Orlando

We just returned from an eventful (to say the least) trip with the McFarland's to Orlando.  We really did have an AWESOME trip with one little snafu ... Charlie's finger got smashed in the front door to our condo and he ended up having to have surgery and spent 2 nights in the hospital :(  I know this was definitely not the trip my friends were anticipating but I loved how they stepped it up with great attitudes and kept saying "it could have been a lot worse" and managed so well to still give Mac a great trip and we all did journey on to Disney World on our last full day.  Here are A LOT of pics from our fun trip:

 Dinner Time

 Carter and Charlie (pre-accident)

 Movie time

 iPad time

 Pool time

 Loving the arcades

 Hippo Slide

 And of course ... the moment we had all been awaiting

 Checking out our tickets

 We voted Luke as the most excited!!

 1st ride - Thunder Mountain - they LOVED it!!

 Our fivesome

 Graham was SO excited that he maxed out his points and beat Daddy :)

 Ice cream break

 Watching the parade

 Tea cups

 Meeting Goofy

 And Donald

 Carter trying to pull out the sword in the stone

 We made it to the fireworks

A very fun but VERY exhausting day - Graham is literally asleep

We've hit an all-time low!!

When I think Luke and Carter's room can't get any more bare, they go and break their beds (well, Luke's back bar cracked in half and Carter's was only missing a spindle), so now they're on mattresses on the floor :)  We are in the process of getting them some twin beds, so it's just temporary, but I think they actually kind of like it.  And it sure does make bed-making easy!!  

I love how I found Carter asleep one night :)

Weekend at Pickwick

We spent a weekend at Pickwick Lake a few weekends ago with my parents and Wilson's family ... it was A LOT of fun!!!!  I hope our boys continue to enjoy weekends at the lake as much as I did growing up ... it's a special place!!

 Countless rides on the super mable

 Lots of jumping in from the dock

 Carter driving the boat with Bet Bet

 L&C watching uncle Wilson work his magic

 Samuel, Wils, and Graham - big boys turn

 Luke, Brantley, and Carter - little guys turn

 Big guys watching the little guys

 One of many games of Sorry with Bet Bet and Snacks

And of course ending the night sharing some of Snacks' ice cream :)

10 Years!!!!

We headed down to St. Thomas to celebrate our 10 year anniversary ... what a trip!!!!  I think the best way to sum it up for me is to say that at one point, I had a really hard time getting myself motivated to drag myself away from the pool to go to the spa for my 80 minute massage :)  Kevin and I do NOT have a hard time relaxing, and boy did we do a lot of it ... sleeping til 10, countless hours by the pool/beach, lingering dinners, etc.  Another highlight was simply having uninterrupted conversations ... it really was so nice to talk and talk - reflecting on past memories, dreaming for our future, and just laughing and being silly together.  I couldn't ask for a better partner to journey on in life together and feel so grateful for the excitement of so many more years ahead.  

 Dinner at Havana Blue

 I miss this view desperately

 My absolute favorite spot

 We took a sunset cruise our last night

And while we were away ...

 A little disc golf with the McCalla boys

 Putt Putt

 I don't even want to know how many hours of tv they watched :)

A sleepover with the Moore boys

Too cute

I'm sorry, but this pic is WAY too cute not to post.  Wilson's family rolled into town on Friday afternoon and we all got together at Jackson's house and decided to let the kiddos do a little skinny dipping ... not too sure how much longer they'll be ok with it :)  Gotta love it!!!!
