Kay-Shun!!

Cation-pronounced Kay-shun, you see, could not have come at a better time. Most of you may even know it as, vacation. Addi on the other hand says "Cation" therefor, we do too! We'd definitely been looking forward to our vacation since we had decided to for go condo life and rent a beach house - what a great decision that turned out to be. We'd seen this little community of houses on a walk we took last year from our condo on the beach. Its called Beachside and has 13 houses, a private pool that was bigger than our pool from last year, tennis courts a gazebo with grilling necessities and so much room. The trip down was pretty good - Eli decided he wanted to ride with us so Grammy hopped in with the Coffelts which made Addi pretty happy. I am just very thankful that I have in laws that I can spend an entire week with and that we want to spend that much time together. Really, my little girl loves those cousins of hers and its just adorable to watch her follow them around and even cuter how they really take care of her. The last morning they were playing and Seth had accidentally hit her in the mouth with a flash light, of course here came the blood & tears but the most pitiful part was that Seth went upstairs, got in bed, covered up and was crying - he felt so bad for making her hurt but I felt even worse for him b/c he really does have the sweetest heart and cares for her so much. We just had such a good time with no schedules, whiffle ball games on the tennis courts and beach, go kart rides, bumper boat drenchings, swealtering zoo trips, and just some good old fashion QT. As a family we truly are blessed. Addi slept in the bunk bed room with the boys, and of course again she thought she was such a big girl. And at night the boys would make sure she wasn't too close to the edge of the bed. We love Orange Beach - and can't wait to go back next year. Thank you Grammy for taking care of the "logistics" and making sure we were taken care of. We headed home a day early to attend a wedding tonight so we left out late of Gulf Shores but other than that it was a great trip but exhausting.
