Kid Conversations {vol. 2}

While at ballet camp waiting for Brielle's class to be done and theirs to start, Kendall and her bff have spent the week writing lyrics and choreographing a dance to it.  Nearing the end of their long practice,

Kendall: This is too much hard work.

Hannah: Kendall, this is for the Lord!

Kendall:  Let's take a water break.

Hannah:  Ok

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When settling down into bed,

Brielle:  I'm scared!

Kendall (irritated): There's no reason to be scared.  There are two people here..... me.....and God!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclaimer:  This following conversation contains adults only, but it sure was funny!

While vacationing with the in-laws, Gabe lost his balance on the water slide (that he had already slid down with Brielle in his lap for like 83 times) and hit his rear end on the grate at the bottom of the pool...

Gabe (laughing, as always) :  I got a big ole bruise on my butt!

Mother-in-law:  Gabe! That could give you trouble for the rest of your life!

Me:  Way to be positive there, Vickie.

Father-in-law:  Well here's the positive note...at least if it's the rest of your life you don't have long to suffer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brielle:  Mom, what's for dinner?

Me: hot dog with no bun, corn...

Brielle (using her daily "hate" trick that I don't fall for):  I don't like anything yellow.

Me (outsmarting her), downcast, horrified face and voice:  I guess you can't drink lemonade anymore.

<5 for="" pause="" second="" turning="" wheels="">~5 second pause for turning wheels~

Brielle:  I drink pink lemonade.

Ballet Camp 2016

Orange Beach 2016

We went to the beach again with Papa and Gigi this year. I was so glad to be there since we didn't go last year due to building the house. It was NICE to get away for a few days!

Kendall and Brielle (and Mom and Dad) LOVED the water slide!
(As usual we spent way more time at the pool than the beach.)

Not quite sure this suit meets the modesty requirements!

There were TONS of hermit crabs at the bay right outside our condo!

When you're three years old and so deliriously tired that you pee your pants on the beach, you have to make a run for it for the elevator, all the while making sure your boobies and belly button are modestly covered!

From our condo balcony we saw a group of serious fisherman come back from a 48 hour tuna fishing trip over 100 miles out! 

Looking for crabs at night

Gigi actually caught this in her net!
