Orange Beach 2015 Part 3

On our third day down, we decided to go to Pensacola. Last year we went down to visit Pensacola Christian Academy, which is the school where the Abeka videos are made. Our school uses those videos to teach our kids. We went back this year and the kids picked up a few things then we made a drive by the beach (across the 3 mile bridge), and came back to our beach to swim.


This was at Pensacola Beach, FL
Notice how pretty the water was! Unfortunately, it was not that pretty down on our beach when we got back. There was so much seaweed and so many jellyfish that it was near impossible to enjoy yourself. We stayed on the sand and then went in to get ready early because we were going to The Hangout!


Trey had a blast playing in the bubbles


The girls


Carlie requested a picture by herself


Finally got all three of them


Then Trey wanted his own picture


The coolest parents ever had to have one too ;)


Goodbye hangout, it was a great visit!


When we got back to the hotel Carl, Carlie, and Trey went out to play ball on the beach and me and Makena just chilled out. She read a book and I soaked it all in. There is just something about the beach that makes you just say, "wow God, you are one awesome Creator". He knows exactly how many grains of sand are there, how many fish, He created that beautiful sunrise/sunset...it all points to Him.


We also saw this little guy while we were sitting. He ran across the rail in front of us then ran down it and Makena finally got a picture of it.


It was a nice evening.


I love spending time with my family. I'm so thankful for all of them!

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
