We recently came home from summer vacation, which was fantastic! The first week we spent in Gulf Shores with Ronnie's side of the family. It was great - the girls had a great time with their grandparents, Aunt and Uncle, and getting spoiled by all the attention! The four of us shared a room, which proved to be interesting sleeping patterns for us all. The first night, Ella was laying in bed with Ronnie and I and out of the blue said, "This is like the worst night ever. Let's go home!" We all started rolling. We adjusted, though, and by the end of the week, everyone managed to sleep through the night!
Then we left there, and traveled to Panama City Beach, FL. Ronnie and I consider this the perfect vacation location. To many, it is known as the "Redneck Riveria". However, we love it!We have decided it is because of the familiarity after spending so many vacations there. I practically spent every vacation at Dunes of Panama, D building, since before I was Kinsley's age. Apparently, it is good enough for the President, too! When we got there, we realized the Obama's were in town. So, of course, we had to set out to find them! We found them at Baypoint, where we saw lots of secret service, police officers, yellow tape blocking off their pool, and no first family. Ella said, "Who are these Bama's? (spoken like one would refer to the slang for Alabama). She was ready to head to the capital of PCB - Walmart! Don't worry though, we did manage to catch a glimpse as they were leaving town. We tried to make this week as low key as possible and we were pretty successful! We ate at the condo, enjoyed the beach, and just relaxed. My sweet girls probably wished I had taken a break from the camera, too, but that would just be asking too much!
Ella enjoyed putt putt (Kinsley - not so much. By the 10th hole, she had thrown her putter three times, and thrown her ball too many times to count! I believe she was over it before we even started.) The girls loved playing games, earning tickets to win prizes (A.k.a. mom and dad paying too much money for trinket junk), and playing at the pool. To be honest, there aren't a lot of major details to share about the week because it was just that laid back . . . exactly how we wanted it!
