We're Baaaaack!!!!!

Oh the fun we had down at the gulf this past week. It went better than I even expected. A great time was had by everyone. If you don't want to read this really long post, the pictures are at the bottom.

We left on Friday at lunchtime (only had to stop once) and got there in time to eat dinner at Lambert's (the home of the Throwed Rolls). Walker had a great time there and even ate some frog legs. We got to the condo at 8:30ish and unpacked and got the boys to bed. Carter and I waited up til after midnight to greet the Caneer Family. We all stayed up talking until 1:30 and we just had to get to bed.

Saturday we started out slow, but got down to the beach eventually. The boys loved the beach and Walker ran all over the place in and out of the waves and jumping into giant sand holes. Truman had a handful of sand and after that he just left it alone and took in everything. After we got hungry, we went upstairs and fed the boys lunch. Vicki and I left and went to eat lunch out and go shopping at the outlets. It was nice to have an afternoon away. I got some great bargains....as did Vicki, and we headed back home later than we expected.

Saturday night was spent at a restaurant called the Crab Trap. This is a great restaurant because it has a playground for the kids to play on while you wait. I had some tasty crab and Carter got shrimp. Walker ate alot.

Sunday we headed down to the sand and played and this time it was the boy's turn to leave for lunch. They didn't go to the outlets afterward, but they did go back down to the sand by themselves to have some beer and be by themselves. Neither silly boy brought a cell phone down with them so I had to scream at them to get their attention so they could come upstairs and get ready to do late day pictures on the beach.

The pictures went pretty well and we headed upstairs to decide on dinner. We settled for hotdogs on the grill and turned in early for the night.

Monday we went to the "Little Zoo that Could". The pictures from that haven't been uploaded yet. Walker loved feeding the Llama and goats and seeing the bunny rabbits and the Tiger. Truman loved the goats and screamed at them when they would walk away from him. Charles and Will liked it, too. After the zoo we ate lunch at the Mellow Mushroom. It was yummy. Vicki and I took Walker and Charles to the outlets after lunch to finish up what we had started on Saturday and Carter and Matt took Will and Truman back to the condo to nap. After we finished shopping we all went to dinner at Fish Camp. I was really disappointed in the meal. after dinner everyone but Truman and me went crab hunting on the beach. They didn't see one crab.

Tuesday we went to Pensacola to the National Naval Aviation Museum. Walker, Charles and Will loved looking at all the airplanes and helicopters. The Caneers left the museum early and headed home for naps and we stayed a while longer and went to lunch and souvenir shopping with the boys. We split up for dinner that night as well and our family had a wonderful dinner at Wolfbay Lodge. We got home and started cleaning up and getting ready to pack up the next morning.

Wednesday we traveled home. It was a really long trip. I was so happy to get to sleep in my bed last night. Walker was so worn out from the week that he slept til after 9:30 today. I don't remember the last time that happened.

Enjoy the pictures.
