a Bahama Mama in Carillon Beach which is right down from Rosemary



 

And the Banana Cabana (where the boys and Allie stayed)

Junk foods are NEVER limited on vacation!!

Eating ice cream wearing their matching 30A shirts! Cafe 30A was my favorite restaurant this trip! Red Bar, Loui Loui and Caliza were also really good!

Bike rides were a hit!

The kiddos took surfing lessons two mornings. They all did great and had so much fun! Kennedy and Camryn watch Barbie and a Mermaid Tale all the time and felt like Maria Summers!

While Kristen and the kids went to get tie dyed t-shirts, Todd and I took Laynie down to the beach for some pictures

 

I LOVE that these girls don't think they are too big for dress up! We were getting ready to go to the pool one day and I guess I was taking too long to get Laynie ready so they found a way to entertain themselves!

Laynie had sooo much fun on our beach bike rides. We just got Todd's bike all tuned up with a Laynie seat added! He took her on her first ride yesterday and it was terribly hot! They came home and her face was as red as a beet! You would have thought she was doing all the peddling! She went to the refrigerator and said, "I want some water Momma!" They will have lots of cooler bike rides coming up soon I hope!

Maci is spending the weekend with us! Here are a few pictures I have taken of them with my phone!


These girls are absolute nuts!!





They LOVE dressing alike!

1st Day of School, 2012

Today is the first day of 1st grade for Camryn and 3rd grade for Kennedy. I always get so sad on the first and last days of school! Camryn has Mrs. Humpries (who Kennedy had for 1st grade) and Kennedy has Mrs. Benson. She started the GT program this year and all the kids in her class are gifted and talented. We are really excited about this! I heard 3rd grade is tough so this summer she learned her multiplication tables and I introduced her to some cursive writing. I know she will do great!


Open house was last Tuesday night! I think we have really good teachers this year!

Mrs. Benson and Kennedy. I lover her smile! Mrs. Benson is Mrs. Mitchell's sister who filled in for Mrs. McNulty last year when she had her baby!

Our big 3rd grader!

Jack and Camryn. Jack starts kindergarten and is right across the hall from Camryn!



Our big 1st grader!
