Day 2 of Vacation

Family Vacation

We took the kids to Gulf Shores, Alabama with the Fullers. We stayed four nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Morgan and Patrick took a while to warm up to the beach and the salt water. Morgan was terrified that a shark might bite her or that a jelly fish might sting her. She never wanted to go past ankle deep. Patrick tried it out several times and by the last day he was even chasing the waves in and out with the tides.

Friday, July 22nd -  5:30 am left town, arrived for lunch at the Hangout around 1:00, checked in, went to the grocery store, walked the beach, cooked dinner and went crabin with no luck. Nikki and I shopped surf in style for beach chairs and an umbrella.

Saturday, July 23rd – beach, pool, boys went golfing, cooked lunch, nap, back to beach and pool, cooked dinner, stayed up late playing music

Jungle Gym

July 14th, G.G. joined us at the jungle gym. She arrived prepared with her camera. I worked on some paperwork while G.G. ran around chasing after the kids. The crane game was broken so Morgan and Patrick spent way too many quarters on the games trying to win tickets. It was a blast. Patrick showed off his bo bo under his chin. While at home, he fell head first on the floor and caused the bruise.

Sleep Over

Megan, Nikki and Chris’ daughter, invited Morgan to spend the night. Joel and I decided she was old enough to try. She enjoyed her first sleep over at the age of almost seven. A couple weeks later she returned the invite and Megan spent the night with Morgan.

More Water Slide Fun

The Turner’s played one last time. The slide was picked up July 5th at 11 a.m.
