Texas

Daddy left for training camp a few days ago, so the girls and I packed up and flew out to Dallas, TX to see a friend of mine that I haven't seen in about five years.  They have five kids from ages 2-11.  The 11 year old is a girl, Kenedy, so they all had fun playing dress up and scheming slumber parties each night.  Also, swimming, American Girl, water balloon fights...pretty much everything fun!  My friend and I just had fun hanging out and catching up while the kids played.  So happy we got to go for a visit!

Dance Party

Some crazy dancing...

Which turned into wrestlin'!

Special Days

Whitney got a free ticket for reading to Six Flags at the end of the school year last year, so daddy and she had a special day riding all the roller coasters they could!  They were there from about 2:00 until the park closed!  Her favorite ride was Thunder River, a water ride which, thankfully they rode at the end of the day, because they got completely drenched.  She came home in her underwear with a towel wrapped around her.  She also rode a big one called Mind Bender that had "two loopy-loops!"  She loved it all!

While daddy and Whitney were gone, Lindsey and I made our way up to Babyland General to see the Cabbage Patch Babies.  I should have known we were going to end up coming home with one!  She used her Christmas money though, which created some tears once she realized it was all gone.  She learned a good lesson is finance.  In the end, I think it was a good investment.  She hardly ever puts that thing down.  Meet "Anna Kate."

Dentist

This is the kind of craziness that happens at our dentist.  Love, love, love that place!

Folly Beach 2013

This year for our trip to Folly, we decided to take a shorter trip and stay at the lone hotel there instead of a condo.  I personally could have used a few more days, but was very thankful for the time we did have.  And the company wasn't so bad either!  The girls continue to love the beach.  We didn't get to the pool once.  They were too busy digging in the sand, looking for clams, surfing the waves, chowing on some snacks and plain old having a good time!  Lots of friends and kiddos made for a great trip!

Lots of snuggles in the morning!

There was some serious boogie boarding going on!

Fun in the Sun!
