Hudson's Hair Cut.....Round 2

Hudson needed another haircut last weekend and we decided it was time to try it again. He doesn't have that much hair but it still seems to be growing at an uneven rate and was getting long in the back and around the ears. He was fine when we first walked into Groovy's Cuts for Kids.....Then he realized he was the one getting the haircut. We tried bribing him with a sucker to no avail. I ended up holding him and holding him down for the cut. Needless to say, we both had hair all over us! Reagan also got a trim that day. They have a great Barbie jeep to sit in that she absolutely loves. She is very much a girl and loves to have others take care of her hair!

Who's Tackling Who?

Normally, what happens at our house is that Hudson wants something from Reagan and will stop at no price until he gets it. This usually gets him in trouble as he has become an expert at pulling hair! He just loves to smile when he is doing it too! Occasionally, the opposite occurs and Reagan is going after Hudson for something. I was lucky enough to catch this one on camera!

We Loved the Beach!!

We completely enjoyed ourselves in Florida (if you can't tell), and we are blessed to have the Schramm family in our lives. We loved being able to enjoy the beach with them, and the kids had a great time without too many fusses. Family vacations are work, and it has taken me a little time to recover, but I am already planning the next family trip! Hopefully, these experiences will enable our kids to grow and learn more about life! Thanks again to the Schramm family! We love you guys!

Bounce House Fun

Not only did we get to enjoy the amusement park on a hot, sticky day, we also had the fun of enjoying a great section of bounce houses around Pier Park. We had all day access so we were able to play for a while in the morning and then return later that day. I think Reagan could go up and down the slide a million times and never get tired! Hudson, on the other hand, liked the slide too, but was a bit more cautious. He is a bit of a daredevil though so we have to keep an eye on him! He thinks he can do anything Reagan can!

Gulf World Marine Park

We had another day during the week that double red flags flew out by the beach meaning that swimming was not safe that day. It was due to an outgoing tide, rip currents and wind strength. Luckily, we found an amazing place to spend the day. Panama City Beach has a great marine park that houses a multitude of birds, aquatic animals, and reptiles. They have several shows daily including a dolphin show and a sea lion show. The girls absolutely loved it! Reagan loved the dolphins and wanted to get to know them a little more better. She and John were able to touch, feed, and act as the dolphin's trainers while Hudson and I stood back and watched. She had a great time. She also loved the sea lion show! Otto, the sea lion loved Reagan too! Evidently, she was kissed so much that she fell off the area she was sitting and was laughing the entire time! She came away from the park with two stuffed animals, a dolphin named Dancer and a sea lion named Otto! She makes sure that they are next to her in bed every night! I think I see a trip to Sea World in our future!

Pier Park Amusement Park

We strayed from the beach one day and went to Pier Park which has a small amusement park. We actually made two trips on the same day and the girls were able to ride a few rides. John rode the Ferris Wheel with Reagan which made her extremely happy. We were all quite hot and sticky by the end!

Florida 2010

It has taken me a week to recover and finally download all the pictures and videos that we and our friend's took while we were in Florida. We all had a great time and loved hanging out with the Schramm family. I will try to document our week to show just how much fun we had. As you will see, we were able to not only play at the beach but also enjoy some of the other fun things in Panama City Beach, Florida.

Beach Time!

Hudson is getting better at the beach, but still not so sure about it. The girls love it, but you have to be close to them to make sure they aren't too brave. Jaxon also is not quite so sure about the beach, but much more tolerant of it compared to Hudson. Hudson does love taking a cat nap at the beach. I would have to say it is a great place to catch up on some rest! Reagan and Kennedy are both ready to go out to the sand immediately after waking up! I wonder if they will get tired of it by the end of the week.....

Happy 4th of July!!

We had a great fireworks show here at the beach. Unfortunately, we had a little rain too. The fireworks were great as long as the kids stayed out to watch them! We had some umbrellas and watched what we could. Hudson and Reagan ended up inside because they didn't want to be out in the rain. Thank you for all of the people that keep our country safe and allow us to live in the best country in the world!!

Panama City Beach

We made it last night to the beautiful beaches of Panama City Beach, Florida. It was a long road here, but all the kids did extremely well. We are still not quite back to our normal schedules, and as you can tell, being at the beach is exhausting! We are excited to see some fireworks tonight from the deck of the house that we have rented. The beach is beautiful and we have been blessed that there is no signs of oil here! The kids are having fun too, but Hudson is not so sure about the sand yet. I don't understand why he loves to play in dirt at home, but does not want to enjoy the great white sand! Hopefully, by the end of the week, that will change!
