Vacation

I am a couple of weeks late getting these pictures posted, but here they are FINALLY!

We went to Lake Martin with my family for the first couple of days.

Kirksey was still not fond of her life jacket, but she liked the boat (best when it was stationary).

She enjoyed the steering wheel and loved the horn once she found it. Good thing there were not many people on our slew that day!

Having a good time with Aunt Heather

And of course Daddy!

Beware...you might be blinded by these white boys.

Kirksey has learned to put the ear pieces up to her ears to listen to music. Richard said that she went around the house for about an hour one day doing this.

After the lake, we headed to Birmingham for a couple of days. Kirksey got to try out her pool that Mimi and Papa have at their house.

If you look close you can see a few scratches on Kirksey's face. They are from where she fell down about 15 steps at the lake. Talk about scaring me to DEATH! Thankfully she was okay.

Richard added lots of hot water to the hose water, which made the pool water just like bath water. Kirksey liked it!

Kirksey found her monitor. Do you think she wanted a nap?

We headed to Gulf Shores for the last half of our vacation. I had not been to Gulf Shores since I was a kid. It was so much fun going back. Although, it was totally different going on a beach trip with a little one than I remembered!

Going out to the beach for the first time this year.

She didn't like the sand very much at all. When we would try to put her feet in the sand, she would pick up her legs so they wouldn't touch.

It was so nice to have Aunt Bee with us on our first beach trip of the day.

We were able to finally lure her to a little "pool" of water where she played with seashells.

Sweet toddler feet and chunky legs!

Getting the hang of it

We went back out after nap time. Daddy, Uncle Neel, and Emmy joined Aunt Bee, Kirksey, and me. Big Daddy watched us from the balcony of our condo.

Daddy and Uncle Neel decided to build a sand castle.

Happy to be in Emmy's lap and not touching the sand!

The boys enlisted some help...

Uncle Neel putting on the finishing touch

We had a wonderful vacation!
