An Awesome Weekend

We just got home from an amazing weekend at our friends house on the Gulf Coast. They invited us and the Kuhn family to stay for the weekend--9 houseguests!!

We got to try tubing, jet skiing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and boating! We swam in the gulf and spent some time on the North Sand Bar, which is a beach about 3 miles out from the mainland. The kids had a ball in Ryleigh's paddleboat and just generally enjoyed spending time together.

I will add photos soon!

It was an amazing weekend!

Mis-SHAKES

We stopped for lunch at Steak-N-Shake on our way to our friends, the Morse Family, house. The waitress accidentally knocked over Emily's shake. Emily looked very upset about it, so the waitress said, "Don't worry, sweetie, I'll get you another one."

Bailey said, "Yeah, it's okay. Everyone makes mistakes!"

And then Liam piped up, "But when you make a mistake here, they call it a mis-SHAKE!"

I thought that was very funny and clever!!
