FLORIDA OR BUST!!!!!

Friday after classes, we headed to Erin & Tobin's house in Pensacola, Florida. We got there in time for the 4th of July fireworks. They were awesome.

Then we toured their house and basically went to bed. Their house is amazing. It has three bedrooms, two full baths, two car garage and all around very cute.

Saturday we headed to the beach. Here the kids are watching the dolphins swim by. By the time I got the camera out and ready to take a picture, they were gone. Sorry!

While the kids were digging in the sand, a jelly fish was washed ashore. We think several of us were stung by them - which only hurts for a little while.

This is Tobin's sunburn. He was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt, so the burn is kind of funny looking (if it didn't hurt so bad).

Tobin, Erin, Zachary & Elyse made sand castles. Actually, they wrote Tobin's initials in the sand.

Then we headed to Tobin's next place of employment (the Air Force base - actually it is the Navy base, but it is where he will be for the near future). On the base is a museum with airplanes, aircraft carriers and other military stuff. The kids were able to sit in some of the equipment. Notice Elyse is pretty sunburned.

Zachary loved seeing all the machines. He is sunburned more than Elyse, but his shirt hides it. He is in alot of pain at the moment - we hope he can sleep. We may have to prop him in the corner so his back doesn't touch anything.

Even Tobin got in the act.

This is the job that Tobin will have in a few months. I hope he looks healthier than this guy while he is on the job.

Outside of the museum was a huge anchor. The kids enjoyed climbing on it.

While dinner was cooking, we all took showers and got the sand off us. We were covered. The bathroom floor looked like the beach.

Tomorrow we go to church with Tobin & Erin, have lunch and then head back to the cabin. We are having a great time.

We loved having you! Thanks for breaking in the guest bedroom! Wasn't the beach fun? Too bad we didn't use more sunscreen. Those kids were burnt to a crisp! Tobin's burn is getting better, and mine doesn't feel too bad either right now. Z and E didn't look too good, though! :(

I'm glad you made it for the fireworks! Those were really cool. After you guys left, we went to the mall and ran into IG and Linda from church! They walk the mall on Sundays, I guess. That was neat, it's the first time we've run into people we have known in a random place in Florida.

Ok, love you guys, and look forward to hearing from you when you make it back to Lookout Mountain. Study hard, Dad, in the last week of classes! Enjoy the rest of your vacation, kids and Mom!

Yuck. Sunburns. Hope those heal fast!

Elyse´s suit looks super-cute. (hard to say that 5 times fast!)

Wiiiish I had a beach!!!! In Madrid it´s just hot. No water. :(

So glad you all got to get together. And maybe a little jealous, too.

Thanks for sharing the pics! I see I already have old posts to catch up on. Some other time, I think...I need to run to class!

Love you all!

Ok, I´m all caught up on your last post. That was a LOT of pictures! Does it take you a long time to upload all those?

The kids look so big...can´t believe how old they are. When people ask me questions about what they were like when they were babies, I get them mixed up, like someone who has a lot of kids. Geez, getting old already.

Hope you guys are having fun and not getting worn out in the heat!

Don´t worry about your hair, Mom, it´ll grow back....if you let it!

Love you all, can´t wait to see you!

Awww, Ma!!!

I heard you´re sick and holed-up in the cabin. I´ll be praying for you to be feeling better and back on your feet soon!

While you´re in there, I fished up some jokes to keep you occupied and cheered up. Hope they work. :)

#1 At a fabric store, a pretty girl spots a nice material for a dress and asks the male clerk: How much does it costs? “Only one kiss per yard,” replied the male clerk with a smirk. “That’s fine,” said the girl. I’ll take ten yards.” With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped it up, and then teasingly held it out. The girl took the bag and pointed to the old man standing beside her, and smiled, “Grandpa will pay the bill.”

#2 The owner of a drug store walks in to find a guy leaning heavily against a wall. The owner asks the clerk, "What's with that guy over there by the wall?"
The clerk says, "Well, he came in here this morning to get something for his cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I gave him an entire bottle of laxative."

The owner says, "You idiot! You can't treat a cough with laxatives!"

The clerk says, "Oh yeah? Look at him, he's afraid to cough!"


That´s about the best I can do. It´s quite the chore trying to find decent jokes on the internet. Hope you feel better soon and that the kids are behaving for you in the mean time! Hope you can still have fun with them!

Love you,
Betsey
