Ranch Roundup

Friday during the day there was a kids rodeo at Ranch Roundup this year. The kids had a blast even though we had to wait in line 45 minutes to ride the pony and the bull.Petting zoo:

We had to tell him to let go at the end of it. The lady operating the bull would ask the kids if they wanted to get bucked off or just jump off on their own and of course John wanted to get bucked off and he did.

More Destin pictures

The view from our condo... We went with 3 other families and here are all the kids, Whitley was the only girl! The bird just pecked John on the head Whitley wasn't so sure about the birds so we let Daddy hold them. Out to dinner. The guys went fishing one morning and had very good luck. We brought the fish home and ate it this weekend it was great. They almost caught a shark, they had their gun out ready to shoot it when they got it in the boat and it got away at the very last second. Poor Charles fought the shark for a long time before it got away. That's the story they tell anyway!

Our last night there we had so much fun!

Destin Florida Vacation

Great Wolf Lodge

A few weekends ago we met my parents and sisters at Great Wolf Lodge. We had a blast! Whitley had fun the first day, but was not feeling well, so she got to play at Aunt Kami and Aunt LeeAnn's house in Irving the second day. Of course I didn't take my camera down the first day, thinking I would get pictures the next. So, I don't have pictures of Whitley at the water park...I know poor Whitley! Saturday night we at at Rainforest Cafe, which is always a hit. We highly recommend Great Wolf!



You can see the big slides in this picture, they are so fun and some are scary!

The big bucket that dumps out on everyone

the bucket pouring out

Kurt had more fun that John I think!

John was able to ride all slides except for 3 of the big scary slides. He rode the two big ones outside and the two big ones inside, then they had these middle size slides and some toddler slides.

John wore his goggles the entire time, both days.


The toddler slides.

Me, Kurt, John and my niece Kira.

John is 2 months older than Kira (and yes she is taller than he is) and they are the best of buds!

KK and Whitley after they spent the day together.

John and his cousin Destry. Destry is following in his sisters footsteps, he is very big for his age. He is four months old and weighs 19.8 pounds. Whitley is 2 and weighs 21 pounds! :)
