Summer Fun!

The Peanut has been a very busy 1 year old--hence no posts for over a month now.. oops! This post will be in 2 parts due to some difficulties in uploading videos! So, here are the pictures and lots of videos are to follow. We have had lots of visitors and have been to Kentucky and Florida since E's birthday. We spent a whole week with our friends in Kentucky after we found out that is where we will be moving SOON! We looked at houses, went to the zoo, went swimming in a really cool quarry, and spent lots of time with our friends. It was a great trip! We also went to Florida for the 4th. It rained most of the time, but we didn't let it stop us. We got to see some Dolphins in the wild, catch some fish, play in the waves and eat at some really cool restaurants. E also went to her first fireworks show and loved it. We were nervous that it would be too loud, but she had a great time and clapped for most of the fireworks. It was pretty cute. 

We stopped for dinner on the way back from Kentucky and found this cute little chair for peanut. 

We were doing some shopping and E just HAD to have this balloon. She is still carrying it around today, almost 2 weeks later! 

So cute in her 4th of july dress! 

E is walking around everywhere. She hardly crawls anymore. Its so cute to see her walking around everywhere

Watching the fireworks! 

We walked around Destin in between rain storms and the Dolphins were swimming around

We went to lunch at McGuire's-- a really cool place in Destin. Customers have been pinning up dollars bills for years and now they have over 1.5 million dollar bills hanging all around the restaurant. Good thing they are insured! 

We stopped for some coffee and popcorn to wait for the rain to go away

This was peanut a few weeks ago at the world of coke. She wanted to try on a polar bear hat

Peanut after her daddy-daughter night at Chic Fil a. She got to ride in the limo, eat chicken nuggets with daddy and got a balloon and crown to wear. 

oh AND she got a rose

Checking out some fish at the aquarium. 

John fishing on the pier! The guys actually caught a lot of fish

peanut walking around the pier

This was a baby dolphin. Someone had dropped their balloon in the water and the dolphin was playing with the balloon and trying to toss it. It was really cool. 

With all of the rain, things were a little bit flooded everywhere, so we took Peanut puddle jumping. She loved it! 

So, thats what we have been up to in the past few weeks! As soon as I can get these videos to upload, you will be able to see it even better too. E has had such a great time exploring and visiting with all her friends and family.
