Although we have lived in Florida for 4 years now... we finally went to visit my friend Ashley from High School who lives SIX hours away! Why has it taken us so long to see one another?! Now that we are moving this summer- we finally got motivated to visit and had a blast. I regret not doing this sooner. She has a wonderful family- Chris, her husband was so nice, welcoming and patient with having three extra kids running around their house. Hayden, their 5 year old was so cute!! He played so well with Aydin and Morgan that they didnt want to leave. The twins: Audrey and Grayson are just adorable!! If we were not done having kids... I would want twins!! Although Liam was either very sweet to them or pinching them, he loved playing with them.
We left Tuesday and arrived just before dinner. We hung around while the kids played and ran crazy around their house.
Wednesday was raining so we decided to go to lunch at this wings place and go to see the Lorax- FINALLY. I have been trying to make it to that movie since it came out and am so happy we went. It was a cute movie and Liam et me sit through all of it- it could have something to do with the fact that he fell asleep for the last 30 min.
After the movie was over the rained stopped so we went to the sprinkler park which was not running so we went to the park instead. Luckily the kids had their swimsuits on because the whole thing was wet and they loved it!
Morgan surfing...
and swinging...
Thursday we headed down by the coast and had a fabulous lunch at Lulu's. What a fun place to eat!! They had such a long wait but the kids did not care; they had sand, toys, the water, and a huge climbing gym that the kids were able to walk around!!
Yes- That is MORGAN!!
Ashley and Liam
Buddies!
After lunch- we went across the street to the go-cart track, bumper boats and rides. The kids had a blast and it was worth every penny.
Friday we woke up and headed to the Gulf Shores beach!! I LOVE the GULF beaches.... but then again what is not to love about white powered sand and crystal clear water?! We could have stayed all day if Ashley wasn't so white :)... no, we had to get home to grab the twins so Chris could get stuff done.
Before dinner- we decorated eggs...
We had planned on leaving Friday night... but that didnt happen. Saturday morning we woke up and had an Easter egg hunt before we left... and had a great time.
Of course all the babies are not looking... but all 6 kids!!
What a cutie!
Morgan LOVED holding Audrey. SHe said if we could have a baby sister for her, she would love it because boys are annoying. That's my girl!
It was a great week- it is nice to know that even though we have not seen one another for 6 years, it felt like we had seen each other yesterday. Ashley and Chris- thanks for a great week!! Next time... you need to visit us- IN SPAIN :)
