Spring Break-Part 2 The Beach

So we got away for a couple of days to Panama City Beach, my second home. I love everything about the beach. The water, the sand, Thomas Doughnuts, Miracle Strip, Pier Park and the memories of going frequently as a child. I'm so glad that Anderson is able to experience it that way too. It makes me sad that we are far away from it and can't get down there as much as we would like.


We went to Gulf World which was pretty neat, A loved it. But, it was a bit expensive. He got to be the dolphin trainer for the day and he was so tickled about that!


Our first stop was Thomas Doughnuts where we had lunch and uh...two doughnuts a piece.

 It was pretty chilly so, it was jackets for us on the beach. Anderson, of course, loves the water and fell in and kept trying to get back in...it was freezing!

  "It's Sooooo cold, Mama"!!!

We went to Miracle Strip at Pier Park and had a wonderful time, we love the Ferris Wheel...you can see all the way to the ocean from the top. Wished I had my camera.

 My daddy took my picture in this exact same spot when I was four.

 Making the dolphin dance...haha!!

 I always think these are so funny.

Spring Break- Part I

Hello friends, we headed back home to Alabama last week for Spring Break. It was so nice to be back, and everything was just beginning to bloom. Just beautiful. I love Spring.

Adam's brother, Anthony and his wife Kelly and their son Aaden came over to Gami's house to eat and for the cousin's to hang out. This is one of the things that I hate most about living in Texas is not having cousins around for Anderson to bond with. I loved my cousins so much growing up, they were my first friends.

 Playing in the camper

 Fishing in the Gami and Pappy's pond. Haha...they caught a bunch of leaves.

 Sydney, Anderson's other cousin came over to Nunna's (my mom)and they played for hours. They love playing with each other too.

See you soon with more pictures of our trip.

Playtime

Hello friends,

We are getting packed up to go to Alabama soon. We will also spend a couple of days at the beach. Anderson is so excited about going back to the beach. It makes my heart happy to see him love all the things that I loved as a child. He loves going to Papa Ivey's old beach cottage (as he calls it), the Jetties, Alvin's Island(which is pretty pitiful now) and of course Thomas Doughnuts. I think we would stand in that long line all day for those yummy treats.

I took Bekah, Charlie and Anderson to the mall yesterday. What's a trip to the mall without a stop by the cookie store?

They played on the playground and burned off some energy inside, because it was cold outside.

And of course, we stopped by Barnes and Nobles to read. Yes, we use it as our own personal library.

I have used starfall.com with Anderson since he was about 14 months old and he still loves it. He can do the computer all by himself now and would sit here all day long if I would let him.

 
He's getting too big!

Lately

Hello friends,

It looks like the zoo is all we ever do. But, Anderson loves it and we have annual passes so it's free and fun. We took Anderson and his friend Bekah again to the Dallas Zoo.They have a really neat nature trading center that you can bring things in that you find in nature and trade them. Anderson has already found some shells that we got from Panama City Beach last summer that he is going to take.

 Fish faces!!

 Puzzles in the nature center

 Ewww...yuck...I can't stand snakes. But A loves them.

We are headed to Dothan soon. I'm excited to see our family. We will be at the beach for a couple of days too...yay!! So excited for Thomas Doughnuts and Miracle Strip!
