Back to Reality

We made it back from a week long stint at the beach. We had a fantastic time and it was so nice to be down with the whole family. Kylie loved the beach! She was not so much a fan of the pool but really loved the beach...thank goodness. I am one of those people that believes if you go to the beach you need to actually go to the beach so I was thrilled that she loved it. We had Lee's family reunion in Fairhope over the weekend while we were down and that was fun. His cousin hosted the reunion and she lives in a really cool, very old, sort of converted farm house. It was really neat and she had the most amazing antiques. I loved seeing everything but of course this made it very difficult with Kylie, I couldn't take my eyes off of her for a minute. We had fun, ate a delicious meal and then returned back to the beach. The rest of the time we spent either at the beach or the pool with Amanda, Olivia, Christian, Daniel, and Vica (Jerry had to leave to go back to work). We had so much fun with all of the kids. We managed to eat at some of our favorite restaurants and even tried some new ones. And of course we all had to make a stop at Scoops for some ice cream. Lee and his dad (Paw-Paw) went on a fishing trip on Father's Day. They had a wonderful time and managed to catch over 400 lbs of snapper! If anyone has a good recipe for snapper, please let me know as we have plenty. They had such a good time and I believe the trip was a nice break for Lee. Honey and I made it to the Outlets and the Wharf for some shopping which was fun. I mainly just hit up the party outlet store for everything we needed for Kylie's Birthday party coming up. It was a great trip and we cannot wait to go back! I swear I could live at the beach!
