Wordless Wednesday...In My Not So Wordless World

Happiness is......

Flying!

I'm On A BOAT!!!

We finally got around to taking Madie on her first boat ride. It's hard to make time to just go for a "ride" when hubby loves to fish as much as her does, but we cleared his fishing calendar and spent the day on the boat. It was SO much fun! I think we may have created a boating monster. We've been 2 times in the past week and we stayed on the water ALL day. I know her daddy is so proud. Thanks to Nana and Paw-paw for joining us and sharing the day.

Look at that sweet face!

Having fun!

Vacation Baby!

For the past several years we have taken our family vacation during mine and hubby’s anniversary week. We usually go to Gulf Shores and stay at a great condo with a zero entry pool ( a MUST have with a small child—it is wonderful because you don’t have to be with them every second they are in the water…only every other second). This year I guess I waited too late to book our reservations because everything at our favorite place to stay was booked. Luckily, we have some very close friends with a condo in Panama City Beach, FL and they were nice enough to help us get a reservation at the property where they condo and it had everything we could have wished for and more.

The pool was awesome!

The view was spectacular!

The night before we left for the beach I got a stomach virus and was up ALL night. I couldn't tell you the last time I had been sick and the night before we leave….well let’s just say I lost 8 lbs. in about 6 hours. I tried to sleep the whole way down to the beach in hopes that when I woke up I would feel better. If anyone is wondering it takes approximately 1 showing of the Sound of Music, a 1 ½ hour nap and about 30 minutes to get to Panama City. ..just in case you were wondering. Madie ended up with the stomach virus Sunday night and Monday. She was such a trooper. She was a much better patient than her mommy was.

While we were at the beach we celebrated Father’s Day~Thanks hubby for being the wonderful father you are. And we also celebrated 9 years of wedded bliss~Thank you hubby for 9 wonderful years…I’m looking forward to 100 more!

Happy Father's Day!

Last year when we were at the beach Madie hated the sand. She didn’t want to touch it, stand in it or be anywhere around it. This year she loved it. I had so much fun watching her and hubby play in the sand. I am not a big fan of the sand….I like walking in it and standing next to the shore, but I don’t want to sit in it, get it under my finger nails or get it in places that sand should not be. It was great to watch Madie have so much fun.

Fun in the sun!

Building a sand castle with daddy.

We had a great time at the Treasure Ship.

Madie taking a break from swimming and enjoying a sucker.

Funny things that happened on vacation:

Madie thought the plane that flew by with the banners attached said, “Madie is at the beach!”

While out eating our waiter asked Madie if she was on vacation. She replied, “PCB Baby!” Thanks for that one hubby!

Do you know how fast Madie can knock down a sand castle? As fast as hubby can build them…Smile!

At the Treasure Ship restaurant a pirate told Madie he was going to make her a pink balloon poodle...Madie saud, "I don't need a pink one, but I'll take a blue one." My baby knows what she wants.

At the souvenir store Madie pickes a stuffed chinchilla as her souvenir prize...what?!? Really !?! And...it was $9. She hasn't played with it since we've been home.

Madie telling her daddy that she needs a smoothie with cherrie in it to make her feel cooler. They were very refreshing~

What a great week! None of us wanted to come home. We are so blessed to have each other and create such special memories. I can't wait until next year!
