Pensacola Paradise

Nate and Kate have been asking about JAJA's house for a few weeks now. We finally had a day that we were both free so we jumped at the opportunity to visit Pensacola. The kids absolutely love visiting Jessica and Allison's house. It's probably one of the most fun places they've ever been. They could probably be anywhere and as long as the four of those kids are together it would be the funnest place ever.

We met the photographer at the Fish House to pick up our cousin pictures. We got there early so Nate and Kate just hung out and played.

 Kathryn actually played.

 Nate played DS.

 The moment they had been waiting for... a Haggerty sighting.

 Here we are all together.

 Complete with the four little bad cousins.

 Best cousin buddies.

Jessica just happened to be the one gone to the bathroom at that particular moment. Every kid had their potty moment. (Lady, ask Joe about Nathan.)

 After we ate at the Fish House, one of my favorite restaurants, we walked over to the Seafood Festival.

 They had live bands that the kids enjoyed.

Kathryn took a moment to show off her dancing skills.

 Sisters just hanging out.

 Then all of the sudden it started pouring down rain. We rushed to shelter.

 Rainy kid pics.

 Then we went back to JAJA's house to find they had no electricity.

 Who needs electricity when you have fun kids to play with?

 They're playing Chuck E. Cheese on stage.

 Then up to the bedroom for a bed slide. See why they love it there?

After all their acrobatics they were hot with no a/c in the house so we decided to take a trip to our favorite food court and cool off with ice cream from A&W.

 Turns out, the food court didn't have electricity for a/c either so we played outside.

 You can't help but smile when you look at her.

 

I'm sure those young enlisted guys love having these out of control officer kids running wild down there at the bar.

These kids were having so much fun.

So was Paw-Paw.

And Uncle Joe.

 A quick little cuddle.

This one was for you, Lady, since you couldn't be there. All this action and adventure in just 5 hours!
