Vacation all I ever wanted....

Well we are back and I must say we had a great time! This is the 7th time we've gone to the Alabama State Bar convention and this year was my favorite. It was so nice to have time with just Marky. Usually when we swim Julia latches onto Daddy like a koala bear and he can't really play with our big boy. This trip was all about Marky- we threw him back and forth in the pool, let him skip naps and stay up late to watch fireworks, let him drink sprite two times (a REAL treat), and just get some one-on-0ne time where he didn't have to "wait for the baby". I LOVE that picture above where he is adoring his daddy.
Here we are at family fun night on the beach. He had a sword painted on his face if you are wondering.
He got to climb the rock wall (with daddy cheering him on). He also did a bunch of carnival games. They had a mullet toss for the whole group and I told big Marc to get in and win the thing- and he did! We won a crystal vase- he beat over 70 people.
A big highlight of the trip was Shelley coming over for the day with her babies. Here is Ella, Streed, Marky and on the towel baby Nathan (who was an angel and slept on that towel while we played in the pool). They were having icecream and Streed and Marky had made airplanes.
Here's the crew at the beach. Marky and Streed hadn't seen each other in over a year or so and they picked up right where they left off- they get along really well! Meanwhile back at BB's.......
Julia was having the time of her life- this was her first time to be kept by herself at BB and Poppy's. She found herself a nice reading nook.
And she got to swim everyday with BB- and I'm sure she played with whatever she wanted and ate whatever she wanted.
When we swung through Mobile we had a little birthday party for BB. Happy Birthday BB we love you!!!!
