The week of the 4th we had a little "stay-cation" as they say, while Tim took the rest of the week off. The thing about living here is that it is packed in the summer...and everyone is on vacation...so it makes me want to be on vacation! We went to Fort Walton Beach and walked out on the pier, which we haven't done yet. Minnie was trying on this lovely horse head at a gift shop.
This Heron seriously almost took my head off and flew right over me and landed directly in front of me. It scared the crap out of me.
This is the view from the pier. There was a ton of dolphins but I couldn't get a good picture of them.
Andy was sick off and on all week...it was killing me! So he isn't really into pictures. The girls on the other hand are hams.
Ivy at the restaurant. Andy always wants to eat here but I tell him it's too much money. So, he told me that he would earn lots of dollars and then we could all go eat at the crab restaurant. He also told me, "Mom, I LOVE money...". Everyday he asks me to earn a dollar to do extra chores.
Minnie on the pier...
Andy and Minnie were flexing their muscles.
Ivy's hair is looking just like Minnie's did, but about 3 shades darker.
I have a picture of Minnie just like this in San Diego at this age when we went with my family...the hair is exact.
We did fireworks a few days after the 4th. The kids LOVE going to the fireworks store and picking them out.
Then I had the smart idea of doing smores...while we sweat to death. They were real good though.
If you ask Ivy, "who wants a waffle?" she puts her arms up like this and yells, "ME." She is starting to talk a lot!
Saturday we were just playing and taking pictures. We put Minnie's hair up in my clip and it was so cute! It only lasted a few minutes of course.
Mom and Ivy
Ivy will bring me stuff to put in her hair and then wants everyone to tell her "Pretty".
