Our Vacation.........So much fun

Friday we left around 9:00 A.M. and took Kennleigh down to Orange Beach.  We had a blast.  We decided to take the Foley Beach express even though it did mean paying to cross the toll bridge.  Kennleigh was so ready to see the water we knew this would be the quickest way and as we crossed the bridge she could look to the right or the left and see water. :) We has so much fun she got to see a plane land on the way to the toll bridge and she thought this was so quick.  When those little blue eyes spotted the water O they just filled with excitement.  For someone who had been to the beach when she was 1 and again 2 she was supper excited this time.  She will be three in August and she has gotten taller.  SHe was able to to ride the go karts at THe Track and she thought she was so big. I think we ended up going to the track like four times.  She rode the train, the bumper boats, the horses, and ALL of the little rides that took like .50 to ride.  Hey it was fine by us they were in the shade and she was laughing and having a good time.  We went to Jake's for supper and Kennleigh said she needed some steak.  Really, steak for a three year old.. okay not usually, but Friday night it was a Yes.  We went down to Foley and did a little shopping and played in the center park unitl 9:00 P.M.  When we got back to the Hotel she needed to go back to the beach and for a swim.  She loved the beach she played with the sand a little unsure of the waves, but she did adjust quickly.  We then went to the pool they had to kick us out to clean it at midnight.  She refused to leave at 11:00 and I was not making her get out until the security guard came around. She met two friends from Lousiana who were teenagers. SHe is growny they loved Kennleigh's accent so on Saturday night they went up and got there entire family to come to the pool.  They sat on by the one and half foot deep kiddy pool and listen to her fill them full of stories some true, but most not for a solid hour.  This is no exaggeration I timed it because I was amazed that they sat there that long. 

Saturday morning we slept in and then it was back to the track and over to adventure Island that afternoon.  Saturday morning at 9 we went to Mr. Walter and Mrs. Jacki Mixon.   We had a blast.  This is a couple from our church they come to church with us when they stay here in Mckenzie, but this weekend they were in Magnolia Springs at there home where they have there boat.  We went out on the boat for about two hours.  Kennleigh pretended to drive, then Mr. walter let her blow the horn on the boat, they got her a pepsi to drink so she could ride and look.  SHe road down the river and waved at some girls they new and she hollars Hey guls ( girls) like she had known them forever.  Thanks so much Mr. Walter and Mrs. Jacki for your hospitality and taking us out on the boat we all had such a great time.  Kennleigh now thinks that Paw Paw is suppose to buy her a boat though.  Karissa brought little Blakeleigh bug to us Saturday evening, the reason for this is Blakeleigh is like Momma she don't like heat.  I mean who could blame her, but I do enjoy getting outside with my girls and then its even more exciting when I come back inside and feel that nice AC the Lord has blessed us with.  Karissa and Landon came down and did our family portraits, and then we went to eat at O'Charley's with Karissa and Landon we had a great time talking and laughing with them.  Kennleigh loves Mr. Allen this would be Landon where allen came from we are not sure.  Well now she calls him Landon but she thinks he is Karissa's daddy.  How funny is that.  So after we left Karissa we went to TCBY and had Ice cream and then back to the hotel for some Pool and Beach time.  We visited with our out of town friends and let kennleigh tell about How good of a roper she was and how many crowns she had won.  The funny thing is she has never roped off of spook just rode and played with a rope on the ground.  They thought her and uncle Zack were team roping pros for the longest time until I corrected it.  I just laughed it was just funny.

SO SUnday Moring we got up and went to get Airbrushed T- shirts and went back to the Track we went to play at the park.  She was so sad when it was time to leave, but that did not last long she was so tired by four when we headed home she just fell over the console and went right to sleep.   Blakeleigh was great on SUnday and loved our walk at the park and Sliding down the slide.  She as well just slept on the way home .  Blakeleigh loved letting us put her at the edge of the beach water and letting it run on her toes.   This is a trip I will never forget and we do indeed look forward to going back and having a great time.  Our next trip we are planning to take Aunt Ashley, Uncle Kyle, and Jonathan this will be lots of fun.
