The day after Shane and I got back from D.C., we loaded the girls into the van and drove to Mobile for a few days and then to my parent's house in Jay, FL to celebrate the 4th of July. As you can see from the pics, Jocelyn was pretty excited about the trip.... Gabbie...not so much. Both of them actually travel horribly in the car. They refuse to sleep at all so after an hour or so, they scream and scream and scream. I am not exagerating!! It is not a very pleasant experience :)
We had a fantastic time in Mobile catching up with friends. Thanks to the Loyd's for allowing us to totally trash your house for a few days! Below are some pics from the river. Every year on the 4th of July my family takes the pontoon boat out on Blackwater River and we party all day long. My dad actually goes out there at like 4:30am to "get the best sandbar" and then the rest of us mosy out there a few hours later. This was the girls' first year on the river and actually their first time ever on a boat. They loved it!
They didn't know what to think about these life-jackets. They thought they were pretty cool for about 30 seconds, then proceeded to try to rip them off :)
We predicted what would happen once we reached the sandbar. Jocelyn would want to get in the water and never get out. Gabbie would scream when her toe touched the water and would play in the sand the whole day. That is EXACTLY what took place :)
We did manage to get Gabbie in the water for a few minutes...long enough to snap a quick pic!
Jocelyn LOVES the water! Since we got back home from the river, she is now trying to "swim" in the bathtub. I mean, literally, she gets on her stomach and kicks her feet, flaps her arms and puts her head under. She is a fish for sure.
My brother, sister-in-law and cousin Landon. He borrowed Jocelyn's hat b/c she refused to keep it on :)
Big cousin, Kaylea, and Gabbie playing in the sand
The girls love watermelon ALMOST as much as their mommy!
We put Jocelyn in the sand to see if she wanted to play. Obviously she did not! That face is pitiful!
Gabbie "in the water" with daddy :)
