Panama City Beach

Jackson's travel baseball team was playing in a tournament in Panama City Beach. After endless fundraising we get to Panama City lose all three games, the BP oil is quickly heading to the beach and the humidity is extremely high along with temps in the upper 90's. Besides that it was a great trip. It started out bad though. Rhylan started throwing up and running a fever the first night we were there. Must have been a little bug b/c she was fine the next day. We all got a little burnt OUCH! We rode the aquacycle and the banana boat. Everyone ate tons of seafood and we found out we love to crab hunt. All in all it was a good trip and we didn't ever encounter oil (thank goodness). The pictures are backwards - they start the last night and end on the first day.

The Aquacycle - a giant tricycle in water. Jeremy and Colyer took the first turn on the aquacycle and then me and Delaney took the next turn. Delaney could barely reach the pedals so I was doing most of the pedaling. My legs were hurting so bad.

What a workout.

At night all of the kids would go crab hunting.
They absolutely loved this.

AHHH! Makes me want to move to the beach.

Playing in the sand

The green water matched Rhylan's swimsuit :)

The water was so green b/c of all the algae.
You would have green slime on you.
This was only the first day.

The boys loved playing beach volleyball.
How sweet!

Memorial Day Weekend

On Memorial Day Weekend we headed to Ohio to the Great Wolf Lodge which can be compared to Wilderness at the Smokies. The boys were playing in the Kings Island Memorial Day Basketball Tournament. Jackson's team placed 2nd which was awesome on the other hand Colyer's team didn't do as hot but they still had fun. Of course they loved the waterpark which was next door to Kings Island. We could see the whole theme park from the outdoor pool. Everyone had a blast.
The kids are letting you know we are headed to OHIO!
