Headed to the Pen

Steve had to fix some cracked tiles around the house which was going to take a few days for the entire process of drying and all that stuff, so I volunteered to take the kiddos to Pensacola after our Gulfarium visit. They were worn out after the Gulfarium.
One of our many trips to the playground across the street from Uncle Joe's house.

Notice the extra kid. That's Abby. Nathan really likes Abby and tries his best to impress her. First time he met her his pick-up line was, "I don't live here. I live at the beach." Then her response was, "So do I." Nathan didn't realize Pensacola was the beach too. When he saw her again last weekend he told her about how his uncle has a sports car and he rode in it with the top down. She didn't care though.

Then Abby started walking over to the other side of the playground following her older sister's group of friends. Nathan didn't want her to get away. This is the funniest scenario I think I have ever seen Nate in.

Kathryn became a little possessive over Uncle Joe too. Once he came over to the swings I was no longer good enough to push her. We saw a playground today on the way home from school and she said, "Uh Joe, wing." That means "Uncle Joe swing."

Here is the obligatory Kat & cat picture.

I got a sweet picture of Jessica snuggling with her mommy while she's still all hers.

On the way home from Pensacola we stopped at the mall to buy circus tickets. What was going to be a quick and easy trip turned into this:

Luckily we were on our way home from Pensacola with a suitcase and clothes in the car.
