Crazy but AWESOME weekend!

We were able to attend Leadership with AdvoCare this year and it was pretty amazing!  The drive there not so much!  BUT on the way there I was talking to a friend that was running the OKC Memorial 1/2 on Sunday (this was Friday) and she said she would pick me up at 5:00 if I wanted to run it to. So I scrambled to get registered and to coordinate my cousin picking up my bag and was pumped to run!  
 We FINALLY made it to Leadership and were about drowned trying to park and get in.  My sweet hubby dropped me off at the door and he got drenched!  But it was SO worth it.  I loved getting to hear from some of the creators of our amazing products.  Good people!
 Of course seeing this guy is always nice too!  ;)

love my Advo peeps!
While there Pops and GranJan were hanging with our girls...


 I think they had a pretty awesome weekend!  Jeremy and I got back LATE Saturday night and I was up at 4am somewhat ready to run!  We had issues finding parking and getting to where we needed to be so we totally missed my cousin and I had to run bibless!  yikes!  thankfully nobody stopped me and I got my medal.  ;)





 Karen was super fun to run with!  Our time ended up being 2:10…not too shabby!  :)

Jeremy was super sweet and met me at the finish line!  Love this guy!
 After a shower we headed back into OKC to meet my cousin and his wife for lunch.  IHOP of course! Nothing sounds better after a long run than a big stack of pancakes!  yum!  After lunch we walked down the riverwalk before Pops and GranJan had to head back home.

 I feel the need to point out that Ryne picked out Reese's clothes!  ha!

Love my family!
 Once we got home it was time to play outside and then a little manual labor.  ;)




Whew…I'm tired all over again just remembering that weekend!  ;)

Fun aboard...

Day 1 was spent living it up onboard…which means pool time!





Reese liked the smaller slides, but honestly loved the showers!

 After the slides it was time for some pool and hot tub fun!




 Before long it was time to get ready for dinner...


 Next up was showtime!
 The girls had fun doing there own little pre show!  



 We wore them out and called it a night soon  after the show.  We had to get ready for our next day in Key West!

The next morning we were up and off pretty early only to find out that our super fun excursion we had planned (fun beach, boat, jet skis, and parasail) was a no go.  No room for our sweet Reese!  Boo!  So we made the best of it and did some sightseeing around Key West.  We started by going back to the aquarium we visited the last time we were there!  ha!









 After that we jumped on a trolley for some sight seeing.  Ryne was super pumped because she had a row to herself!

 Then they told her she wasn't big enough to ride alone!  Not such a happy camper now!
 We were all pretty bored so we hoped off and grabbed lunch at one of our fans - Margaritaville!
 Ryne enjoyed some shopping...


 Then we headed back on board.
 We got ready for dinner and enjoyed eating as a family.  The girls LOVED our waiters and kinda refused to go to Camp Carnival for dinner!  lol!  They were good during the long meals and the waiters gave them lots of special attention.
 After dinner it was Camp Carnival and the Comedy Club for us...

 Then we picked up the girls for a little night time air before going to bed.


 Of course calming down this pirate took some time!  

 The next day we were at Freeport, Bahamas and we enjoyed a beach day!  The girls LOVED having fun in the sun all day!









 We rented a jet ski for a bit to ride the waves...


cutest sandy toes!
 Jeremy and Ryne went first while Reese and I played on shore.

 She practiced a little downward dog!  

 Then it was my turn to drive my crazy crew!


 We had fun but were ready to head out to the giant trampoline.



It was such a fun beach day!
 Reese actually crashed while we were waiting in line to get on a bus and slept the entire bus ride and walk back to the boat!  She was worn out!

 we came back to our room to this...
 Reese was still pretty worn out so we rested before dinner while daddy and big sis headed to the top...



 We all got ready (Reese wore her purchase from the beach, she insisted on this little blue dress!) and enjoyed another dinner together.

 then it was Camp Carnival followed by bed for this tired kitty…big sis too!
 The next day we woke up in Nassau! We were excited to spend our day at Atlantis!





 After a short bus ride…we were there!




 We had such a fun time!  I will take a water camera next time to get more pictures…but I managed a few!







 The girls did this water slide about 20 times each!




 They enjoyed the kiddie area too!






 We took turns doing the bigger ones with Ryne…she's fearless!  It was such a fun day!  We changed clothes and walked around the aquarium and resort before leaving.






 Then we headed back for another fun night on the boat.  Ryne photo bombed her picture…cracks me up!
 It was formal night so we all got dressed up!



love these people!
 Poor Reese was so tired!
 But she pepped up when they brought her ice cream with LOTS of cherries!
 Then we headed back to the room for some comfy clothes!

 They played a little game of hide and seek while they waited!  haha!
 The next day was a sea day…but we still managed to stay busy and have fun!  First up was a Dr. Seuss breakfast!












 It was super cute and yummy too!  We all enjoyed it.  Next up…pool and outdoor fun of course!  Jeremy and Reese played a little chess and did some swimming while Ryne and I conquered the ropes course!





 Then we joined them at the slides...







 Daddy even enjoyed the water slide!



 We made time for a little work-out too!  ;)


 Then it was time for our last dinner.  :(  Ryne colored some pictures and wrote little notes to all our waiters...
 Our waiters were so amazing with our girls.  They seems to really like their coloring pages and notes and a couple (that had kids around Ryne or Reese's age) teared up.  


 We dropped the girls off the Camp Carnival going away party and walked around the boat...
 Until picking them up and heading for one last ice cream!  While there Ryne ran into her buddy Chloe so we visited with her parents for awhile.
 Then it was bedtime and this little one crashed hard!

We had an amazing vacation and we were all a little sad to get off the boat and head back home.  I love any chance we can disconnect from the world and just enjoy family time.  Lots of sweet memories were made!
