Today we are at Dennis and Kathy's cabin hanging out....it's rainy today. So at least the kids can go up to the lodge and goof off since we can't be outside. Tomorrow night is the auction for the Cause for Paws and then Saturday if the golf outing. I'm not golfing...so I hope the weather improves so that the kids and I can enjoy some time on the lake.
With all of the horse shows and driving we do...We decided to get an RV. (Brad and Renee bought one last summer...having one makes a HUGE difference!)
Dan searched online for a couple of weeks and finally found one that we liked. Apparently an older couple owned it. The husband became ill and they had to get rid of it. It's a 2004 but is in EXCELLENT condition. No stains or rips anywhere.
The kids love it, of course. We've spent a lot of time in it the last several days. We took it to a horse show last weekend (pictures to follow in a later post). Hopefully, we can get a few more short road trips in before we have to put her in storage.
We spent the morning packing to go home. We tried to spend a couple of hours on the beach...but we got rained out. It was probably for the best. I still had a lot of last minute packing to do. Daddy and Ann would be picking us up later to drive us to the airport. We had a wonderful week in Destin...but we were all ready to come home.
Thursday morning started out quiet...Thank goodness!!! Heather and Mom were packing everything. They would leave later. But first....One more trip to the Outlet Mall :o) Mom was a huge help keeping the little ones wrangled...While Heather and I did as much damage in as little time as possible.
Then it was time for Mom and Heather to go. It's always hard to say good-bye.
Wednesday was AWESOME!!!! We all got up and headed to the beach. It was the most beautiful I've ever seen. The waves were low...there was no seaweed...no jellyfish...and the water was perfect. The kids had a blast!
Tuesday morning Heather and I took advantage of Gamma a little bit :o) We hit the outlet mall for some power shopping.
Then my neice, Katie... her mom, Katherine...and little brothers, Steven an
d Zach came for a visit. They spent the afternoon at the pool. It was great to see them.
Later that day, my God-sister, Dede...and her 3 girls, Krista, Jessica, and Hanna came to spend the night.
Dani spent A LOT of time walking around the house with all of our cell phones...apparently "talking to Daddy".
Then later that afternoon, my cousin, Jason, his wife, Heather, and her 12-yr daughter, Ariel came for a visit from Pensacola. We went to the Baytowne Village for dinner, and a magic show. We all had a nice time.
Sunday...Day 3...We spent the day at the pool. It was perfect. Then Daddy and Ann popped in with a bucket of the biggest and yummiest hot boiled peanuts I 
think I've ever had. Thanks, MiMi!! They also brought their granddaughter, Braeli to swim.
So, you thought I was kidding when I named our blog "Three-Ring Circus"??? Well...Here's Dani showing off her horse routine. :o)
The Little League Baseball season is officially over! Hallelujah! Billy played coach-pitch baseball this summer....every Tuesday and Thursday night! We couldn't miss any of the games because Dan was the coach. We learned THAT lesson the hard way :o) Billy was quite the little star of the team, though. He has a heck of a swing, runs like lightning, and even caught two line-drives in two different games. We're glad this season is over, but I'm sure we'll on the field again next summer!
Big news...
Last Sunday, while we were at the horse show in Minnesota, Billy lost his first tooth! Anyone who know me...knows that I had NOTHING to do with it! At one point I recall Dan and Billy discussing it...but I wasn't paying much attention. Then all of a sudden, Billy was standing in front of me and said, "Look, Mom!" I looked up at him and there it was...or I should say...wasn't.
