Badmitten on a Sunday evening. 

Memorial Day bike ride on Legacy trail. Drew pulled Annie in the tag along bike and the boys did awesome! Who knew they could bike 7 miles! 

Lunch with friends at Wallace station. 

Boys playing Pokemon cards with Joseph. 

The last day if school I went to macs class presentation. He and a couple students wrote a play. He did awesome! 

Finally!!! The last day of school! 

Annie walking into the library. Mac says "mom, I know why Annie likes wearing her princess shoes, they make her feel like a woman!" Oh boy and I think he's right. 

This is Annie's "who likes Costco?! I do!!!" Face. 

Mac was running around the house and slipped on the tile and hit his head on the entry table. He doesn't do well with blood at all. We called uncle Jed and decided to just clean it up and let it heal. When i was washing out the cut Mac kept saying "I can be brave, I can be brave" over and over again between sobs. When i finished he said " make sure you thank uncle Jed." He really is the sweetest boy. 

G's tball team dinner

G's last games they came in second. It was a long but fun season! 

Baby beach- searching for crabs 

On the way home we stopped at a fish shack...

Later that night my parents watched the kids so the adults could go out for dessert... Yum! 

Eagle beach- Mac found a sand dollar. 

Lucy adores Mac. 

We had such a great time in Aruba. Loved spending time with family and seeing a new country but could do without the sad goodbyes and delayed flights. We ended up getting home at 4 in the morning. 

Downtown Aruba- my kids have never been around a telephone before and were fascinated with this phone booth. 

Annie abd Lucy are one in the same. These girls got along so well, making sand pizzas and rolling in the waves. 

We took a boat out to snorkel in reefs and around a sunken ship. Very cool, proud of the kids for trying it. Mac stayed out the whole time but Annie and gray got nervous and came in just as soon as they could.

Happy Mother's Day

We joke around that my mom plans our family vacations purposefully on her birthday or on Mother's Day. Either way it's great to be together on these kind of days. The kids prepared a song and gifts for the moms and my bother Ry made a delicious brunch for us.  we even got to celebrate Ry and Roos 8th anniversary with them- how romantic?! 

Aruba

This year the McAllister vacation was to Aruba. We met Dave in Atlanta and flew to Aruba with him. 

We stayed in the Mariot surf club and it was fantastic. The pool had a waterslide and a lazy river. The kids never wanted to leave.
