Spring Break 2015

We did a last minute switch up for spring break this year.  We decided to head somewhere warm since we are all sick of this cold cold winter.  It took us a while to get there, but we drove our camper down to Pensacola for some swim and surf.

We stopped in Memphis on the way down to visit the zoo.  Here are a few of my favorite photos.

At our campground in Pensacola!

Our campground was close to the Blue Angels naval base.  Tuesday and Wednesday we watched them practice their routine for the upcoming air shows.  It was very cool!  

We also toured the naval museum.  This place was HUGE!  It is difficult to see it all in a day.  

We played at the beach too, but I didn't take my camera.  We also did some geocaching...

 FOUND IT!

We went to a seafood restaurant that was also a favorite dining spot of this great blue heron.

 They also had the weirdest (and yummiest) french fries I've every seen.

 On our way back home we stopped in Jackson Mississippi to visit their nature center.

 Logan would like the opportunity to rid the world of feral hogs.

 Here is is practicing his aim.  Funny boy!

 Another great family vacation!  So sad to come back to this COLD!

Splashing Birthday Celebration

Saturday we took Logan and his buddy to Coco Key Water Park to celebrate his birthday.  It was nice to be able to set them free and say "HAVE FUN" but I didn't meet up with them often to get photos so you'll have to make do with the few ones I could snap.

11th Birthday Surprise

For MANY MANY years Logan has asked for the same thing for his birthday.  A gas powered 4wheeler.  And for MANY MANY years Eric and I have been telling him he's not old enough.  This year Eric and I decided he is old enough for a junior version.  Can you tell by this kids face that he is happy with his birthday surprise?

 Too bad he was born in February!  This year it was C.O.L.D.!!!!!

 We took him out to his grandparents woods to ride the trails and Eric borrowed their 4wheeler to follow Logan.

 Back inside to warm up we enjoyed some pre-dinner birthday cake.
Dessert before dinner.  Now you KNOW it's a special day!

He went back out to ride some more before it got too dark then we headed to his dinner restaurant of choice....

PIZZA STREET!

First Day as an 11 Year-old!

Many more great things to come today, but so far Amanda and I woke up the birthday boy with cinnamon rolls in bed, baked a pound of bacon as a surprise, and had a birthday morning photo shoot.

 I think it's still a little too early.  His eyes look very puffy!  : )

 I also found the time to wash the dogs this morning but Logan wanted to include Casey in this photo shoot.  Wet dog or not!
