Pensacola Lighthouse

As we walked in to pay for our tour we past this sign!

The lighthouse has been featured on the SciFi Channel and a ghost hunt has been filmed there.

I don't believe in ghost or anything like that, but I thought it was pretty cool!

The girls walking up to the keepers quarters

While we were there the lighthouse was under a little construction. They were painting a black strip on it. There is no way I could have that job! I was scared to death of falling on the stairs climbing up and coming back down the actual lighthouse.

Part of the keepers quarters. They couldn't have picked a creepier looking "fake" man!

The view was absolutely beautiful from the top. I was fine when I got up there, I just couldn't hardly handle the stairs. They were so narrow and winding....at one point I thought I would have a panic attack! I guess that's why I was so relieved when I made it to the top.

Me and the kids....it was really windy up there!

Carl and the kids. He was completely opposite of me. He climbed the stairs fine, but as soon as he got to the top he froze. He couldn't look over the side and about freaked out when Trey leaned over!!

I did it! I finally got the chance to climb a lighthouse. It has been on my bucket list for a while. This one had some great history behind it, so it was very interesting. It was scary, but I did it and man did my knee let me feel it for a while. The next morning we were all very sore. I'm so glad we were able to fit this in on our vacation!

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day. It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight! Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues. She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps. She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one. We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough. Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me. Please pray that she feels better soon. Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising. I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
