Museums with a side of salt water

The kids got rained out of playing in the yard so my mom packed them up (by herself/ brave soul) and took them to the science museum.  

watching the gators.

excavating.

And we started out day out here with a little cold with and a view.

bundled up, but I didn't stay that way for long.  

My Hubby having church on the beach, time with the Father.

The sun finally came out. 

We had the best pizza and then some time by the bay.

It's like riding a bike

I haven't ridden a bike in a decade and Drew convinced me it would be a great idea.  

Well he was right......it all comes back and I was so fun to see the area and be together getting exercise.  

And on the bayside we got some walking in and some gazing, talking, and hand holding time :)

Meanwhile the kids were getting ready for church with my parents and posing for sweet pictures.  

Sandestin

we drove in for 3 days away as a gift from my MIL.  I was loving every minute of having family close enough to watch our kids and want to watch them so we could have down time.  What a blessing they are to us. 

Out to eat at a little place.

At sunset.

On the fishing dock.

Goofy golf

When we left for the beach the kids had a little fun time of their own.  

Ali was a great teacher of putt putt.

I was scared for everyone for Luke to have that golf club swinging it around. 

1st braids

A little park time before the crowd.....and we met a friend there.  

Little miss finally has hair long enough to braid and I just loved putting her hair up.  

She just worn them so well.  

My SIL had a shirt all ready for me before my beach getaway with Drew. 

Kristos

We stopped by to see Gigi at work and then we headed to eat together.  

At a great Greek place...... 

Anna coloring her horsey (unicorn)

These were some happy kiddos to spend time with Pops and Gigi.  

Burning daylight to 1st grade

just another brush pile to burn in Mimi's yard.  

Noah has been begging to start school again and well we ordered his supplies and got started.  

Day one of 1st grade is all smiles.

And we had an audience to cheer him on in his studies.

Then for recess.  

while this one woke up from nap 

And Aunt Ali came over.

The play set is finally finished.

Sunday's at the Snowden house

It usually goes like this.  We swing and wait for lunch to be ready.  And is usually is shortly.

Then after our belly's are full of okra and squash and such we like to sun.  

My little copy cat. 

Giving Sissy love.

And we played a little croquet too.
