CLEARLY... SUMMER IS OVER...

Well, I thought since it was almost Christmas time, I better upload the summer photos from the camera and start to play catch up.   Im seriously the absolute worst blogger.  I go in spurts.  It just takes too long and I rarely have the time to fiddle with it.  So here is the condensed version of our summer!

T-BALL

Rose actually really enjoyed T-ball.  Daddy was her coach and so, that in itself, made for a fun season.  Also, its not a contact sport, so it was a lot more pleasant.  Im starting to think baby girl will need to stick to non-contact for her future...  bless it.

Just candle handle such Loooooonnnnnngggg Games.... of like 35 miutes, tops. 

THE BEACH - Memorial Weekend

This one...  be still my heart.  She hears the sounds of waves, and within 5 minutes - its lights out.  every. single. day.

Kid literally goes so hard for so long... she crashes face first into the sand.  I joke you not.

It is amazing to me how much they have grown and changed in just 5 short months.....

so much love

Also, we went to Gatlinburg for 5 days toward the end of summer.  I honestly cant even remember if I took my camera or not.  I cant find documentation of that trip except on my iphone so im gonna go with NO.  That trip was actually a lot more fun that I thought it would be.  So much fun stuff to do in the mountains and on the strip.  We never even left Gatlinburg - never shopped Pigeon Forge - never went to Dollywood - never went to any shows - and we STILL had more than enough to do.  I took the kids "white water rafting" (aka - a float trip, but with some ripples) - it was fun. I have to kids the props, they did pretty well, other than the helmet (which was a must.)  The girls LOVED playing in the creek and cooking out in the park for lunch.  They had a blast at the visitors station.  I think we were there like two hours looking at the animals.....  They played hard and we had a fabulous time!
