Ballard family vacation, Gulf Shores

We had the BEST time on vacation this year.  A huge thank you to Janet and John for giving us such an amazing trip and a very special time to share with one another.  We are truly blessed.  

The weather was absolutely perfect the entire week!!  


The water this year was ridiculously beautiful!!!  We went to the beach every single day!!  

The kids had a blast!  They played together by the lake, beach, playground, bike rides, playing video games, and even games they just made up in the cabin!  







John and I even got to have a date night with Bud and Meghan!!  Such a treat :)


Cousins :)

Yep, this is our family beach picture, no one would cooperate basically the whole week for pictures.  But oh well...at least they can see we were together ;)

This big fella was in the lake one afternoon...

Here the kids are in a cabinet...yes...you heard me right.  They played in this cabinet about 75% of the time (not with video games the whole time though) ! hahaha   



Jackson was hysterical this trip with his sand obsession.  One time he was laying like this when Dan walked by and said "Uncle Dan...(then he paused for a minute....) it's what I do"  We just rolled with laughter over that statement! HA!  That's our boy!
Bailey was pretty funny this trip too.  She also has an obsession and it is dipping her food.  Her two phrases of the week were, "I dip it!" and "Put it riiiight there" (which she even said in the middle of the night!)

Besides waking up at 5:40 am everyday (ugh, thanks to Jackson!) and the kids having colds, it was a great trip!!!  I am very sad we had to come home.  We just loved being with everyone and all the laughter and fun times.  A lot of great memories were made.

Great pictures, adorable kiddos. I love scanning through to see Jackson's expression on each picture. He reminds me so much of my little buddy!
