Elementary School and The Beach (post below)

Thats right, folks, today was the first day of Elementary School. Kindgergarten for T. T was very excited to have people she knew in her class. I think she'll have a great year. I just hope she learns something. I know that summer had barely begun for the kids up North--believe it or not we are not the first school system in Atlanta to go back to school.

Here are some pics of the big kid....my camera isn't taking the best pictures in low light....I have to get out the manual to figure out what setting to use, but you get the idea....



Pensacola Beach, Florida

Beautiful scenery pics first...........



We had a fabulous family weekend at Pensacola Beach, FL this past weekend. It was only about a 4.5 hour drive, and a very drive at that. T loved the beach (J liked it OK), and J loved the pool there-it was very kid friendly. We didn't realize there was a Bushwacker Festival going on-apparently this drink is big in Pensacola Beach, so we went over to the Boardwalk to check it out (think Fells Point, Baltimore crowd, on a Friday night + a beach)-lets just say we got some pizza and brought it back to the hotel veranda and ate it while looking at the beach-the Bushwacker Festival was not the best place for kids. This was a great end to the summer for us. Thanks for the recommendation, Denise!

J sticking his head in the fountains in the pool. I didn't get a picture of the 'booty dance' he was doing. And, no, I had nothing to do with it-I don't know where he gets these things!


My blue eyed-babies have a hard time seeing at the beach--this pic was taken at sunset-late sunset at that and they are still squinting (but still cute)
