Here Goes...

I really enjoy reading my family and friend's blogs so I thought maybe I should give it a try. I don't have much confidence in myself. I've never really even enjoyed writing, so don't expect anything spectacular. This should be interesting...here goes! I thought maybe I'd start off with our Fourth of July weekend. Since we've lived in Pensacola, we've spent every Fourth of July the same way and this Fourth was no different. It's become one of our very favorite times of year! Every year Carrie's (my sis-in-law) family, The Fair's, come to Pensacola Beach for their family vacation. We love the Fair's...they're wonderful! We love Anthony, Carrie, and Ansleigh even more, and with them living in CUBA, we hardly ever get to see them. So, of course, we LOVE when we can FINALLY spend time with them! We had such a fun, long weekend.

Thursday the 3rd:
Chad, Nana, Papa, and I took Turner and Anna Cate to swimming lessons. Which they love by the way! Then we headed to the Fair's condo to spend the day on the beach. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun. Anna Cate is perfectly content playing with her bucket in the sand and Turner has gotten so brave when it comes to the water...he loves swimming through the waves. After the kid's naps we showered and headed to Flounder's to eat...YUM, YUM!







Friday July 4th:
Another long day at the beach! Even Ansleigh spent the entire day out there with us! She was so cute sleeping in her swing. Turner enjoyed throwing the frisbee (or DISC if you're Anthony) with Anthony and again, Anna Cate was perfectly content playing in the sand with her bucket. By the end of the afternoon, Anna Cate was actually loving the water. After naps, swimming in the pool (Turner's favorite) and showers, we ate dinner and waited for the fireworks. While waiting Chad and I took some pictures of the kids on the beach. At first Anna Cate was very cooperative, then....well...not so much. We had the perfect view of the fireworks from the condo balcony...it was great! It was such a great day, spent with family, eating yummy food, and getting a tan :)!







Saturday July 5th:
After checking out of the condo, our favorite Friday's (Anthony, Carrie, and Ansleigh-Bug) came to spend the night with us! Basically we spent the day resting and , of course, playing the Wii. Nana cooked us a delicious dinner. After dinner Nana and Papa made the trip back to Troy, AND, our power went off. ( For 4 hours!) We had so much fun though. We always have fun with Anthony Carrie!!

Sunday July 6th:
Sad day...Anthony and Carrie had to head home. I wish their home wasn't so far away!!!!

We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend! Hope that you can say the same.
