We're Back!

Home again, home again, jiggity jig! We got home yesterday morning around 4:00 am--FUN! I think we've finally recovered from the long drive home from Jacksonville. We got plenty of relaxation time in Pensacola. It rained a little in the afternoons, but we got plenty of sun . . .we thought we were so smart taking our own umbrella, but Brian got burnt sitting under it the first day! It helps to have an umbrella made of THICK material that actually blocks UV rays! Little Clayton was covered in sunscreen and still got a little pink that day. We felt horrible! He didn't seem bothered by it but for the next two days we just rented the umbrella from the beach service guy. Worked much better for us because it was one less thing to carry!

For the Fourth, we drove over to Brian's uncle's house in Navarre. We had our own little fireworks show in their backyard. I worried that Clayton wouldn't like them, but he loved watching the lights. The sparklers made him a little nervous. Can't blame him, they make me a little nervous too!
We stayed at a great hotel--very family friendly. Can't take credit for this pic--Brian took it . . .

We drove over to Jacksonville on Friday and Brian went deep sea fishing with his brother on Saturday. I'm so glad he got to go--he's been dying to go for years now. They caught a lot, and this is what they chose to bring home:

We had a great trip--now we'll have to get on back to normal life. Which for someone like me who loves a schedule, isn't all that bad. :)
