Trying to catch up...weekend in Fairhope

Last weekend, we went down to Fairhope.  The Tidmore's came down on Friday to stay the weekend with us!  Our girls and their boys played really well together.  Ava Kate and Talon are close in age and Tucker is a couple years older than Anna Riley.  On Thursday night, we went to eat at a local restaurant and didn't last long.  We ended up getting the food in boxes to carry home and eat.  Ava Kate is NOT great in a restaurant right now! But the good news is, she traveled much better!  We made it the whole 4 hours with no tears!
Since Talon and AK aren't fans of eating out, we cooked on Friday night.  We picked up crawfish and then did a shrimp boil!  So good!!! We did go eat on Saturday night but the kids got to play while we ate!  
The weather was really gloomy and chilly on Friday, so Riley and I took the girls to Bass Pro Shop and then went to Kanagrooz...a place with lots of jump houses.  I even got in them and burned off a few calories! ;)  Saturday, the weather was beautiful so we enjoyed the beach that day!  


Such a mess!  
Headed to dinner!

This is the way to do it when you have small kids!





Bass Pro Shop

AK found us a boat!

AR found us a 4-wheeler!  She was very upset
when she found out we weren't really buying it!

AK's mean face!  


Daddy had fun too!  

AK is fearless!

Anna Riley got her first fishing pole!

My little laying out buddy!




A tree trunk had washed to the beach during
the storm, but it made a nice bench!



Eating at Big Daddy's!  All 4 kids were loving
some crab claws!

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny came and brought lots of fun
goodies to play with this summer!






My sweet girl is growing up so fast!

It was raining so we had to take pictures inside! :(

I love how Anna Riley is looking up
at Riley! So sweet! They adore their
Daddy!!
Silly faces! 

I had to post these next few because they make me laugh!
It is so hard to get a picture sometimes!


The best we could get! AK is crying because she wants
her Daddy!

We enjoyed a wonderful service at church!


Lunch at Aunt Grace's house. AK enjoyed
the Easter cupcakes!

She loves her Pop Pop!!


Playing with the Easter goodies that afternoon!


Egg Hunt at Pop Pop's house


The Saturday before Easter, we had an egg hunt at Pop Pop's house.  Unfortunately it was raining so we had to hunt eggs in the basement.  The two little ones were not interested in the eggs at all.  They wanted to climb up and down the stairs.  Anna Riley loved hunting the eggs but stopped each time to open it and get the candy out! 

Duncan really enjoyed the chocolate!













It is frustrating sometimes that we can't get a good picture
but these are the ones I will look back on a laugh! :)




They said they were talking about "birthdays"

AK decided to join the conversation
