Reality Check

Our last evening was really a fun one at Destin.  Just before dark, the rain let up for awhile and the family decided one last beach trip was needed.  We didn't take anything but ourselves, a camera, and the paddle ball game...  Zander and Todd had to have ONE more game to decide who the paddle ball champ was for this trip.  BTW, Zander was the Paddle Ball Champ!

We had a blast being silly and taking all kinds of funny pics.....

Addie Girl has alot of expressions!! YIKES!

We also had alot of fun doing handstands, backbends, and even jumping over crossropes!!! YES, this momma can still out handstand her kids and out jump them all!!! ***Thanks to CrossFit!

Handstands-BackBends-FailedAttempts :-).

We did get a few family pics.....but we were not dressed for the occasion at all!!!

Where's Todd?--- YELLOW??

I won't lie... As we walked off that beach that evening, I felt a little teary eyed and sad.  Our two week family vacation had come to an end.  Our family time was ending!  Reality of going home to our busy and hurried lives was awaiting for us at home!!  But I really just wanted to stay as far away from all that just a little longer! HA!  This vacation was an absolute blessing!  Todd and I have said it several times....this may be the last time our whole family can take a vacation like this together for this long of a time.  Addie will be in high school next year, which means if she plays volleyball or any fall sports, she will need to be in Gunter in August.  I work all of July at my church and the boys play baseball all of June.  Our time is limited as you can see from that schedule.  So to have this vacation right now might be the only one we get like this.  I do feel like the kids appreciated it, enjoyed it, and that we all became a closer family because of the vacation.  We made some GREAT and LASTING MEMORIES!!!


It took us 12.5hrs to get home after stopping at Monroe to see the Duck Dynasty workplace and after getting caught behind an 18wheeler wreck on I20. 

Duck Dynasty Stop! HAPPY! HAPPY! HAPPY!

 

 

 We are now home and back to REALITY! Paying bills, deep cleaning floors and bathrooms, and catching up on work.  Todd had two more weeks off and we will spend the next two weeks tweaking our at home diets!!!  ***Just in time for back to school! :-).


Weight: Home scale says I only lost 3.5lbs (but hard to tell since I having a cycle right now)
Workout: I have already done crossfit this morn and ran 2miles.... hoping to run another few miles this evening while Gabe is at football!
Diet: Doing shakeology twice a day this week.....and eating clean.
