Busy, Busy, Busy! (Alabama and Florida)

The minute it starts to warm up outside it seems like the Nix family goes into "busy mode." Too much to post (too busy to post) so we'll go with the most FUN so far this summer!
The kids and I left Jared for the longest time EVER about a week ago. We piled into a car with Becca and Abbey and headed to Alabama to spend time with Aaron, Courtney and sweet Caroline. We left on a Monday and spent about 8 hours in the car. The kids were PERFECT...well, let's just say Abbey was perfect....my two did good!!! Becca had every toy imagined packed into one basket and it kept the kids very well entertained. They watched lots of movies and ate lots of junk. =) We had the best time catching up, going to the park, shopping, going to the beach for the day, lots of yummy eating and just being together. Here's a few pictures from our time in Alabama.
Then Friday morning Becca, the kids and I left Alabama and headed to Florida for the rest of the week to crash at my parents place where they had been staying for the week! It was a two bedroom, two bath place so for five adults and three kids it was a little tight, but that's what you do to be on the beach. It was a nice place. You opened the door and there was the pool (literally) and a few more steps the ocean (even better). We spent two days playing the in sand, giving Blair "swimming lessons", eating sea food and soaking up the sunshine. The kids had a BLAST!
These pictures cannot possibly tell you how much FUN we had!! By the time we headed home I was tired and ready to see Jared...but then in two days I was calling Becca to see if she wanted to go somewhere else. haha!
June is a fun-filled very busy month. Will post again soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
